Correct. If you want to add files fast, open the appropriate file (as mentioned in that wiki article) and add the file details.
Or you can wait and I'll add a FileBase() method to do that for you, but it won't exist in v3.19b. Opening and updating the .ini file will work for v3.19b and future versions.
