Making good, nice-looking schedules with numbers breaking down evenly and as desired is a very difficult problem for almost any league configuration. Do not expect big leaps in schedule generator capabilities. Offdays not falling in the "right" places, unbalanced home/away, too long or too short streaks playing home or away, too many games against the same opponents in too short a time frame... Nobody wishes more than me that these were easy things to program and solve.

Agreed on the dialog box for loading the files. That should be improved to make it easier to see the whole file name. As it is now selecting a file shows you the tough-to-read word-wrapped file name, then you have to find that again highlighted in the folder list to the left if you want to choose something else.
