:I think we shouldn't take that broken-tab thing lying down, EdT. It's probably necessary to use tabs in the final product to avoid exploding the user's head when they see all the options. Whenever you feel like it's ready enough for me to try out (no rush), I will see what I can do about getting the tabs to work.

:This is great as-is. If this goes under its own tab, "Installation", it's perfect.

:There's a bit of confusing language here, and it actually goes back to how OniSplit uses the word "extract" vs. "export". I mean, technically, extracting is like when OniSplit splits .dat/.raw into .oni files. Exporting (notice the "port" part) is when you alter the format of a file when saving it with another name, so like when OniSplit takes an ONCC.oni file and saves it as .dae. I know OniSplit doesn't use the terms that way, but I think we should use our own wording here if it makes things more user-friendly.
:Also, using "export" allows us to use the antonym "import" for the flip-side (see below). "Intract" is not a word. :-)

:"Create" is a nice word, but I'm afraid it's too vague. If we use "Import" here and "Export" above, the user will quickly see that importing means bringing a new/altered file back into Oni, and exporting is taking the original data out of Oni.
:P.S.: The "Did you make a backup of the original?" reminder is a nice touch. But let me ask you, is that "Create" button (or "Import", as I recommend) going to put the .oni file into a levelx_Final folder, or just put it in a directory for the user to then move it over himself? Also, http://www.kryptonsite.com/forums/images/smilies/ez-eek.gif at the cel-shaded option.
