Hi Stef,

Thanks for explanation! I agree and looking forward to see a new solution :)

Cheers,

Alex

Hi Aliak

The design of the UserManager was ****plain**** bad. It was reintroducing this ugly facade singleton pattern (monolitic and global)
��like the old�� Preferences class that we fight a lot with alain and finally replace by setting.
It was a mistake that I did not have the time to review the code. (BTW we were pushing too much code in the system without
a good review). Now this period is over.

The solution of the new approach should be the same than settings.

������ - first any part that should be user managed should do it locally and introduce its own hooks to do so
������ but be self-contained: exactly like Setting. A class uses class variables and check its class variables
������ when doing something.

������ - It means that as a client of the part I can change some accesses.

������ - then we decorate such user-managed hooks and provide tools.

Bloc is broken because UserManager is no longer in the image. (it was removed on 14th of August)

For some reason there is a check:

UserManager default canDropOSFile

this check is used in #dropFiles:��

What is alternative or does it make sense to remove the check?

Cheers,
