Extensions and Limitations

Early on, it was recognized that Catfiles get big fast. Thus, it makes sense to remove any fluff from the records associated with each and every file. However, this ``fluff'' might not be perceived as useless in some contexts. Tradeoffs are in order here. Rather than attempt to add any un-needed data to the output records at the outset, MenuCat is intended to grow and develop according to user demand. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the user to suggest improvements and extensions to MenuCat.

Since this exposes the user's entire software assets to MenuCat, it is the user's responsibility to verify that MenuCat is performing correctly. The user must realize that running MenuCat exposes the user's entire software assets to some element of risk. Pretty grim stuff, but MenuCat or a program like it could be the carrier of an EXTREMELY virulent software plague.
