> Say I want to replace the map, then this is exactly what it looks like from the Widelands user interface - the official map has been replaced with my edited map.
It is optical replaced in the user interface, yes. For a normal installation the behavior is ok, because the shipped map doesn't get deleted.
The problem is that if you use an other datadir the original map file get physically deleted. It is optical replaced, but if you delete the map in ~/.widelands/maps there is no possibility to get the original (shipped) map back.
