Yes, by "both" I mean I check one box in the Import tab, and 2 things show up. I select one extension, and the 2 extensions defined against that particular interface show up.
I haven't done it yet, but I suspect when I add a third, all 3 will appear :) Ah ok ... Thanks for the explanation re: "active site configuration". From what you say, I think the behavior I'd expected was that switching profiles would change what is listed in Import in that only the things related to that profile can be imported. So if my extension defines one import step, I switch to that active configuration, go to the import tab, and see ONE import step, NOT a cumulated list. Once this is done, I can go back to my site profile, and see that the Import/Export tabs now have a new item. At least that's how, I as as user expected it to work. Switching profiles and always seeing a big list of things that I know have nothing to do with the selected profile, is counter intuitive IMO. Anyways, back to the original problem, I just want to make sure the intent is to have the ability to add extentions after the creation of a site. So long as the answer is yes, I can live with that for now, knowing I can develop certain things as extensions. I can help track down the bug later, right now I'm still focused on core functionality. Thanks!

That sounds strange. > Also related, what exactly is meant by "active site configuration" anyways? "active site configuration" is the profile used by the import tab. But the import tab shows *all* registered handlers, not just those useful for the "active site configuration". If you run the steps each step looks for related configuration files in the "active site configuration" and if it can't find them it does nothing. Switching to a new "active site configuration" also registers the import and export handlers specified in the profile. That way you can register new handlers for export without overriding your site settings by an import. I'm not happy with the setup tool and its user interface. It is still almost the same as in CMF 1.5, all the work done on GenericSetup was focused on improving the setup handlers.
