For example, a user wanted me to make Lancelot's Favourites (could also be 
applied to Raptor and Kickoff and ...) dependent on the current activity which 
is (IMHO) an awesome idea. The same goes for the places in the file

Also agree, especially since data-engines can be loaded in separate 
applications.

That's true, though it would be a completely different project.
