Wouldn't that require that every plugin is loaded and an initialisation function executed when Rockbox is started? Surly once you have a lot of rocks, this would be slow? I suppose another way around it would be to have a text file (in a format not dissimilar to Windows INI, but diffrent in structure. I'm sure you see what I mean) that each rock could add to if they wanted to be added into the menu, but that would take away the easy installing of rocks which we have at the moment.

Or am I missing something or not thinking of all the possible solutions?
