Hi James, glad to hear the plugin is getting put to good use.
We are due to have a telecom with the BASE dev team on the 26th and we are then going to decide about the future of this plugin, among other things. It is well possible that we will turn it into something a lot more fancy and there has even been talk of merging it with the Tab2MAGE plugin that EBI are working on so that we can have an all-singing, all-dancing import of everything people want to attach to an experiment (including the data, obviously). I'll certainly add your request to the list but things won't happen in a hurry for now -- we need to have this strategy meeting for now.
