Hi,

I recently discovered the optional 'Places' module for Enlightenment and I really like it. It seems most projects deploying Enlightenment as installable Live Media are depending on outside File Managers (Thunar seems to be the first pick) and Places makes this much easier to consolidate most functions and mounting of removable Media without confusing the User with multiple FM's. I have done a bit of cosmetic changes to Places because with Dark themes the eject Icon was not very visible and I thought the Home and Module Icons should match but that's just an opinion..

A mild annoyance is the need to version-match the module with every Enlightenment update but I would guess there is some wisdom in this that I'm not aware of but in any case I think Places should just be part of the main DE release (I believe Bodhi already does this) instead of kept secret in a dark attic. It serves a valuable use and definitely opens up E to more intuitive usage with other FM's. I know we have EFM2 in the works but in the meantime Places would be a useful module to come in a standard install.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?
