Hi Christian,

that's O.K. don't invest that many time here. I have never been the biggest
fan of the effort to build the flexform based selection into the
kickstarter. On the one hand it's a nice feature for a few projects, on the
other it makes the usage more complex for most others. 

You know that I have removed the switching controller even from efaq early,
where it would be useful because of the many plugins in it. But I didn't
want people confuse programmers with this complex setup. It's a nice
feature, but it requires to much explantion.

It is usefull, when you have a lot of differnt plugins in one project and
you don't want to spoil the main plugin select with to many entries. This
is either the case for a bigger public extension like efaq of for big
commercial projects. For the multitude of small extensions it is rather
confusing. 

If an agency really want's to have that feature, they could pay you for
implementation. For the mainstream and the success of T3 and lib/div in
general it is  IMHO not that important.

Enjoy the last days of the summer :-)

Regards

Elmar
