to be honest, for my panel view of the menu, having those 2 controls (up/down) seems better than just 1 + dialog, since that way continuos moving of the item would be difficult, i hope that makes sense..

It does make sense. My instinct to go for the single-control/select dialog is two fold: Multiple - quick - clicks on move up/down don't work well: more often than not it ends up that you're moving the wrong item. This could potentially be fixed in Skin Shortcuts, but it would require a nightmare solution where we're keeping track of when we're performing an action, storing any actions that come in during that time, then looping through any stored actions. In short: really not nice code (and the whole point of the v18 version of the script is to try to eliminate all the 'not nice' code that's come in since the scripts inception. The second reason is because I spent a lot of time thinking about how to implement a decent 'move' function in the Node editor, and I'm actually rather pleased with what I came up with

Perhaps it would be better to implement 'Move' as a separate, new, gui control for v18.
