Interaction with other applications

Post by MacSailor »

It would be plus to have more interaction between other priceless applications such as OmniGraffle, OmniOutliner and Bookend, just to mention some of them.

It would be great to be able to go to OmniGraffle directly just by double-click within NWE on a graphic made by OG. It would make the working with both NWE and OG more smoothly than it's today.

Maybe it could work like "plug-ins" even if all the applications are standalone applications? All the different companies would certainly make a benefit by a cooperation like this.

There is even a spreadsheet called Mesa that maybe would be interesting to include in this cooperation, even if it's not as powerful as Excel.

This is a compelling idea, Peter. It's reminiscent of one of the better features in iPhoto, in which double-clicking on any photo in your library opens up the photo in an application of your choice (Photoshop, OmniGraffle, GraphicConverter, you name it). No plug-ins are necessary. All you have to do is specify the application in the preferences menu.


Such a feature would be unique among word processors, useful, and very Mac-ish (and therefore very Nisus-ish, too). I like it.
