Having 50+ plugins in your Plugin Management page doesn’t make things fast when you want to find a particular plugin to de/activate or edit it, or when you want to quickly find the ones that are outdated and need an update.
Enhancements
Better Plugin Page brings simple yet valuable enhancement to your Plugins page:
Tiny icons (from famfamfam of course) to emphasize plugin status and quick action links. Less clutter, more information.
Quick filters to find more easily the plugin you’re looking for. Want to deactivate one? Start by hiding all the active plugins. Want to update them? Hide those that are up to date (simple filtering system, you’ll get unexpected results if you try to combine filters)
Sliding mini list of all your plugins if scrolling all the way down is too tiring for your abused finger.

Great plugin and I’m glad somebody has begun to address the clutter issue on the plugin page. Something’s got to be done!
I’ll be using your plugin until my dream plugin comes along (I’d do it myself if I could). I’d really like to see somebody come up with an integration of sortable table columns perhaps using the tablesorter script (see tablesorter dot com). This would allow all plugins to remain on the page but sorted say by activity to allow you to deal visually with one set or another quickly.
I’ve thought about two separate tables, one for active and one for inactive plugins but this seems like overkill.

Matt » I don’t think this would be as efficient as filtering out lines (at least for me with 80+ plugins). Sorting 80 plugins to see which is running and which is not would be a lot messier than simply hiding 60 inactive plugins to see 20 running.
This said, on WordPress 2.6 there will be 2 tables, one for running and one for inactive (which, to be honest, sucks)

Hah, finally, ’cause I don’t know how much plugins I use :D

by the way, when other script and web says I’m from Indonesia, your plugin says I’m from New Zealand (or is it Australia?). Not using any HTTP tunnel, I wonder why…

Very nice plugin! Definitely adds needed functionality to the plugin admin page.
I would just like to add in my support to making the filters work together (active/inactive, up-to-date/update-available), which would make the plugin even *more* powerful/useful.
Thanks again, Ozh, for all of your fantastic plugin work!
