How can that be the preferable way? Are you saying that I should move my database over to the texmf tree?

I think there should be two Add buttons, one for those in the path and one to browse the fs. Or maybe the Add dialogue should be tabbed with one tab for each method. Actually the tabbing sounds better now that I think about it. Have fun, Darren
