Imported furniture libraries don't show up
Hi people,
and thanks so much for this amazing creation!

I've been trying to import model libraries from various sources including the ones on http://www.sweethome3d.com/importModels.jsp#ModelsLibraries.

After selecting a .zip I soon get a message saying library was successfully imported and new models can be found in the catalog, which indeed seems to refresh.

However, not a single new object actually shows up in the catalog.

some more info:
* If I try importing the same zip again, I get a msg saying that the library already exist..!
* I tried zipping together some zips not in my catalog yet, and importing as library - exact same behavior as above, on first and subsequent attempts.
* Then I load each of those models (zip=obj+mtl) separately with import wizard and all new models show up perfectly!
* The successful-unsuccessful importing of libraries never asks me for their category or anything else - is this OK?
* The "import furniture library" dialog initially masks "Furniture Libraries" only, so I switch to "All Files" and select a .zip - is this OK?
* I am not quite sure whether all objects now visible in my catalog are the ones that came with sh3d installation, or whether an import of libraries did work until a certain stage.
* Shutting & restarting all instances of sh3d does not change the problem.
