i agree. i did not ask for any specific e support. however, i did ask if current e infrastructure could make life a bit easier.... i am sure as hell not going to implement yet another recogniztion subsystem, as there are good ones (even GPLed) out there that i can use. what i really though of is using ecore to help implement a module/stand alone progi which would be better than existing ones. as for my example, i agree, it was lame, but as you pointed there are some really good applications to such a feature. i think i'll try to come up with something, and if you can give a few technical pointers it would be greatly appreciated. thanks for your input. cheers, -- ======================================================================== nir.
