I've had requests for Category support, but I was wondering under what conditions would you suggest they be displayed?
In my case, I have 6,500 showcase entries with 33 possible categories. Currently, without using categories, pagination is easy.
If I was to support categories, then would the main showcase page simply be a list of the 33 categories, then clicking that will filter the list? What about using a simple select box to filter the list display? is that not "cool enough" these days?
I could use some suggestions on how to deal with categories. If the number of categories is low, how to fill the page without having just two records for instance (e.g. in classifieds, I have "For Sale" and "Wanted")
Important update. Version 2.2 is released and awaiting activation. Due to a recently publicized SQL vulnerability, it is advised that all users upgrade as soon as possible.
Additional changes are listed in the first post of this thread.
Upgrading should be painless. Deactivate (do NOT uninstall), upload the new package and activate the plugin. The plugin has included an automatic updater for several versions now, so all items that need to be upgraded should be taken care of during the activation.

Lost interest, sold my sites, will browse here once in a while. It's been fun.
