[daisy] Better desktop integration

[Jorg Heymans]

Hi Karel,

At first sight, it seems that the desktop integration assumes that the
"master" copy of a document (e.g. a Word or PPT doc) is stored in Daisy, is
this correct ? If so, how about the case where the master copy is stored
outside Daisy (e.g. locally or network drive) ? Can this be managed by the
desktop integration tool (DIT) as well ?

Here's what i'm thinking:

- you need a way of telling DIT that a locally stored document has a
counterpart in Daisy, i.e. some sort of registration process (drag and drop
doc on DIT ? but how to associate the local doc with the one stored in daisy
?)
- after editing the document locally, DIT should provide a button to sync
updates on all registered documents to their counterparts in Daisy.

Does this make sense to you ?

Thanks,
Jorg
