App for OS4

[Tafka]

Hi Guys,

I am itching to get my hands on an AmigaOne/OS4 to start developing for it but as I can no longer wait I thought I would start now.  Assuming reaction hasn't changed much, the source should be similar.

The only problem is, I don't know what!  :-D

So, does anyone have any ideas for small to medium apps that they would like to see on OS4.  I'll have a go at most things.

Vector drawing program, that sounds interesting (as I work for a CAD company as a software engineer).

What sort of vector drawing program?  You mean like full CAD?

Hehe, the effort some people go to for a joke!
 :-D  :-D

Ahh, okay.

I'll investigate it.

Okay, keep them coming...  Video stuff is one I've already started thinking of because that is what I use the PC for mostly at the moment and I'd really like to use the Amiga instead.

I've just thought of one that would be useful to me.  A proper transparent (non-samba) network layer for communicating with Windows across a LAN.  

So that the drives on the Amiga are available in network neighborhood (sic) and the PC is available as a device on the Amiga.

Hmmm, interesting one.  I'll have to have a think about that.

There is A LOT to do in the cli commands area. Now it depends if you prefer a huge app like the one listed above or small programs like those....

Okay, name some, I'll consider anything  :-D

Ahh, VirtualDub and TMpeg, where would I be without those.  TMpeg has got some really good MPG splicing functions (without re-encode).

Download Manager like DAP is good idea too.  

Good stuff guys, keep it coming.

TMpeg/DAP probably about right size I was thinking of.

Sample Editor is a nice one too.  I'm in danger of getting too many ideas here!
 :-D

Some great ideas guys and thanks Mason for your offer of help.

Is OS4 going to have input and output datatypes?  If it does that may influence my decision slightly.
