Final version 5.3 should come soon 
Looking forward to it and the xml approach. Okh, your WiFi connection malfunction is strange. Sweet Home 3D doesn't use Internet except at start to check if there's a new version. Could you disable updates check in preferences to see if it behaves better?
Yes it is pretty strange... Tried beta 14, with and without Update Check. Everything seems ok. At one point, I did indeed loose my WiFi connection again, but I do not think it is SH3D as such that kills it. I think it may have to do with many programs simultaneously accessing the 64 GB SD card, generating read/write errors and taking down Windows Explorer. But then it is NOT a SH3D issue, it is a problem with how the system mounts the SD card. Will let you know if it happens in some sort of identifiable way related to SH3D.The extra spacing you report in the catalog must come from the long information you set on one item.
That is what I thought. But I suppose it is new to 5.3 as my libraries did not change since 5.2.a. Probably few people will notice as not that many use information fields in the libraries extensively. But I would prefer the more compressed view with title and first line of the information fields so I can see more models at the same time. I also tried the Category folders view, and there too there are some oddities with how info is presented. Sent you screenshots.ok
