Wonderfull! Should absolutely be in there!

Yep that's definitely the kind of things which should be available.

There are various approaches:

• a configuration constant define(WP_LESS_COMPRESS, true);
• via WPLessPlugin proxy methods (like it's done with import dirs etc.)
• via WPLessConfiguration attribute

I even think the formatter should be the most readable one if WP_DEBUG is on.

I personally reel like a even better option would be to let a user set is an option through the admin interface. Could store it as a option value in the default DB or write it in the wp-config file on save.

@dhunink agreed; it's just not the fastest way to provide this feature at the moment. If you want to take over on the admin panel I won't say no ;-)

I create my settings pages mostly in like this:

How would you feel for something similar to that for the plugin? It isn't so hard to code actually. And we could wrap up more settings in there if desired.

Yeah it's perfect and straightforward enough :-)

+1 for compress / minify

from wp-less.

+1 for minify and +1 for define(WP_LESS_COMPRESS, true);

from wp-less.

-1 for WP_LESS_COMPRESS configuration madness, and -1 for option pages with a maintenance burden. As a consumer, simply do:

$less = WPLessPlugin::getInstance();
$less->getCompiler()->setFormatter('compressed');

But I do agree it should be the default formatter. Proposal for Plugin.class.php:

if (!defined('WP_DEBUG') || !WP_DEBUG) {
  $this->compiler->setFormatter('compressed');
}

IMHO, this plugin should do less (pun intended) and delegate more to the compiler.
