Never said I didn't find that interesting, I was just making the point that I didn't quite follow what it did. Don't read between my lines, please. LOL! Smile.

Just like it says, it's an editor, and file types can be defined so that it can handle any kind of file at all. Want to edit an mp3 file, then just define all the fields, tags, music types and so on, and poof, instant mp3 editor. Want to create midi files, then just create a definition that handles the instruments, and poof, instant midi editor.Want to edit a text file, then just load it in, and you're editing away.The point is, it can be configured to edit anything at all if you either have, or can create a template file for the kind of file you wish to edit.This makes it flexible, and usable for just about anything at all, whether it's creating a text file, or changing a disk image on the fly. Admittedly, it's current list of definitions is a bit limited, but that doesn't mean it's useless. Then again, if it doesn't fit your needs, then you're more than welcome to use something else, that's the great thing about computers. And, even nicer, it's cross platform, since it's written in java, so it will work on windows or linux as well.(though they don't currently have a distribution for linux)It's just something I thought folks might find interesting, if you don't, no harm done.On Jul 22, 2008, at 4:52 AM, Chris Gilland wrote:what would one wanna use thi for though.

Entering data is straight forward (though vo doesn't talk specifically during typing in the edit fields) and new file types can be defined to handle just about anything you like. I'd imagine (given enough knowledge and time) this could be used to edit mp3 file tags as well, though I don't know enough about mp3 headers to create such a definition for the program.In any case, you can download and try a 30-day trial at: http://fizzysoft.net/filecarver/I'm currently using it for several things such as a book shelf (modified the default definition that came with it since it's spinner page type didn't work, and I don't care how many pages are in a book anyhow) and a shopping/grocery list, as well as keeping track of various programming tasks, and more. It really can act as a database program, even a spreadsheet with limited capabilities if you need that sort of thing.Hope this helps some, and please do post here if you have problems using it, as I'm fairly sure I've found work-arounds for most of them.Click on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverClick on the link below to go to our homepage. http://www.icanworkthisthing.com Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceoverUsers can subscribe to this list by sending email to macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover
