Well, if I am not mistaken, selecting 'all' was just another option overriding everything else selected in the combobox. With 'all' selected the whole dialog reacted differently. > My idea was that the category of a selected symbol is also indicated > when all symbols are displayed. Ah... by switching around the selecting item in the combobox? So if 'all' is on, the combobox is 'output information', if 'all' is off, it is 'primary input'?

Selecting e.g. 'Box Drawing' selects the box symbol only etc. Where else do we need to navigate? > The model/view-approach itself seems reasonable. So please just merge in this part. That is what solves the speed problem after all. Andre'
