That would be a cool thing, but I don't think it would make sense as a plug-in.
There's been discussion of having a protocol for dragging parts between L-CAD
applications, it would be cool to have an "LD Palette" program which displayed
all the remaining parts, which you could then drag onto MLCAD. As you dragged
the parts, they would disappear from "LD Palette".
