Description:

  Greetings, the project that I would like to submit is a fully customizable
media content navigator, for directory-based (tree-like) organized content,
which runs under GNU/Linux using primarly the gnome(gtk+,glib,pango)
programming facilities.

That is to say that given a directory-path as input the program will generate
a (customisable) visual navigation gui for the directory contents, acting upon
selections (other directories, files e.t.c) according to meta-data (given in
seperate .info files for each element in the directory).

The meta-data include information such as:
title, description, image(png-format) , action-when-selected ,
system-command-assosiated-with-selection , colors , sound e.t.c

The navigation input should support gamepads (apart from the usual keyboard
and mouse)

A sample use for such software, is to create a so-called "freedom-toaster"
that is to say a program used for navigating throught dvd-image categories,
for burning in a "publicly-accessed" dvd-r.

Another use would be to create a private-collection navigator for home use
(selecting audio-playlists, video-playlists e.t.c) through a nice front-end.

The code resides in : 

http://www.softnet.tuc.gr/%7Ewhoneedselta/midwar/media_nav.tar.gz/download

and is very draft ...

Another goal of this submition is to get to know the savannah facilities
better for my graduation diploma project at TUC(Technical University of
Crete) that I would like to submit in the near future.(also GPL'ed)
