Re: Rivers comment, AWB is undergoing Major changes currently for full Api based editing. According to a recent mono report [1], AWB is a lot closer to being Mono with some of the dependences that we used before. We are still using the Web Control/Browser thing for HTML rendering. The rest we would be able to work around as appropriate.. However, saying that, AWB is still an application with a GUI. The AWB Database Scanner code could quite easily be copied from the SVN and reused in a small CLI application to do what you wanted.. Probably without too many changes Sam [1]: http://toolserver.org/~reedy/awbmono/output.html
