Hi, that is one lovely bit of app, and I'm sure it will be well used by
many gEDA users in the future.

I haven't got any real comments other than "thanks" - I expect I'll use
it in the future!

In the future, perhaps we can have a button to fire-up such a browser
from within gschem.

(DBus IPC, whilst not a panacea for all problems would allow us to keep
it a separate app, and be used by gschem as a helper).

I have grand ideas for gschem being able to use helper parts managers,
even (dare I venture) using gschem and gattrib on the same design at
once. Much more is possible once the different tools can talk to each
other.

I'd love to spend some time coding a project manager or parts manager
system one vacation.

Regards,

Peter C.
