What I think is needed - and there has been a discussion on this (tool
chain) on the GE list a while ago - is a way to modularize everything,
simply so that you don't have to open any particular application. In some
ways it would make applications redundant, because there is an intelligent
interface that recognises the MIME type and offers (grouped) (and available)
functions that apply to this particular type. Sure, a GUI would pop up in
most cases, but then it's no longer ShowImage, ArtPaint or
LoadImageBytesButDontDoAnythingElse.
...
I know R1 won't be like that, but here's to hoping that R2 isn't yet another
dumb wannabe clone of other systems that 20 years after the first PC came
out are pretty much on the same evolutionary level. OBOS can make history,
but first its developers and constructors need to understand same.
