Yes, this dialog should be improved. Sometimes, the list is much too
short, then it's too long. Then, I often do it this way: I select
"--all--" and start adding methods. These methods get categorized as "as
yet..". Then I choose rename... to given them a useful name and then
continue adding to "all". This omits that long "new category.." menu which
always shows only categories I don't want and so I need three clicks to
eventually add something. To sumarize, when renaming, it would be nice if
there's a kind of drop-down-combox box which always shows the most typical
names like "accessing", "testing", etc.
