<br>
don't need to; we know where the code is on disk, and you can just pass that<br>
path directly to the Package which would then be used by the Applet object to<br>
run the widget.</blockquote><div><br>Evidently I have yet much to learn about the platform and available code :) <br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
* if the user needs an embedded terminal to make plasmate useful, something's<br>
horribly wrong :) it's all based on managing the contents of a Package and<br>
that's all automated / automatable</blockquote><div><br>So happened that when I was telling a friend about Plasmate he exclaimed 'What, no terminal!?' :P I agree completely that Plasmate should not need to rely on the terminal emulator at all, but I was just thinking that it might be handy (I use Kate's terminal for all kinds of things).<br>
<br>Hmmm, then again Plasmate will probably be maintaining the 'project files' somewhere out of sight so maybe its not such a good idea to let the user have terminal access to that location after all. <br></div><div>

* for the diff viewer, we could probably use the kdiff kpart that comes with<br>
kde if it's available on the system (otherwise just show it in a plain text<br>
editor, i suppose)</blockquote><div><br>Yeah, was thinking the same thing. Wonder how much work will it be though to manually produce one from a text diff file. Since it doesn't need to be editable, the hardest part would probably be parsing the diff file<br>
