Agreed. I did not know it would have been so difficult. It is very nice and
clear however, compared to the settings filetype dialog. I got some strange
minor bugs in the filetype dialog accessed from the context menu, like text
being saved in the previous (to the left) field. For example, what was
introduced in labels got automatically to extensions after having pressed
the down button or recently enter. Nothing very disturbing, anyway :).
