[TYPO3-templavoila] Usability problem selecting templates

[Jens Hoffmann]

Hi Tapio,

I don't really get this ... sorry.
Can you post a Screenshot for a better understanding? :)
So i/we can see what is the prob. on this typical function.

I use only TV ... so maybe I can't see the "tree in the forest". :)
