Hi!
I dis not yet see how the lua can get parameters from the gui. As far as I
understood it, I could add a keyboard hook, but not read in anything
interactively (e.g. by a dialogue or module-like interface).
Concerning the connection of file names: this is just not stable in an archival
context. Imagine a time span of years. Wrt archival I think along the lines of
the OAIS framework.
