Wish B4A SDK Manager should have list of recommended downloads

I am running the new B4A Sdk Manager for the first time and the list of options to download is quite large and it appears unorganized (ungrouped).

It would be nice if there was a pulldown menu that had "Minimum Recommended" and "Recommended" so that when selected it will select the items in the list that needed to be downloaded. This eliminates the need for someone to wade through the list searching for the right items to download.

Also is it possible to display a tree instead of a simple list so related download items can appear grouped together?

TIA

I solved this problem (operator error).

I was using my existing Android SDK_Tools directory instead of using the one I downloaded (but not installed) by pressing "Download SDK" button on the B4A Sdk Manager window. The reason I kept using my existing Android SDK directory was because the binary files in it were more recent that the files I just downloaded using "Download SDK" button. When I switched to the newly downloaded SDK_Tools directory (older files), I do see the various Android platforms and the recommended downloads. When I used my existing directory I saw only the "Extras" which were all thrown together and there were no Android platforms.
