in Is that an HTTP server in your Cocoa application or are you just pleased to see me? on toxicsoftware.com
Great idea Jon -- I had actually considered something similar for Sandvox (though I had been thinking about custom URL schemes) but punted on it (for now at least) since webkit is so similar to viewing with Safari. Still, it would be cool just so people could see what their site would look like with another browser.

Where I see the promise for your idea is for writing some interesting AJAX kinds of web applications in Cocoa.....

This would be great! A couple of resources ... I'm hoping that John Fox will contact you; he's been working on something. There's also something in Mr. Wil "No Unit Testing" Shipley's blog at the bottom of this entry: http://wilshipley.com/blog/2005/09/jpeg2000-coo... that suggest that CGImageSourceCreateThumbnailAtIndex() is a function you may want to check out...

I agree that spotlight is the ideal underlying technology ... but spotlight doesn't organize my iPhoto library, iTunes library, etc. It's an indexing technology, not a user interface component. What I an talking about is a standard user interface component. Sure, I could parse the XML lists from iTunes, or do a spotlight query to get all the images, but I still would have to deal with optimal thumbnail viewing code, organizing the data into source lists for use by a popup, etc. Yes, I *could* do it ... but since Apple has already done the work, it makes sense for them to provide it.
