2) As BetterRed pointed out, typing lists of lookup names isn't easy, especially as a restart is required for every attempt.

3) Maintaining the tweak in the face of column additions and changes isn't easy.

(I see on rereading BetterRed's post that he said all of the above.)

Preferences / Look & feel is the right place for this. That said, I am not totally happy with it. The dialog looks rather empty. Eventually other stuff might go there.

Samples:
As the other Charles might have exclaimed - Good grief

I like the vertical tabs - more please.

I'll have a look at the latest 5.99 beta.

Perhaps a replication of the check boxes and column ordering in Add your own columns, and a View Manager Lite.
