Allow plugins to crash but keep TC stable "Plugin container"

[hi5]

I'm no programmer so this is just more of an observation than a proper suggestion:

when a plugin crashes, TC crashes with it. You don't loose data a such, but you have to start TC + navigate back to where you were.

I recall in the past addons in firefox could make it crash (often flash) and at some point mozilla introduced "a plugin container" which "caught the crash" but kept firefox running.

Perhaps something similar should be introduced to TC so that TC becomes more stable, informs the user "plugin XYZ" has crashed, and perhaps even introduce a bit of a report/logging which can help the plugin developer to fix it.

Just a thought. No doubt quite a task should it even be possible.

No idea how difficult or complex it would be to implement such a feature, but I think it's possible somehow.

One thing I'm pretty sure of is that retrieving data from plugins will get slower with this approach - maybe even much slower. This might not matter for every plugin or plugin type, but it definitely does for Content and File-system plugins, IMO.
