A minor detail, but I sometimes use this module mid-stream on a project that already has distinct themes for the front/backend for which the form this module generates isn't well suited. It's also a bit odd that the link gets tossed into the navigation menu by default.

This is a hangover from the D5 (or pre-D5) days when modules put all sorts of items in the navigation menu.

I'm not going to put it as a top-level item under admin though -- I for one find it quite annoying and presumptious of modules to do that. We can probably go under admin/build on 6; I will have a ponder of the new categories on 7 (though as I've yet to build a UI for 7...)

You do know about not using this module on production sites, though? ;)

Okiedoke :) Of course I don't use this on production sites, but I tend to install it mid-stream on a project sometimes after realizing I need to write a simple tweaks module. Love the work, it's saved me tons of time!

I figured I would update the patch accordingly. I like the idea of this module and will probably be using it frequently to create quick modules.

I'll second this idea. Great module but it took me ages to find the link to it the first time I used it!

Cheers,
