Works fine, too.

I've fixed the two issues from my patch and the bug, that you've noticed 
when the skip option was set to selection.

I've integrated all your changes from the tracker into cvs (in the 
autonumber branch) on saturday.

Tomaz, can you send me the glade file, or add it to the tracker?
I'd like to play with the sort order and take a look which are the best 
default values for the dialog.

I'd prefer:
  Searchtext:  "refdes=*"
  Autonumber text in: selection
  Skip numbers found in: Current page
If the sort order would be a dropdown box I'd like to see:
  diagonal  (default)
  top down
  bottom up
  left to right
  right to left
  fileorder
Options
  Starting number: 1
  Remove numbers: unchecked
  Automatic slotting: unchecked

I'm wondering if "Remove numbers" should remove the slot number if 
automatic slotting is activated?

Regards
Werner
