The latest version of FeedingIt has support for Woodchuck (woot!). FeedingIt, however, does not depend on Woodchuck. Thus, to profit from Woodchuck, the user must explicitly install it. Yves argued that some existing users have likely established a work flow and might not want Woodchuck. Okay, I can understand that even if I find it hard to believe . I think the more common case will be that users don't know that FeedingIt could use Woodchuck or even what Woodchuck is.

What do people here think?

- Should FeedingIt depend on Woodchuck?
- Should there be an option to disable Woodchuck in the settings dialog?
- If FeedingIt detects that Woodchuck is not installed, should it prompt the user to install it (e.g., "FeedingIt can use Woodchuck to automatically schedule downloads when there is good connectivity. Do you want to install it?" yes => open .install file.)?

Thanks for your feedback.
