Hi Marko, 

Its great to see support for multiple versions of the different categories :)
My only concern is for those categories which have a large number of previous
versions (Cat 21). While it is unlikely to support all versions, I performed a
quick experiment where I assigned 7 versions to a single category. It seems the
preference panel will expand to show all the versions rather then keep the same
size panel and let the user scroll along.
