I fail to see the need for this "feature" when what you seek is a mere few clicks away to begin with.
For instance- I could format harddrive through CMD. With the emergence of thumb drives, I would think more people just right click on the icon and click 'format'.
2 ways to do one thing, Yet people do use the newer way to format (unless making a bootable drive). I think this is because a) it is easier and b) new devices made the change sensible.
Consider any new UI in the last 5 years- everyone is moving to tabs and icons. Its the same way to do something, but people eat it up. I am not saying "conform! be like everyone else!", but it does seem like simple moves like this are appreciated by people as a whole.
If it is too hard to implement, fine. But if it is not- why not try it and see if it is used? Log the click-throughs.
As a side note- I hate it when people say 'x is too difficult, make it easier so I can understand'. I can understand the sentiment of 'nut up Max, its one more click'. *But*, when I am out on the road, with my phone or slow netbook, waiting for an additional page to load sucks.
From your comments, I see that your mind is made up, so there is little else I can say. I have seen this feature implemented on other forums, and it is very handy. So my question is, what is the detriment?
It seems like a suggestion box should be approached with 'why not', instead of 'why would we need to do that, its working fine'. Looking at other suggestions, I see this is the common approach here. I feel that if the mods explained why we couldn't make suggested changes, it would be much more constructive.
