Yes, good question. I copied that part of code from ExtToolDialog. There was a limit defined as MaxExtTools = ecExtToolLast-ecExtToolFirst+1; The constants are in IDECommands unit and apparently needed for all main menu actions. So, I didn't think of it much at that point but just made the code compilable.

I understand there have been efforts to simplify it. If the profiles pane is visible all the time, does it bother you "super- users"? It can be made hidden by choice but then the GUI needs to designed little differently again.
