Project progress so far:

Panel: If Push4Dock is installed the 5 drawer icons appear below the device list, click one, content appears to the right, atm no list so just 17 items appear so far, item can be selected (multi-select not implemented yet), drawers can be entered, Parent icon works.
Devices in Panel: Atm clicking drives will show DH0 and DH1 etc... clicking them does nothing atm.. still to do
Icons across top: Parent icon is the only one that does something atm.
Selecting a file: It is now possible to highlight a file (text turns red) if its a recognised type eg. a picture, a text file, an amigaguide file... etc etc an icon appears in the top right-hand corner - user can then click this to for example open a .txt/.readme in notepad, open an image in the in-built editor for quick-rotation/whatever, open a pdf in amipdf, open a amigaguide in multiview, open an icon in iconedit.
I want to be able to open htmls as well using OpenURL - but when I run OpenURL in the shell it just says: Could not load browser... so gotta find out why!?!? Clue anyone?
Might add a basic music player in the application as well, depends what Hollywood supports, if its just stop and start, then just a start/button, otherwise as much as possible.
Video playback is a bit trickier.. do I default to using DVPlayer? I assume every OS4 user should have that installed.. if not why not!

In the end I want to be able to offer the source code so any Hollywood Developer can pick it up and call it from their own code with minimum arguments: Open/Save file, Window Title, Filter files by extension, Single/Multi-select file in lister.
I was thinking that an Applet would be useful?
Andreas with an applet can a Hollywood Developer call an applet with arguments and also Return variables back to the code? Again perhaps I sure hunt through the guide somemore, but I seem to remember offhand the page had very little info about applets.
