Making this optional would : be important, because for some users this might be more confusing than : helpful. I agree, this would be a nice feature. I did not give it a thourogh thought but would it not be possible to use the :group attribute for this? Maybe the group names could be tied to file names for saving? It no such association then the main customization file could maybe be used? Some people might perhaps be confused by the group "hierarchy" here. Is not this more a network than a hierarchy? Could the feature suggested above be kept outside of this? - Lennart
