It could interface with the shared resources spec and be called something catchy...but isn't that what nautilus provides already ;) Jon On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 8:27 PM, Jon A.

As at least some of you know, Adobe CSx provides a software called Adobe Bridge (http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/bridge/), a media/asset manager that can be accessed by all CS apps. It would be great to have something similar for FLOSS graphics apps, including easily accessible interfaces. Such a project may also help to speed up the further development of shared resources and specs. That aspect does sound handy. With standards on contents and locations, it would even be easy to get something going that was a supplemental application. Personally I'd love to see much that would include gradients, patterns, etc. ___ CREATE mailing list CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create -- Jon Phillips http://rejon.org/ +1.415.830.3884 (sf/global) +86.134.3957.2035 (china) Sent from San Francisco, California, United States ___ CREATE mailing list CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create

What is a bit missing is a search function, but then again when they have good integration with indexer (be it beagle, tracker, strigi, or whatever) then it should be easy to make them search for ressources. -- Cyrille Berger ___ CREATE mailing list CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create

And there too, I think the logical position of CMS settings is in KDE Settings or Gnome Settings (or Windows Settings). This doesn't prevent application to link directly to those component, we can imagine having a menu entry called manage your asset which open dolphin/nautillus in the directory with assets. And I do intend to embedd the kolor manager panel in Krita's configuration dialog, when I will have time to start using oyranos in Krita. We have to keep in mind that Adobe do some of the thing it does because they don't have control on what can be done at each level of the OS, while we have the opportunity to do the right thing :) -- Cyrille Berger ___ CREATE mailing list CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create

We did something similar with flake in KOffice. Basically it allows to extend documents with custom components. I think data exchange between apps is much more important than having the same UI. This is the point where the Adobe products currently shine: Everything it integrated. When you edit an svg file with Inkscape/Karbon and import it e.g. in Scribus you often get a message that some feature isn't supported. So while we have some great tools the integration between them is missing. Of course you still have the same problems as for the UI, there is lots of legacy code and different toolkits.
