Wow that was fast. Will try it immediately and take some screens for 
comparison. I guess it's not THAT important whether the tab is the first or 
the last one so it is OK for me you did it the easier way ;-)

I missed one thing to mention in my "review": I am not sure whether "advanced 
settings" is a good name for the tab. I was a little confused by that name 
cause one automatically looks for the "standard settings" tab the "advanced" 
might refer to. Well, and we both know such a tab doens't exist. It is not 
clear in my opinion that the three buttons on the bottom are refered to 
as "standard settings" and the tab provides "advanced settings".

I hope one can understand my thoughts about the name of the "advanced 
settings". I vote for renaming it to a term that realy refers to what the 
tab "does" (advanced settings for what? metadata? view? download?). Something 
like "download settings/transfer settings/filename settings" would be more 
clear I'd think. (Everybody please make better recommendations if you have an 
idea).
