Yes, it is generic idea because visual programming (icons + wires) is used everywhere. I planned that our editor would support specially audio related applications: Nord Modular type, Reaktor type, and simpler type editors. Graphics related editor for, e.g., Cinepaint would be much simpler than Nord Modular type editor. The editor would only give the graphical graph/dataflow editor: icons + wires, subgraphs, export/import. People still would have to write software to give meaning to the graph/dataflow. I find it very difficult to code the graphical editors and other GUIs. Mostly I write C code without GUI. Now if there already would be a generic editor available, I would take one and write suitable callbacks, and have the GUI in a few hours. Glade, a GUI builder, can help but it fails badly for what really would be usable. They should go a far beyond the widget level. Note, we do have such graph editors (in PD, in Quasimodo, etc.) but the problem is that they are limited to some particular concept. I want use all concepts in the same editor. Regards, Juhana
