1. It seems you've created your own version of the "create new package" dialog (with a nice icon!), perhaps based on existing upp code ??? - can't you submit this as a "third party tool" though? Why do you need theIde package dialog to change ??

2. I did notice a while ago the existing "create package" dialog was in danger of running out of room for extra checkboxes from user created templates.

...
3. Anyway, I admire your enthusiasm Smile

1a) Well, for even a "third party tool" there must be a mechanism(s) inside theide... Then, I don't want to duplicate the pieces of code which already present in teide. I want to use them. Maybe *.usc widgets would serve better for such "kind of pluggins" or extensions?

1b) Also, I don't like to have many clicks and starting-closing theide... with Assistant++ reading times (solution automated on/off?). I also support unodgs tabbed workspaces idea.

1c) My whole theide starts becoming like a "third party tool" Smile

but I don't want that! It adds headaches... I want kind of "Firefox" extensions and/or pluggins mechanism! I want an easy exchange between users contributions... Can C++ deliver that?

2. By writing "etc." in the topic name I had in mind that. And "danger of running out of room for extra checkboxes from user created templates" I regard as a bug... But thinking about the possible solutions drove me to the wider things I've written in this topic.

3. Thanks for your time and appreciation! I'm just looking for ways and trying to make U++ more useful for myself and other users and more attractive for wider public. I see
"templates-packages-creator-manager",
"templates-packages-tutorial", "templates-packages-snippets-database" -
things which can speed up learning and using not 4 times but 100's or 1000's.
