what's wrong with m_model->package()?

the point is that they should never have to worry about where the files are=
=2E=20
it's an implementation detail. and polluting the home dir with working data=
=20
sets is not great form.

i added the first support for those 2 weeks ago, so it's not a mystery why =
you=20
didn't find anything on it ;) i (or someone) still needs to do some binding=
s=20
for Service as well so such dataengines can reimplement serviceForSource=20
sanely.

please don't hide buttons because they don't work. that's what you do for=20
final release only if you don't manage to get them working in the meantime,=
=20
but hiding them during development is an awesome way to ensure they never g=

implemented. this is the out of sight, out of mind principle.

and yes, it's possible to write runners with ecma script. as soon as it's=20
possible to write something useful with plasmate, i'll do up some examples=
=20
using it. ;)
