Drawback: having a lot of hashes loaded (even 100, 1k, 10k, 100k?), it
would be hard to use the drop down lists. When user chooses a format
for a line, what should it mean?
I am not against such design at all, I just wanted to share my
concerns earlier.
For the beginning, I'd made a read only field that lists all formats.
Though it may overwhelm user. I am not sure that per line lists of
formats are useful now.
Some statistics about file may be helpful. Something like: all hashes
in the file may be loaded as ..., ..., ..., but parts of file may be
loaded as ..., ..., ... .

It may work with read only field, so the filter would show a part of
file that may be loaded as a certain format.
Thanks!
