Well, i thought i expressed myself clearly: it is possible to implement
this switch option and with very few overhead handle the modification. 

but i am not going to implment it as it was neither my idea to make the
plugin more graphically nor does it fit my needs/wishes as a user, so i
encourage stefan to implement all that stuff, but on base of 0.5.1, and
become another project maintainer.

but let's see what stefan has in mind... ;)
