Re: How to implement a MultiFileLoader?

As I've pointed out before, the form module isn't useful as an example 
for my use case, MVDDataObject in vmd.midp.converter is probably more 
useful.

However, I've only made the layer declaration active again, which I 
created before and which has been converted automatically did change 
behaviour. Probably it isn't always reliable - I'll have to check that 
later.

I've to look, why my icon is missing now, and why DataFolder does not 
ignore the secondary entries.

Kind regards
Peter
