OK. (It's currently work in progress, temporarily suspended for a
rewrite of the mcs-plugin).

That will be an option for the mcs-plugin, so that you will be able to
set it from the mcs-manager.

Point taken.

Point taken.

Actually, the stop button should be active, and (in theory) the mount
command can be zapped if it get's stuck (it's a separate process)
returning control to xffm.

I'm supposing that you mean the diagnostics window. Why would you want
to write there? You can drag and drop to it or use button 2 to make the
full path of any file be written to it.

The popup menus are scheduled for a remake, but after SMB stuff is fully
functional since this needs to be taken into account for the final popup
menu system.

Actually, it does use MIME-types for icons (but the format is XML). In
the future the program registration module (see xffm/libs/reg.c) will be
replaced by a MIME-types, also in XML. This will probably take a while
to happen, unless someone steps in to contribute time and code...
