Hi,

I just have some questions after puttering around with the toolset quickly. It's pretty interesting so far, but there are a few things I haven't really seen mentioned on the wiki, or at least I've been too blind to notice in my enthusiasm.

1) Is there any way to see what resources you have checked out? I can search through everything for the green checkmarks, but it'd be nice to know for when I come back later if I could quickly filter-select those.

2) Is there any reason to open a resource as a local copy other than to use it as a quick scratchpad? The yellow-background text says that all changes will be lost when you exit the toolset, and if I make a change and then check the resource out, then all changes are reverted - seemingly anyway.

3) The wiki mentions that you can undelete deleted resources. I doubt they'd take up too much harddrive space, but is there any easy way to just start with a clean slate? I'm thinking I'd have to reinstall the toolset (which might involve having to reinstall the game) or messing around in the SQL database, which I'd probably mess something up in anyway and have to reinstall. In the same vein, since we can't delete modules, is there any simple way to just nuke everything and start with the defaults again - without reinstalling? 

4) I don't suppose there's a way to lock resources. Call it paranoia, but I don't want to accidentally check out, modify, and check back in a resource that's part of the main game instead of modifying a duplicate of it. I was used to running the NWN2 toolset as a limited user (a habit from using Linux a lot before), but I can't connect to the database unless I'm running as the Administrator - I'm sure I can configure that, though, but I don't know if that would cause other unforseen issues.

Anyway, thanks so far for a great toolset.
