Re: How to implement a MultiFileLoader?

Maybe you should, in this specific unique and complex case, not use 
annotations. Just use the layer file manually, yes, more work, but will 
give you more control in this case and the DefaultLoader you get via 
annotations won't be automatically used and you'll register your own 
loader manually instead. Annotations are useful in 80% or so of the 
cases and I believe you may be in the 20% where they're more a hindrance.
