Hmm, yeah I tried that, doesnt seemt to be working for me, I was
suspecting It was something hidden like that, but nothing pops up when
i right click. The old approach with a greyed out button for the
different fields wasnt all that bad was it? 

I would really like to be able to add python scripts to the other
fields that dont have a special button. But that is kinda out of scope
:)

For me it always feel better with any kind of list taking up the entire
 height of the window, and having the boxes of options on the side of
them. 

However I really like the unifrom style you managed to get in the UI
with a similar layout of all the dialogs. Not just a big fan of the
particular style, but for me the uniformity is more important, it kinda
makes one familiar with the whole program quicker. 

Let me know If you want me to test anything, 
I dont really have a lot of time on my hands, but some testing and
feedback I am happy to help out with.
