 * Hi,
 * Thank you for a great plugin.
 * I have two questions:
 * 1: I would like to show all categories from the beginning [like this](http://historielaerer.dk/linkbibliotek/?catletter)
 * But when visitors click the page from ‘most viewed’ they only get first category
   because ‘/?catletter’ is missing from the link. How can I show all categories
   at once?
 * 2: I am optimizing Javascripts, – which .js are you using to ‘unfold’ links in
   the categorys, in other words , which .js should be excluded from compression?
 * Thanks,
 * Lars

 * 1. Can you export your library options and send them to me? I am unsure of what
   configuration combination is causing this behaviour? you can export your settings
   from the Import / Export tab of library settings.
 * 2. The javascript for the unfolding is not in a separate js file. It is inline
   in the page content.

 * Ah, now I see. Here is the problem:
 * In the Common tab of Library Settings, you configured “Display Alphabetic Cat
   filter” to “Before Categories”. That being said, you are not displaying a list
   of categories on your site before the links (using the [link-library-cats] shortcode).
   So you are not seeing the alphabetic category filter, but still getting the effects
   of it.
 * If you set “Display alphabetic cat filter” to “Do not display”, you will see 
   all categories. Please give this a try and see if it resolves your issue and 
   please consider donating to support this plugin’s development.

 * Hello Yannick,
 * Thanks for your help – I followed your advice and all of my categories are now
   showing from front end.
 * Btw – how big are the largest libraries built with your plugin? I use it for 
   a history teacher association – and we can find a zillion links on many subjects–
   what is the limit?

 * There is really no limit to how large a libraries can be. That being said, if
   you display all links from all categories on one page, you may eventually find
   that this page takes a long time to display as your library grows.
 * This is where there are tools like being to display a single library at a time
   or pagination to split results onto multiple pages, to help split links into 
   more manageable chunks to display.
