Page manager show open files but I would guess to show hierarchy would be a good idea.

No not to draw them but the new symbols will not show up on the list until restarted unless refresh which I have missed below is used.

I have missed this.

I draw an ordinary net or bus for a cable with several strands. Schematics below I feed to gschemlist but not the top level connecting circuit boards. I use it just for visualization but with proper attributes and gnetlist backend I guess it would be possible to get useful output for manufacturing of cables, I have however never done this kind of cable drawings.
