Just wondering when to expect the new plug-in code to be available. I've got a plug-in that I'd like to update.

Yeah, I'm waiting too, but for a different reason.

Sounds mysterious... :)
And for what reason if I dare to ask?

Sure. No great secret.

I have a freeware app: http://www.twinforces.com (in fact, I just plugged PathFinder today with my latest release).

For the next rev, I want to combine some of the multiple windows into one three-paned view.

Since this app is free, and I'm working it in my spare time, I need to leverage off of other people as much as I can.

The current open source stuff is close to what I need (the split views are nice), but I suspect the next rev is even closer.

Plus I'm curious if you're using NSOutlineView, because I had so many problems with it. I suspect you're not, so I wanted to crib off that too...

Well, I don't know when exactly it'll happen. The only thing I can quote here is what the developer has written inside his plugins (which should be true for other opensource stuff as well):

I plan on open sourcing all of my plugins once I get the code cleaned up for public viewing

I think he's very busy now, getting the Universal Binary ready, testing it on his new Intel Machine (MacBook Pro). And I think that it would make sense to release the opensource frameworks compiling without problems as UB (theoretically they already do so since June 2005).
I think once the UB is released he has chances to get to it (i.e. clean up his code :) )
I know that Steve is also willing to opensource his crash reporter system (it just checkes for new crash logs at the programm startup)
Check out in a month or so or you can ask him per email sgehrman@cocoatech.com

I've got to say that I'm watching your progress with great interest - I'm a rabid kGTD user (I'd been using OOPro well before kGTD came out, so the cost of OO wasn't an issue.)

While I'm not ready to give up kGTD yet, I can easily visualize Frictionless getting to the point where it will surpass the kGTD applescripts.

Keep up the good work!

Frameworks coming now that 4.1 is out?
