>1) What is the proper behavior of this feature?
The idea was to be able to read several files as if they were put into one file.
I started this work after some requests about it, but never got feedback from
the same people who asked for it, so I stopped working on it because I don't
have the knowledge to be sure that what I was doing was correct.
>2) Is there some use for that first parameter?
It's just a name to identify the group of files (for example, just to label the
main window of the application)
>3) Should we document it in the next release?
IMHO, not yet.
I don't know what you have added, but what I did worked only for the atoms and
that's all (bonds were created only with the autobonding feature, but were not
read correctly from the files). All the other structures need work.

I don't think efficiency is a problem for this. Even if we have 100 properties,
that will only mean at most 100 comparisons to find the correct function.

I didn't look at your list, so maybe there's already what I ask:
- everything that is needed to export to povray (all display options, all kind
of structures, ...)

>1) WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS FIREFOX ISSUE?
First, report it to the Firefox team.
If it's quickly fixed, then maybe let's do as if there was no problem (everyone
will update their firefox since the auto-update feature is easy to use)
