It would be nice to put all your dashboards under one folder. At the moment, its possible but it doesn't look pretty: Dash\Avl\Av.xbe, Dash\UL\UL.xbe.
It's not a big problem but here is idea how to work around this problem.

Instead of "Dashboard Boot Drive", have "Dashboard Boot Drive & Folder".
eg. F:\Dashboards
- thats 13 characters

Under "Dashboard Filesname":
- if you give a string that doesn't have the extension *.xbe then treat it as a folder and automatically look for the .xbe file in the current folder.
- else, boot dashboard filename.

eg. EvolutionX
- thats 10 characters

This will allow us to group all your dashboards in one folder like this:
F:\Dashboards\EvolutionX\Default.xbe
F:\Dashboards\Avalaunch\AvLaunch.xbe

A little more flexibility would be nice.

For now, I set mine as so:
c:/Ava/Ava.xbe
c:/Evo/Evo.xbe
c:/Unl/Unl.xbe
c:/Xbm/Xbm.xbe

Sure, it's not pretty... but it works and it's organized:)
