Thanks for the info. The kopete example was just for explanation purposes. Our 
plan is that recipes are written by application developers (which know their 
app the best), and installed in a predefined path from where the Kamion picks 
them up. In that case you have the full control over the recipe, and can 
adopt it whenever there is a change in your app. We know that this means one 
more file for you to maintain, but you are the one which will keep it 
functional with the least effort. Or would you rather leave it to some third 
party? We're open to discussion.

Regards,
