Thank you for speaking your mind and explaining the intended scope for your application. I speak my mind in turn and explain the foundations of my suggestions: In the eighties I've choosen the philosophy underlying UNIX and IP as my professional basis: Build small versatile tools, interoperable by common open protocols and formats, and create quickly solutions from this as new problems turn up. IMHO this is the most successful computational philosophy so far, which – against all odds – made unixoid systems dominant in the server world. X11-based GUI, especially KDE, were long following this philosophy and actually, IMHO, there was a window of a few years, where they might have become significant on the desktop, too. Alas, GNOME and KDE, IMHO departed from this philosophy … In your application I saw potential to increase versatility – but if this is not your cup of tea, this is OK with me and, as promised, I stop proposing this idea. Thank your for your work and time so far! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
