# Plugin Manager Specification

The plugin manager allows plugins to be enabled/disabled.

The plugin manager allows plugins to be enabled or disabled. This is useful when Qtopia enters Safe Mode due to a misbehaving plugin and to selectively show/hide taskbar applets.

Status: BT

## Use Cases

- Taskbar Applets

  A user wants to disable applets to save space in the taskbar without removing them from the device.

- Disabling Misbehaving Plugins

  After installing a new plugin, the Qtopia system enters Safe Mode. The user must be able to disable the new plugin and restart Qtopia.

## Features

- Plugin list: a list view of all applets installed in the system. It must be possible to disable each plugin, unless it is a necessary system plugin.
- Plugin description: displays the currently selected plugin's description, if available.
- Restart: When in Safe Mode it must be possible to restart the system after disabling plugins.
