That's the way I see it, too. Using is should be fun.

Yep, that's really missing. I want to implement a object-property dialog
for such purposes.

Hmm, is mouse-wheel scrolling on the buttons good enough for you? :)
(Because I'm going to implement that)

Good idea.

I don't think so. They are meant for contrib-levels anyway. That you
can't access files, that aren't in a directory containing a info file
could be addressed with the command-line idea and maybe I can extend
the Load Subset dialog for loading only one level.
