Midi import bugs

It seems that, no matter if "insert instrument change" is checked or not, when opening a midi file without using the wizard the instrument changes are not imported.
Also the note resolution and rest resolution seem ignored. (This explains why I never had any effect fiddling with those parameters!)

Using the import wizard with the same options does get the "instrument change", but the imported score rhithm is... completely wrong.

Just to be clear, this is without wizard (correct):

|Chord|Dur:Half,Dotted|Pos:3,5,7|Opts:Stem=Down

With the wizard (options unchanged):

Flurmy,

Both captures seem identical to me. 
But, how can I get a midi -file into NWC without using the wizard?
The wizard starts as soon as I try to "open" or "import" a midi file.

Tools -> Options -> File -> Use import wizard on open

Thank you, Flurmy. I see.  ;)
This option is indeed checkboxed in my version.

Perhaps the help entry should be changed to explain what this options actually does  :))
