 * I find this an excellent plugin – however, it would be more convenient to be 
   able to select the sidebar to be used in the actual post area – otherwise a separate/
   additional operation has to be carried out once the post is published – to select
   the desired sidebar for it.

 * Thanks for your feedback and suggestion, I am glad you can use the plugin!
 * I have had the same thought, however, I am not a big fan of forcing content to
   the post screen of other post types, among other things because this could mess
   with a certain setup that another plugin author had made for his post type.
 * I am not refusing that it will be implemented somehow some day though, it’s just
   not a priority right now.
 * If you want to show a sidebar with a certain group of posts before they’re even
   made, you could make it appear with e.g. all posts or just the ones that contain
   a specific category or specific term.
 * For hierarchical post types (e.g. pages) I’ve thought of an option for whether
   or not all children of a selected object should be included automaticly.

 * Dear Joachim. This feature would be very much appreciated (auto apply to children),
   since the authors and editors often create subpages (not level 1 pages) after
   the website is aired.
 * Any thoughts on this? Maybe a separate checkbox? Implementation should be doable
   using `get_ancestors()`.
 * Thank you in advance.

 * I haven’t really thought about it since my the last post, nor have I looked into
   if it is possible to implement in the plugin’s current design. Your description
   of it would be the easiest and most intuitive way to do it, yes.
 * As I now know that there is at least 1 person that wants this feature, I will
   have a look at it in one of the next few days when I have the time. Thanks for
   your feedback!
