Hi,

KOpenBabel is a graphical interface to Open Babel. It permits the conversion 
of chemical files (more than 70 file formats are supported).
KOpenBabel is divided in three parts:
- KOpenBabel3: a KDE3 interface
- KOpenBabel4: a KDE4 interface
- QOpenBabel: a Qt4 interface

KOpenBabel3 and QOpenBabel are the most advanced projects. Translastions are 
available in french and german. All basic features are working (file 
conversion, format guessing). All packages are released under the GNU Public 
License.

QOpenBabel has been successfully compiled on Microsoft Windows XP. The 
compilation on Mac OS X must be also possible, but no test has been done.

You can find further details about this project on:
http://kopenbabel.sourceforge.net/

Here's also an interesting hack for KDE:
Place in your konqueror/servicemenus directory the 
file "chemical-cml-convert.desktop":
[Desktop Entry]
 Encoding=UTF-8
 ServiceTypes=chemical/x-cml
 Actions=Convert

 [Desktop Action Convert]
 Name=Convert chemical file
 Exec=kopenbabel
 Icon=background

This permits you to directly add a new item "Convert chemical file" in the 
Actions menu when you right-click on a CML file.

Cheers,

Jerome Pansanel
