xref objects

"xref objects" in 'Model Merge Options'

There are only three options in "Model Merge Options":
1) Merge as Proxy
2) Use Existing Proxy-File
3) Display as Box

Is it possible to merge the 3D model objects like using the "xref objects", that can be found in 3dsmax's file menu?

Another thing I noticed...

And another thing I noticed - is there going to be speed improvement in the next versions? I noticed that the project manager hangs for 4-5 second before showing up the files if they are on a network location. In "HCG asset browser pro" (script similar to "Project Manager") the files show up almost instantly. I hope that this gets solved in next releases.

----------------------
Any who is familiar with a network knows about it.
Windows so works.
I think the "Project Manager" must have ability to delete files.
And certainly a key "Delete" have knowingly placed out separately from the basic keyboard keys.
It is difficult for pressing by accident.
-------------------------------------------
Sorry, but i not plan to remove this ability.

Yes, it moves the folders and files to the bin but only if they are on the local disk. If they are on the network - bye-bye files. I just did a test with an empty folder on the network and it gets wiped out completely! In the rush someone won't pay attention to the pop-up dialog window. Most users hit "yes/ok" or enter by default on any window which pops up.

Files and folders from the local disk is will be removed to the recycle bin.
Before removing pops up a dialogue with the possibility of cancellation.
Have to be very-very inattentive to accidentally delete a file.

Why delete from the HDD???

I don't know if this was proposed before but I have a vital suggestion for the script.
You should remove the delete button from the right click menu and also make the delete key on the keyboard delete just the folder from the script not from the hard disk. Someone will accidentally wipe out his libraries by mistake and will be really pissed off for sure. I hope this gets implemented in the next version.
