Hi Etienne, This looks cool.
It would be very nice if one could search within this tree editor - and if the settings could have a more descriptive text as well as well as alternative tags if one only knows the term a bit fuzzy. Do you think that a search and a "fuzzy search" could be added? Where do you get the list of properties from? Could tags and descriptive text be added to these settings?
