Disable Hierarchical Select Requirement

Issue Summary

I need this great module just for one reason:
I use content profile module and image field crop for the user avatar. For an easy way to display this avatar in forums, comments, etc.. nicely with the module imagecahce profiles, I just have to enable imagefield avatar, because this module automatically copys the content profile picture to the core profile picture.

I don't need any Hierarchical Select Modules. Is there any way to disable them? (For performance reasons)

HS gives us nice UI. Since this module is intended for non-developers I can't just throw it out. Is there a particular reason you want to remove it ?

#2

It's just for performance reason. I have to activate these two hierarchical modules, but i don't use them..
Perhaps anybody knows an easy patch for removing the requirement.

Please don't understand me wrong, I find the User Interface of Hierarchical Select also really nice, but I have no select or even multiple fields on my site. (I use imagefield crop module for just uplaoding ONE picture to the content profile..)

You can hack the info file and hope that it won't break (it shouldn't if you don't visit configuration page).

Same problem, HS is not usefull in my case and I prefer to disable it.
With my patch, is not required.
There's an indication to use it in the setting page if you prefer a better widget to select field.
If HS is enabled the module works like now.

The patch has many code style problems, like "else" on the same line, too many white space, etc.
