Hey, it's me :) Sorry for not reading the cvslog, but I'm bloated with
mails...

Great, I'll start looking at your code and try to help you with the
extended menus...

IMHO we should get the "extended" off the name. Since all menus are
these type now. I think we might change betweens various options of
menu  layouts, using DISPLAY to toggle between:
VIEW=ON/OFF
INFO=ON/OFF (also resize if VIEW is ON/OFF)
LISTING=ON/OFF (also resize if VIEW,INFO are OFF)

Really, DISPLAY should be a method array, calling each one:
display[0]=View.toggle_visibility()
display[1]=Info.toggle_visibility()
(more?)
and then call resize, based on other screen items... (how to do that in
a clean way?)

I agree with you

No, we should toggle between various layouts. as explained above.

Yes. But in this case we can disable only image...

I dunno. Maybe let the use choose between all of them it's a better
choice. Some people want to see just the text listing, others the icon
listing + info + view + ...

The problem will be how to tell the screen objects on how they should
resize themselves... before (2 state menu) it was easy, but we should
think about many layouts mode.
