Advanced Plugin Manager - Reloaded

Advanced Plugin Manager - Reloaded v2.6

The original Advanced Plugin Manager was written by KirbyDE (found here). He expressed that this was not a release he intended to make into a full-fledged mod, and it also contained some bugs.
When I first saw the thread over at vB.com posted by Live Wire, he had photoshopped the Template Manager to indicate how Products and Plugins could work with this interface. I quite liked the idea, so I decided to make it so.
A week and one permission from Kirby later, I can present to you this Extension.

Features:

• Mimicks the Template Manager in pretty much every sense
• "Flag" Plugins for export/deletion
• Remembers the expanded products indefinetely
• Remembers the "flagged" plugins indefinetely
• Automatically de-flags plugins when they have been exported/deleted.
• Plugins that are subject to a disabled Product are marked as disabled themselves at runtime. Their TRUE state (as stored in the database) remains untouched.
• Mass deletion of "flagged" plugins
• Mass export of "flagged" plugins
• Working "Save & Reload" button (Credits to Kirby for fixing it)
• Shortcut to "Add / Import Product"
• Fully phrased
• NO Code Modifications needed!

Note:
This Extension will require page reloads for pretty much all its actions, as the Template Manager does. If you do not like this, please use Kirby's version.
Kirby does in no way support this version, nor do I support his.
Important! You need to uninstall Kirby's version before installing mine, should you choose my version.

Screenshots attached in 2nd post.

Install instructions:

1. Click install (you want your precious support, don't you? ).
2. Upload the files.
3. Import the Product XML file through your ACP.
4. Enjoy.

Upgrade instructions:

1. Upload all files again.
2. Import new product XML.
3. Enjoy the improvements.

If you can make it so it always remembers the last expanded product and selected plugin i'll love this Hack.
(Otherwise I'll hate it )

And just for the record, its not a carriage return per se. It is IE parsing a <select> in such a way that things that do not have a <optgroup> automatically gets space seperated from those that do. I cant speak for Opera but Firefox doesn't have this behaviour.

In my original screenshot (and Paul's for that matter) there weren't any products expanded, yet those spaces are still there...

Not after you upload the new admincp file, they arent.

Thanks, looks great now. Any chance of telling us how to make it so double-clicking a product expands it, instead of editing it?

2. I thought of this too, but then again the templates don't allow you to edit Template Groups. It just takes some getting used to, but I would rather want to be consistent (double click = edit) than follow the Template Manager slavically.

Very nice!

Ugh, hassle++

Edit: Done. Im not bothering with that last selected plugin thingy, you can move your mouse and click the button once, Kirby dont be a lazy sod XD

XML reimport not really needed, I just put it there so the Product version number can be updated

Now you tell us! Just an FYI if any one really cares, you can disable this plug in, upload the new XML, and the re-enable the product.

@Revan, I actually thought I would like Kirby's better but you got me hooked! Thanks for the great plug-in.
