And I just rememberd what number four is :-)

And 4, dissallow the adding of clips to the project list which cannot be used 
with the current project settings.

Incidentally, this reminds me of a bug in piave : if you try to get the 
fileProperties of a non-dv clip (for example, a webpage of a .cpp file) piave 
crashes.

I'm not suggesting that piave should try to pass back relevant info about such 
files ;-) but a simple 

<reply command="getFileCapabilities" status="unknown_format"/>

or similar would probably make sense.

Cheers,
Jason
