Matt: OK...the BrowserUI looks like an interesting actor option for my workflow. It would be nice to be able to "search" workflow *.kar files to determine if a workflow used a specific actor, in this case, a BrowserUI actor.
I'd like to take a look at some workflows that use this actor. Do you also have a contact at SDSC with whom I may interact on this query? Kind regards, Marc J.
