I would just love to see an application metadata driven front-end.
For example, if I wish to use SmartRipper instead of DVD Decryptor, I would drag the SmartRipper program or shortcut over the DVD Decryptor button and presto! The button has been modified to invoke SmartRipper, and a settings from a \metadata\smartripper.XML file are now used to estblish interfaces between SmartRipper & GK.
If I want to use XviD, Joe's Codec, or whatever; just bring up a list of all installed codecs, select one and presto! Settings from a \metadata\YetAnotherCodec.XML file are now used to set navigation for supported features and establish interfaces between YetAnotherCodec and GK.
