ND EditorSwitch
This is a good addition to the administrative interface.

One problem relates to WysiwygPro. It has additional plugins that are necessary to operate the editor but aren't used day-to-day. The drop down menu lists everything, including the "DO NOT USE" plugins.

The issue does not occur for TinyMCE or JCE.

Other than the WysiwygPro annoyance, this is a good component.
Owner's reply

Sorry, we don't have WysiwygPro here to verify, but it seems more an editor misuse of the Joomla framework than a bug of our component.

They use an human readable string ("DO NOT USE") in the element title to let users never choose their plugins... but this is not the right way of working!

This is how we get the list of the editors: "SELECT element,name FROM #__plugins WHERE folder = 'editors' AND published = 1"... exactly in the same way used by the Joomla API to find the list of the editors...

Letterman Newsletter
The solid construction and simplicity is a real plus for Letterman. We need more features, but we will cope in the meantime. Let's hope the developers continue improving the component with additional features.
