BETA-530a1r2--Default Settings, etc.

After reading many positive reports about this latest BETA/Alpha release, I went ahead and installed it. It is working very good for the most part. I read the "Docs" which came with the download, but I still have a few observations and questions, since they weren't mentioned in the docs. Rythal, you've done a great job fixing and improving Carbonite!

Just a few observations and questions:

-- It's impossible to enter values manually (by typing) into the 'boxes' in the Options/dialog screens. Only the slider bar works (records the values), but the mouse cursor covers up the values, so they can't be seen while sliding. Manually-entered values are not recorded.

-- I fiddled around with the Scaling values for things like icon scales, min/max, etc. However, I found no way to reset those values back to their default values. I messed things up while experimenting. Short of reinstalling Carbonite again, is it possible for you to provide a "Reset only these values back to default" option?

-- Where can I find either a small graphic of that dialog or even a text file showing me the default Scale settings?

-- About map scaling: (Note: I choose not to incorporate the minimap into the larger Carbonite map).
I have observed by experimentation that the "Save Map Scale" doesn't perform on each map (the smaller one and the larger one) independently of each other. Whatever the scale of the smaller map is... the larger map displays in that scale. I thought they could each be assigned their own scale setting since their views are drastically different from one another; a larger map for an overview of an area and the smaller map for a more detailed view of an area. I may be wrong, but I thought it used to work that way?

I love many of your improvements! Thank you.

BTW... will there be a complete Carbonite User Manual, eventually, and hopefully one which will be kept up-to-date as Carbonite improves and/or changes? Just wondering and hoping.
