I've started work on a tabbed browser for MC.
It's only going to be using IE's renderer so it's not very complicated.
Maybe in the far distant future I'll write an interface so that any open renderer
can be used.
I just kinda bugged me that there wasn't a browser in MC, it just feels like
there should be one!
Heres a screen shot of what I've got it doing so far. (i'll update it as I go along..)

I'll probably make it a tad prettier in the future, I'm very much prototyping at the moment.
It would be really cool if plugins could be used in Theatre View as well as the main view,
then it could be used from there as well, I'd also like to move this out of the plugins
section when I've got to the point where I like using it.
One problem I'm having is capturing special keys such as Alt-left, Alt-Right, Alt - D, delete. It's possible that I won't be able to do anything about this,
as MC seems very active in pinching them!

It looks great, Mr. Chriz :)
I wonder if... maybe it would be possible to use your plug-in to customize a start page? exporting database information into it? a sort of a welcome page... something bewteen the amg start page and your last.fm personal page?
... maybe I'm just daydreaming :-\

Refactoring seems all good and clever till it deletes half your code >:(!
Seriously busy at the moment, so this ones gonna be a while.
If I get time and EZUpload.org comes back up soon I'll upload the
source code for where it is at the moment. Then if someone wants to
finish it off they can.
