Hi!
First I am not an expert here, second my thoughts:
- sounds good! :)
- the two cases (new, append) are not really needed
if you just use append, and delete the list by yourself
in the file browser (but this is a philosophical issue)
- for your save/append code, have a look at [1] and maybe
[2] also. In [1] is code quite similar to your proposal
and this code is already in use and works. As visible from
[2] also a '.decode('latin-1')' is needed for me, this
may differ for you, since unicode is quite mysterious... ;))
Hope this helps a bit!
Greetings
