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.

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

For that to work you must have ment "uninstall then reimport"

@Boofo: Its not that, its just that I really cant be arsed with setting/editing cookies on the fly and sort out inconsistencies with expanded products and selected plugins, just so someone can avoid clicking the mouse once more

You can't be arsed? Sorry to hear that.

As in "couldn't be arsed" to test it
