I'll keep it in mind, but it seems it needs the full "Useful File Utilities" installation to make it work as a plugin. UFU is about 1.3 MB without plugins, and costs USD30 (currently about AUD40) which is a bit more than I'm happy to pay in this case -- unless UFU itself is a "must have" (and I don't know anyone who has got it 8-).
