AC10 hotlink interface

dear forum,

please find below some observations about the ac10 hotlink system...

1. in ac9 you could assign hotlinks within hotlink manger, however in ac10 this functionality has shifted to the "place hotlink" dialogue;
2. the "skip nested modules" box remains in hotlink manager - note: this is the only place where this function is accessible;
3. if i add a new hotlink via the "place module" dialogue, why can't i skip the nested modules there...

now, although it takes time to get used to i do like the changes made to "hotlink manager":
a. the interface provides more information in a clearer way;
b. you do not have an uneccessary long, unstructured and cluttered list of hotlinks no matter if they are placed or not;
c. at last the "hotlink manager" window is resizeable;

however i think the following is still missing from the "place hotlink" interface:
I. the "skip nested modules" dialogue needs to also be included in the place modules process;
II. the "choose hotlink" window also needs to be resizeable, as it still (and so it should!) includes all previously selected potential hotlinks it does become too long to be efficient in only six lines;

additionally, it would be nice to be able to "skip nested modules" for multiple files in "hotlink manager".
