<shrugs> Since WC is a fairly new feature, then I can see there poiint :)
Personally I like it that way, but it would be nice if there was a card list 
and a program which had a guess at the card you had and looked it up in the 
file to get the suggested settings for it..

But since it doesn't exist, a program to do it manually will do for now :)
