NO. That was a quick MOCKUP, an IDEA of how things COULD look like, not
my idea of how they MUST look like. Please read my initial post again,
and especially my response to Juha.

After that, we got Ludo & your idea of a basic versus advanced options
dialog, which would fit in very well as well.

This is the way things seem to be going...

I'd agree that wouldn't help.
