Yes!

Yes! Good short names, always a problem in programming. The report tool called
from toolbar could include an image. The top entry in the report menu could be
this tool. I think many users don't know the toolbar button, and have never
pressed on it.

Indeed.

Something else, we have some unsupported plugins, they should fit in any new
categories created.
Eg, I wrote something that generates a kml file usable in eg google 
earth. This
is in code generators. Code generators is a bad name, but we need a category
for these reports that write out a file (file.dot, file.kml, ...) with the
intention of being processed by another application (even if we can do this
processing on the fly in the background).
However, please don't break the code registration api to much :-)
