But that would require only a xml merger, i bet there's pretty much libs and 
progs to do that task.
Think of mozilla bookmark import.
The imported new patterns would appear at the end or in a separate 
folder...(did we talk about folders ? no ? ...^^)

Yes it's a 'all or nothing' solution, but is less complex and then, with an xml 
editor you can trim down what you like to export anyway.

About storing...i still don't like the idea of storing at closing the main app.
I work with different instances, and i'm never sure what got saved and what 
not...yes i know that's be fixed with tabs, but bet your ass users will find 
enough reason to have multiple instances nonetheless. Workspaces, for example, 
or folder specific launchers.

Plus i run kind of experimental software (totally screwed up debian 
exp/unstable on f*cking unstable hardware) and i face kernel crashes about 
every 2 month or so. While i admit this is not the standard case (i hope) i 
just like to explain why i like a robust design. Storing immediately will 
sustain even when anything crashes in the highnoon of work...
I think KDE is doing it that way, too, today, and the same goes for Yast.
Immediately would mean, after closing advrename, that'd be sufficient.
Of course, i argue the same for any other settings.

Ah i like talking ^^
