Good idea. I have just a question which I'm afraid will reveal how
much of an ignorant I am when it comes to GUI. I am afraid that these
i18n'ed strings might become too long in certain languages to fit in
the given horizontal space in the dialog. Or would it be automatically
resized then? Do i need to do anything specific in Designer to let
that happen?

OK. It means technically the "number of iterations". So i guess that
"level of detail" is ok.

I like "lock current view".

That's of course the goal, and what you're discussing here is the bug
that i mention in the other thread (solved in my local copy).

Thanks, it's always useful to have input from a native english speaker!
