Version 1.28 now out
Upgrade notes: Conversations - Replaced "Return to conversation?" checkbox with "When finished" popup - please update your conversations
It's a bit of a compromise on both sides - on the one hand, you want to be able to view and quickly edit individual dialogue options and trees, but on the other, I don't want the core conversation code to change and hence mess up people's already painstakingly-laid out work
The way this editor works is: you click on a conversation in your scene, and the window displays that conversation's dialogue options. You can click on the "Interaction" boxes to quickly select each ActionList - yet the Conversation window remains the way it is. The one change you will have to make when upgrading is to set the new When finished variable. This replaces the current Return to conversation? checkbox, giving you the extra option to run a new Conversation (without the need to run a Run Conversation Action).
Clicking on the new Conversation box (to the right of the screenshot) makes that the new active one in the editor, but the last-selected one appears as a "quick-select" button, making it easy to go back-and-forth. It's not quite nested trees-within-trees, but I've tested it out and it's still a lot easier to make sub-conversations.

This might be easy to fix, but it's a bit of a showstopper. Expect an official fix shortly.
As it is though I feel it's not very useful. To see only the first options of every conversation kinda defeats the purpose. If anything it would be handy if we could "Toggle on" the options of the next conversation, so we can see all the ramifications in the same screen.
Just my suggestion.
