Launchable databases... what's the 'correct' way?

[Alan Pinstein]

Hi all-

I am allowing users to tap on database icons to launch them in a new version of Launch 'Em. Since no apps (besides pqa's) currently have launchable db's, I was wondering which launch code(s) a launchable-saavy app should deal with, and thus how Launch 'Em should allow launching of db's... I see these:

#define dmHdrAttrHidden 0x0100
// This database should generally be hidden from view
// used to hide some apps from the main view of the
// launcher for example.
#define dmHdrAttrLaunchableData 0x0200
// This data database (not applicable for executables)
// can be "launched" by passing it's name to it's owner
// app ('appl' database with same creator) using
// the sysAppLaunchCmdOpenNamedDB action code.

So I guess that I should only allow db's to be tap-launched if the dmHdrAttrLaunchableData flag is set. But should I open them with sysAppLaunchCmdOpenNamedDB or sysAppLaunchCmdOpenDB? Should any open-saavy app support BOTH of these launch codes?

Thanks,
