Tested some of the options available on 1st page, and they seem to do what they should, so that's also good news.

Well the Prefs via the context menu didn't load frrom the Panel.app . . . so, UNLESS I double-click on the executable. Actually the context menu option doesn't show anything happening (disk activity) and even after waiting for something to happen for a few minutes . . . still nothing happens!

Yes they do seem to be copied to "T:" but don't get deleted when the program exits

Well after I used the context-menu Prefs option I didn't get anything happening, so I closed your Panel.app, and there was no crash, so it seems the executable for the Prefs may not even be loading so when the App is quit as it has not loaded the Prefs via the Context-menu it doesn't trigger any "crash"!

At 1st I had just opened ambient's catalog which mostly worked but crashed when you set it to english as I hadn't included the buildin strings. Ambient has a metric s##tload of those which would have inflated binary size. [] So I wrote a LUA script that pulled just the used strings and placed them in the source code, at a later time I will simple parse through all the translation files to generate Panel specific ones (which could then be used by actual translators as a starting point for further support). [] Next step will be the rest of the prefs options, D&D for the listtree synced with the panel and maybe an attempt at an external class.
Nice. I'll test this alpha a bit more in case I come across issues that I haven't already reported that I have come across.
