scripting

[gnomefg <gnomefg freemail hu>]

Hi!

I'd like to ask if there is a GUI scripting capability in
GNOME. Like in BeOS or OS/2. If ther isn't, are they
planning to do it?
By the way! Linux's (and UNIX's) power is in combining
programs with pipes and filters by the shell.
My question might be stupid, but what if this feature would
apear on the GUI. For exmaple : Imagine that your word
processor can't handle a format but you have a converter.
With the mouse you should redirect the "save as..." dialog's
output into the converter's input.
OK this was a silly example! You can do it at the shell too.
But what if your converter is only available like a GUI app.
But there can be other aspects when this kind of stuff might
be handy.
Any comments?

Thanx!
