The original intention of QE was to allow the user to manually fix
a couple of bars and to allow to add artificial quote for the future
if she/he wanted to see how given indicator would behave.

You have almost answered your own question: the downloader is a separate program.
Exactly. And it behaves as separate program so you switch it by task bar.
Quote Editor in AmiBroker is integral part of AB and is implemented as dialog
within AB's main frame window. The same way every other windows applicaiton behaves.
You want me to make QE behaving like separate application: well it would be possible
if it is made separate from AB (or by implementing a 'hack' to standard behaviour of Windows).
Although possible I am a little bit reluctant to do so because of breaking standards.

Well you may ignore all that Microsoft had said about user interface but
standards in my private opinion are good. Could you imagine the mess when
every application got its "File" menu somewhere else ?
Please understand my point of view - every non-standard solution causes lots
of confusion -> support issues, etc.
What I think is that we should not be discussing QE but should be looking for some
Japanese data vendor that can be somehow interfaced with AB. Maybe via script or something.
I really belive that there must be a way to get your data without the need to make you
typing the quotes. Once done, you will forget about QE at all.
By the way eSignal recently added Australian (ASX) and New Zealand RT quotes
as they promised more than year ago, so maybe support for Japan stock exchange is not that far.
Once again: really there must be some data vendor in Japan that will allow to interface
some 3rd party app. (I would investigate it myself if only I could read Japanese :-O)
