Don't get too down on yourself ;-) I try to do tree control every once in a
while! Your dialog will be fine. Your other code I'm sure is fine. The only
thing that I'm contesting is where you should activate your dialog and how its
information gets propegated to the importer/exporter.

Yes, please do submit this and someone will integrate this into the tree
appropriately (i.e. after those few mods are made).
This is something that I'm *really* glad that someone did and i *really really
really* want to see go into the tree ASAP. I won't have any time to do this in
the next week or so but chances are that I'll have time next week.

Fear not, your efforts aren't wasted. They're *greatly* appreciated. This is
functionality that we dearly need and will put us ahead of our competition in
this regard.
Thank you very much Andrew for all of your hard work. Keep it up dude!
