1 - I agree with the great interest of a refresh button.
2 - I suggest that the default .settings file includes all the signals
and the user has only to remove the useless ones.
The nasy problem is the signals/modules which have changed of name. I
have no really wise suggestion against this problem.

It is much quicker than GTKViewer to start up and it doesn't need the
X server (on Windows).

an option to refresh the display automatically if the VCD file gets

viewer and is great for "going round the loop" quickly.

the waveform window. Again this makes the usage easier for development.

click on the vcd file in the solution explorer and the viewer pops up :-)
