Why not? BBedit does it so it can't be impossible at least,
It's not so much if it's possible as it's if it's desireable, I think.
many programs remember their windows settings... every finder window remembers it's settings (though that gets stored in the .DS_store file I suppose). And it should really be centralised I think if the files are to be distributed to people,
But what if you move the files around yourself? What if you want to edit it somewhere else? I don't think doing it centralized is a good idea, but let's see what Allan says about it :-).
even though I know that doesen't seem to be the mac way (embedding images in mp3 files ala iTunes artwork is probably THE stupidest data handling I've ever seen)
I kinda thought so at first, but I changed my mind. Nice to be able to give people files with artwork in them, and if you have an iPod photo etc. it will also show up there. What would you rather, also take ID3 info out of the files and stuff it in a database? :-).
