I use this module just like it's supposed: to get rid of the large administration menu for certain content types. But I would like to suggest a new feature that would help users that are less tech-savy when adding content to a website.

Users sometimes forget to fill the menu settings which results (logically) in a page that is not in a menu and get confused. When the menu settings would be expanded, the fields are more visible and the change that it would be forgotten is smaller and thus more user friendly (I guess).

Is it possible to build something like this? If you give some directions maybe I could give a hand with some coding?

It could be done,
with a custom module.
Use Hook_form_later.
Set the menu fieldset to expanded by default.

I might have to do something similar - and I'll post code here if I do.
