The new FSNode framework that will be used for the new file viewers, introduces
a way to display "meta-data". Actually this is visible only in Desktop.app
(View menu).
All the FSNodeRep objects, icons, browser cells, etc., can display virtually
anything in their label; in the menu, besides "name", "kind", "size", "date",
that come from normal NSFileManager and NSWorkspace methods, you'll see a
"Role" entry; "Role" displays the NSRole of a application. This is in the menu
only as a example, for the moment, but, the important thing is that the NSRole
info is taken from a FSNodeRep "ExtendedInfo" bundle that can offer, in a
NSDictionary, all you want. (even additional NSViews to introduce search and
filter criteria, if you want; or NSViews with alternative representations). My
