Hello,
My application on OS4Depot is called Jack and is available on right now. As I write it is currently at V1, it features amongst other things an AppStore, Preferences Manager, Screen Capture and Image Editor with some nifty features. Worth checking out!
Once Jack as developed some more I may well release Jack as an applet so you can call it as a file requester for your own applications as I believe it to be an invaluable tool for your desktop.
Search it out on OS4Depot.
