Add ability to connect to a local debug (using samp_debug.exe):

I think it would be great feature to make samp_debug.exe at least more usable when there will be some nice frontend from open.mp launcher for it, something like "developer options -> connect to a local debug" from neat GUI dialog. As additional options there can be player position input box before you'll join and maybe something more, if it can also be configured in advance.

Add ability to manage a server without actually connecting (using rcon.exe):

Another interesting feature would be to integrate rcon.exe into frontend to be able to call it with all needed parameters when clicking on some server and selecting something like "connect as remote admin" or "manage as rcon admin". Some GUI dialog could ask you for rcon password first (if it still wasn't entered and saved before for this selected server) and then connect to it as remote rcon admin.

Both of features are mainly for server developers and barely huge amount of people use rcon or debug something with a debug tool today, but still it's a part of samp client and an attempt to make these things easier to use will probably bring some results, also opening up the prospect of smoothly replacing these things with something more modern when the client comes to release.

Btw, both options could also be visible only if some global "flag" was enabled in the settings (like toggle "server developer options" on/off). A flag may be saved between sessions for everyone who enabled it, but disabled by default for regular players.
