I want to use it for editing documents. I think that initially I'll tell the users to download firt, then edit, and last upload the file, much like Tutos (www.tutos.org). The Upload form will (indirectly) handle the event. The 'move one element from one folder to another' problem with state change, could be resolved vía DynApi drag and drop layers, or a cut and paste mechanism. (I'll try to use the Browser for it.)
For me another acceptable solution, would be to have a little 'stay resident' program for Desktops. It'll use some functions browsers normally won't handle. I'm thinking of printing data directly to the printer (text only printers, barcodes, etc.) and for Word Mail Merge or some Excel graphics (basically COM) (I don't want to use OCX for this.) The other function would be to receive a file and start automatically the needed application for editing. The only problem is that I don't know when the user has finished with the document. (I think that this is called File Moniker in Windows. I know that there are a lot of applications which handle this, but I don't know how to that on my own. What about this in Linux?) But perhaps this is not the biggest problem because we could tell somehow explicitly that we are done with our task (of editing the document).
