- Yes and all this should be modularized.
-
- I wrote something on the AmigOS mailinglist about that.. Maybe it is of
- interest.... I hope its clearly enough to be understood.
-
- It goes a little bit further... but maybe this is not too bad... I am just
- wondering, _how_ it could be implemented efficiently.

- Subject: new datatypes scheme!?

- Hi!
-
- What about are more differenciated datatypes scheme for the new os... as
- follows!?
-
- datatype
- - load-smallest-element (codec)
- - load-all
- - save-smallest-element (codec)
- - save-all
- - view (gadget)
- - operators
- - e.g. convert text from one standard to another
- - or: rotate an image... an such
- - editors
- - direct link to editing software or directly integrated editing
- software for each type
- - arexx interface type
-
- This would add the following features:
-
- - able to do progressive type loading (good for those html browser with
- progressive image loading)
- - able to manipulate types contents in a modular
- - able to integrate application more smoothly in that scheme
-
- Imaginge a texteditor:
- - it could use ascii-loaders and savers
- - it could have operators such as
- - delete a line
- - change a line
- - reformat a block and such
- - and the main part is in the editor.subtype
-
- You could use it to view text, but also to edit texts. And even better
- only viewing texts would mean that only loadtype and viewtype will be
- loaded, but not the operators and editor.subtype
-
- Hmmm, I am getting a bit confused with the slang... is it a subtype, a
- datatype sub class or what... :-)
-
- A new prefs accessing scheme could be implemented this way...
-
- - load (part of) tag based IFF PREFS file
- - save ....
- - change one part of the file
- - edit it
- |
- --general
- |-- printer, serial, screenmode bla bla....
- - view contents...
- - arexx interface
-
- An in SYS:Prefs only the starters of all this in global mode.
-
- main()
- { OpenLibrary("inputprefsedit.class",bla)
- execute the edit function via a single call... (DoMethod?)
- CloseLibrary(bla)
- }
-
- thats it, for one prefs program... all is modular...
-
- But could such a scheme be implemented without to much overhead???
