Overview missing behaviors

When we import a yaml overview or when we just click on an overview link, the old overview settings are replaced, fine, but the presets are just merged.
This comes with some advantages (adding missing presets, any other?) but, the big disadvantage is that we cannot simply "import and replace" or "rollback" our settings...

So I think there are some vital behaviors missing in the new overview :
- A way, a magic button, or whatever, that allow us to CLEAR all preset at once. (Not clicking delete->preset thousand times) [edit: found this, it's the button reset overview settings, but it clears settings too, not only presets...]
- A checkbox to allow / prevent from merging presets when we click on overview
- A "restore" button that remove the new overviews we get when we just click on an overview.
- By the way, importing overview settings + preset should replace existing overview presets, not merging with them (or at least, give us an option to prevent this please).

I hope these will be added / fixed... it's really annoying the way it is at the moment...

Thanks in advance..

Another thing that would be great would be to add the new overview types by default to all overview presets when releasing an expansion.
It is a lot easier (and safer) to remove something we do not want to see and re-save the preset than having to add it manually (especially since not everybody reads patchnotes or realizes that this new kind of attack battlecruiser, sansha/sleeper/mordus npc or startbase structure will not show by default).

Basically, the overview settings should remember what is hidden, and not what is shown :).
