Comment(by alexbruy):

 Replying to [comment:8 lutra]:
 > By the way, why having the same tool as 3rd party plugin and as core
 tool in the vector menu?
 Ok, we developed this plugin as patch for fTools and submit it. But patch
 was not being applied for a long time, so we decide to release it as
 separate plugin. Later patch was applied, but we added to plugin some new
 features (e.g option to select individual files).

 Now this is unnecessary, because all features was ported to the fTools
 during hackfest. I think that separate plugin can be useful for those who
 use older QGIS without this functionality in fTools.
