(B> Hello!
(B>
(B> I've been experimenting with some code.. I want to build a kind of
(B> framework that allows me to be working more naturally with a computer.
(B>
(B> Look at http://thies061.speed.planet.nl/libura/e/mockup/libura_Ecalc.png
(B>
(B> You'll see their a spreadsheet. Look at it if it was just a piece of
(B> paper you have put on your desk. Depending on what you are currently use
(B> the paper for and what types of data you are working on, the e17 main
(B> menu should include the types of option that you need. The paper could
(B> as easily be a word document:
(B> http://thies061.speed.planet.nl/libura/e/mockup/libura_Ewriter.png
(B> A PDF, a 3D environment a webpage or whatever.
(B>
(B> So I need to develop a way that includes dynamic changing of the e17
(B> menu based on the type of paper currently and the specific types of data
(B> that has the focus. This way ( i think) could lead to a more elegant en
(B> more natural way of viewing and working with applications in computing
(B> environments. That is.. you roll a new piece of paper to your desktop en
(B> specify what it should be: a letter, a presentation, a picture, a
(B> message, a collection of financial records, a movie etc..
(B>
(B> Any comments? Or suggestions? Or you think it's as stupid as hell. ;)

(Bno - it's not such a bad idea - mind you, it's not going to be very popular
(Bamongst the existing developer/user base :) they like having 5 or 10 windows
(Bup... and switching. but i can see big merits in your idea. right now e17 isn't
(Bready for it - but later i want to start having pluggable "mdi" modules that
(Bdetermine how to handle apps and layouts - maybe always have 1 "main app"
(Bfocused, with a "Secondary info" app (eg your mp3 player) on an edge/corner of
(Bthe screen. the idea is this would lend itself well to system with limited
(Bresolution and resources (eg embedded devices like pda's, phones etc.). where
(Balso your main way of input may ONLY be a keypad and no mouse/touchscreen.
(B
(Banyway - thought about it and have just put it aside for now - also you are
(Blooking at a document centric model where you either choose an existing
(Bfile/document you have to work on/read or you create a new one (a new image, new
(Btext document, new code project, new e-mail etc.). which i have to say works
(Bvery well for limited purpose devices :) for a pc it may be a little limiting
(Bthough :)
