I'm pretty much in agreement with Chip on all of this. Even I'd
need to study the API to review it. We're not plugin reviewers;
we're theme reviewers. Part of what we have to do is look at what
we as theme reviewers can realistically review.<br>
<br>
I think this would make for an awesome plugin. I somewhat see the
argument for bundling it in a theme (it's helpful), but it's much
better suited as a plugin. I'd even promote it to my theme users if
I felt like the code was good.<div><div><br>

<div>But <a href="http://themes.svn.wordpress.org/epic/1.1.1/includes/theme-options.php" target="_blank">looking
at that functionality</a>: wow, that would make a really
awesome Plugin. It basically would let users create a Child
Theme using the currently active Theme as its template (Parent
Theme).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>IMHO, that's Plugin territory. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And also: I really don't like the idea of asking Theme
reviewers also to have to be Plugin reviewers.. I question
whether it is reasonable to ask a *Theme* reviewer to have to
understand not only the WordPress template system, but *also*
the Filesystem API, in order to review that Theme properly?
There are very few reviewers competent to conduct such a
review (and while I'm pretty sure I could get through it, I
would have to go back into the Filesystem API docs to be sure;
it's certainly not inherent). Otto could conduct that review
without research. Justin might be able to. A few others (who
do both Plugin and Theme development) could. But the vast
majority?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just my thoughts...</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am reviewing one theme and they give one
section call <b>"One-Click Child Themes" </b>in
theme option. using that setting i can create
child theme by providing name. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will create that name directory in
wp-content theme directory and create 3 files</div>
<div>1. style.css</div>
<div>2. screenshoot.png</div>
<div>3. function.php</div>
