--- Comment #8 from sdc.blanco at youmail.dk ---
New Description.

1. Tools > Chapter Numbering is where it is necessary to add numbering/bullets
(and format their layout) for Heading 1-10.

2.  At present, the Load/Save dialog offers the possibility to "save" a design
(stored in {user profile}/config/chapter.cfg), which can then be loaded into
other documents.

3.  As noted in comment 2, maybe a new approach is needed.

4.  Meanwhile, where are problems with current design that a new design should
address.

A.  There needs to be a way to "reset" the dialog (i.e., values for numbering
and position at different levels) to "null/initial state"), or maybe just a
"New" command to get a "clean sheet" from which to start.

B. In current design, it is possible to load an "empty" entry, but maybe the
dropdown list should only show actually existing formats, so that you do not
have to guess if the entry has been configured or not.

C.  There are some experiences (also by Timur) that "Position" information is
not always saved (but have not found reliable STR) or maybe there is a problem
with how Loading is working in relation to position (that makes it look like
information is lost).  

In short, from user PoV (independently of how implemented): 
- "Save as" should save numbering and position information for all levels.
- Loading a "saved entry" should completely update the loaded values for
numbering and position for all levels, according to the saved entry. 
- Preview should be updated when loading a saved entry to correspond to the
saved entry.
