No, it's not enough with the current design. When we first open that tabbed window we search for file collections and cache the information. Just reopening the window, you get the cached data. That could be revised (and maybe should be revised) but it wouldn't be trivial. > - Is the isl.tar.gz thing case-insensitive? In the window I'm seeing "ISL" > (which is good, better than "isl", I believe). "ISL" is what's shown to the user, based on the "descriptions" file inside the package. The filename is all lower-case following the pattern of most of the tar.gz data-file archives. Whether that makes any difference depends on the platform. Note that there's something kinda similar with the Lütkepohl data: "Lütkepohl" shown to the user but "luetkepohl.tar.gz" for the filename.
