Thanks very much for the suggestion!

A few thoughts:

In the Preset window, the user can already select multiple presets - so that might suggest an import routine with checkboxes rather than radiobuttons (allowing for the import of more than 1 preset).

Any import routine displaying the file content would have to pre-scan the file (in a kind of buffer); so all in all the whole routine would start to look suspiciously like the existing operation of opening the file in a new window. (I'm not saying that this means it's superfluous, but I do want to keep things simple for the users.)

Maybe I could drop the Import function that's currently in the "B-Controls" window, in favor of this more sophisticated routine.

Anyway, I'll think about it.
It's one of those things that have to grow in my mind.
With several thousand users of the program (or at least downloaders...), I do feel some responsibility for making/keeping things working elegantly.

Mark.
