Hello list!

Since Phil is currently coding on the patcher I decided to work on 
something different:
coding a extensible-browser (most of the skeletton is already done) that 
will support the following features:
- show nova-objects installed with info (nearly done (hey, i am still 
new to all that python stuff and the nova-code :) )
- show known patches, with additional tagging and a list of recently 
opened and saved ones (in progress (needs a db))

planned:
- simple file browser to allow importing new data to the various 
browser-"handlers"
- show known samples with additional info like playtime etc and 
additional tagging
- project browser for easy patch&referenced samples/general 
objects-handling and info about the used nova-objects+editing the names
(eg. for dynamic patching) & project specific actions (more below)
- repository browser for importing patches from a remote repository to 
the local library
- extensible search function to search patches/samples etc.
- nova-browser object(s) that outputs specific messages accordingly to 
their gui events:
eg. the sample browser would just output a message with the file-path to 
the currently selected sample+bang when the sample should be 
played/stoped+simple volume float. messages can be stored in the 
action-browser like [store "name" message-content(-[browser.action]
- action browser that allows storing such messages, retrieving&editing 
them and sending them through the [browser.action] when clicked

I check out the drag&drop stuff in qt soon, so I hope one can add 
objects/subpatches by just drag&dropping them on the canvas or later, 
message objects (for paths).

I'll try to make the browser not mandatory for running nova_gui. looking 
at my current schedule the development will take some time
because I am busy with uni+music, so don't expect dramatic 
changes/progress too soon.

Is that ok with you guys?

so long...
Niklas
