Re: How to implement a MultiFileLoader?

Hm, would be nice if there'd be an option to create a lyer entry from 
anotations - even more, as up-to-date tutorials usually use annotations 
now ... I'll go looking for some old ones, to find out.

Is there sth. like "@SuppressWarning" for layer files?  ;-)

Kind regards
Peter
