ooh , IDE Extensions you say :)
I like the sound of that.

Don't worry about infection. just add an isolation switch (disable all
extensions) so we can determine if bugs still exists without the extensions
running.

list any loaded extensions in the system information dialog so you can see
if any are being used and tell people,, disable the extensions and see if
bug persists.

I like it when i can remove my modifications from the ide. like i did
yesterday. for some time now my ide has shown sh highlighting for sh files
but now my modification can go as you've done it too :)

Maybe one day i can use gambas master and all my mods can be extensions.
(hehe, probably not though as i've made a fair few tweaks :) )

Sounds like a great idea though, cheers, it will be interesting to see how
you put in into action :)
