That is my analysis: it works today, 'perfectly', but there is not enough tools support to make it as easy as Monticello as a whole is today. If these tools exist, or we can build them quickly based Dale's code, that would be cool (I guess its all OSProcess underneath, which I find so/so, a direct integration is better) that would be good. Would having this change our world fundamentally ? No, IMHO Is it worth the effort, is the ROI there ? I don't think so Anyway, it is a delicate subject as it also touches on the representation of the file format.
