Yes, essentially. mouse-drag-selection (the highlighting of box regions on the bitmap) does not need to be echoed in the *.box file, while you select (although, I guess, that would be a plus: to select in either GUI (bitmap) or box file window, using any method (mouse, keyboard, or both), and to have the other window automatically be updated with the selection state), but everything just needs to be updated everywhere in the end, somehow. Tearing the *.box file apart is already easily done using popular, text-friendly scripting (perl, python, ruby, etc.) > If so, at first glance it seems to me that such functionality would be more > appropriate for another (separate) application. GUI would be different: I didn't mean to suggest that the functionality would necessarily belong in the same application as the one you are announcing in this thread -- it's quite the reverse of your app. But then, again, I can think of situations where BOTH utilities would be useful to someone, in one single project, and then it would make sense for them to be part of the same utility suite I was just hoping you might find it relatively easy to build the one I describe only because you seem to know the GUI tool set -- and my utility needs mouse-drag-select and gui stuff like that.
