I've been pretty impressed using KIT for a couple of weeks now. You pay a lot of attention to how people work, it seems to me. Simple little things like a very easy keyboard shortcut in Services: Shift-Cmd-K which can lift an iTunes track straight into KIT. Or anything else it seems to me. Simple things like recognising an URL in the clipboard and when you choose New Web Archive, it automatically pastes it in. There's not a lot of buttons or things to explore but what's there works really smoothly and integrates into my work very well indeed. I use the Comments fields for my own list of Tags I use but proper tagging would be nice... I think you’re due a blog entry called Kit – things you can do…

You should be able to get all the information you need from there.

I do the same in my apps, but at least make alternate formats available for the rest of the world. They probably maintain some array of internal objects.

Ever since Tiger shipped Mail has stored all its messages a separate files, they are plain text and easily decipherable. With Mail is the contents of the clipboard not a path to the message file?
