Then I get an error message:

I am aware of that now. I wasn't always. It was hard to understand that
Blender couldn't do some very basic things since years, and nobody seemed
to care. But I got patient. Hey, some of my models in FlightGear are
untextured since *years*, only because I'm still waiting for the uv tools
to become "useful". (They still aren't really. For my purposes.) But
I don't have a demanding attitude -- after all I sent two patches in
that fix the most urgent problems for me.

Maybe I missed something, but what is most annoying for me is that I
can't see all uv-mappings in the uv editor at the same time. That way
I can't pack them myself. While archimap is very nice, I could do a better
job manually. But I can't if I don't see the "whole" picture.
