That is why I thought about it. I'm often using this link and a even quicker-access would be great. But your 'safe to click space' would decrease indeed and that would be a big disadvantage. Right-click menu sounds great.

I've been thinking I may at some point add a right-click menu, in which case the forum link could be on that.[/QUOTE]

I had something in mind as a list of plugins by this user, or comments on this user. But for that, you should better link to a website of the user instead of the profile. Rethinking it makes it seem indeed a little useless.

Depending on a plugin that is part of Calibre and permanently enabled is one thing, depending on a user plugin is another.

Obviously over time the number of user plugins is growing and will hopefully continue to, so presumably the temptation/likelihood of cross plugin dependencies will increase. I will quite happily keep my head in the sand in the meantime though
Get deep enough and maybe you will find an old box of Londinium-coins and you will be rich
Valid remarks and in the future there should be a better way of dealing with this. I'm now thinking of creating a calibrex-library. Like Javax, a combination of often used methods / classes so it can be reused by other plugins (also causing calibre to start faster I think)
