Re: [Plog-general] New class "adminlistvalues"

[Oscar R. <os...@re...>]

Hi!

Many thanks for the add-ons! I'll have a look at them later on since I've 
been/I still am quite busy moving to a new place and so on... I just got the 
cable connection up and running ;)

I like the idea of your changes. I should probably do something similar to 
what you've done but with plugins, since so far, with the current 
implementatnio, what we do is scan the disk every time and that takes time 
and resources... 

Regards,

Oscar.
