Hi David,

I forgot this email, I was not at home at that time.

What you propose suggests a new mechanism -- modifying how we
understand files. Kupfer could have one central file indexer, and
plugins would modify it by supplying parts to understand vCard files
as contents for example. It's a pretty big/new idea but it would be
interesting to explore.

Right now, Karol has some patches to supply plugins with the
possibility of a custom settings dialog -- so with that, this plugin
could have its own directory configuration.
