My initial version was incorporated in the core and then moved to a plugin because we agreed that this funtionality is not used on a regular base and using plugins as an overlay system seemed like a good idea to save space. When using dircache, it causes an unneeded disk spinup but that's a small price to pay imho. > I can prepare a patch to "disconnect" the plugins from > the menus, except for "shortcuts", which looks like a work in > progress. I'm sure that any patch that greatly increases core size will be rejected with pleasure ;) If otoh you have suggestions for other rarely used stuff to be moved to a plugin, please say so :) Peter
