Select only few Lists from Import to work on it
The User should be select only few Lists from a SharePoint Farm/Solution/Web and Import this to a Solution. Not the hole Solution at all. I many cases, we need only a DAO with one or some additional Lists to work on it, not just all.

Lars, this is definitely a good idea, thanks for the suggestion. I would split it into two separate features:
1. Let the user choose lists, content types, site columns to import into a data model.
2. Let the user choose lists and content types for which to generate DAO classes.I think feature (2) could be quite easy to implement. Regarding (1), this is possible as well, but will need some internal enhancements which we are working on to support some other features. Basically, to achieve just a partial import, we need to make sure the data model is consistent: in other words, check that e.g. no lookup field of a list is pointing to a list the user has chosen not to import. Of course, it's not that hard to check it, and those internal adjustments which are already in the development pipeline, will make such feature possible.
