A Call for "Extend" Improvements

[mikeh]

MikeH: here is your api call that lists ALL files within Extend: http://get-simple.info/api/extend/all.php
shawn_a: I submitted an SVN patch for your suggestion. Great idea! http://code.google.com/p/get-simple-cms/...ail?id=266

Everyone else - Keep them coming. I will continue to work on some of the other suggestions listed above...

Awesome, in the plugin I will only make the api call if the user clicks on a refresh button.

Below are some more suggestions:
1. Could you return the description of the plugin?
2. A screenshot(s) field on the extend form.
This would be beneficial for plugins as well as themes.

For a plugin downloader plugin, there would be much less room for error if there was an 'installation level' field of some sort on the extend form. That way the script could adapt if a plugin installation required more then just placing files/folders in the plugins directory.
