Congratulations, Diego!

Although this plugin really wants to change the way I work nogmally, I 
really like it! Especially the 'Recent Documents'...

Maybe an idea for the future: Add the right-click options to removable 
media to have easy access to 'unmount' or 'eject' options. (makes the 
volman-plugin somewhat obsolete)

Loving it!
