Feature idea

[Kevin Steele]

Hello again,

For the next beta (to be release relatively soon), we've added a 
preferences pane for modifying the graphic styles and layout type used 
when importing OmniOutliner documents.  It lets you set up a number of 
outline prototypes, each of which has a layout type and list of 
prototype graphics, one for each level of indentation.

Best Regards,
Kevin Steele
