Well, in xfce we've never followed the approach of avoid

Even though I agree we shouldn't just keep everything basic because of
the fear to create something complex, I also think that having a VFS
layer at the file-manager isn't a good idea, just because of the fact
that having a VFS layer that only the file-manager can use is

I think the argument of supporting additional information like

Hey all
A short question about usability: will the plugin install method be
similar to that of firefox's?
With a checker on the background that checks for updates and so on?
I think this would be a nice step forwards, but I don't know if this

Right now I don't see the need to implement such a feature in Thunar.
Xfce 4.4 will include a much improved InstallIt, which will be able to
do this (and much more), so why duplicate the functionality in the file
