Not sure if that's the right name for it but I guess like many, I have quite a few CC apps now and it would be really useful to have a CC client application which listed all the available CC applications loaded, allowed you to launch applications and perhaps their update status (like the very useful downloads page)....

Of course, from a marketing perspective, it would be yet another vehicle for letting CC customers know what's out there, special offers etc.

Good idea?

It sounds like it could be a great idea. However I use CC Editor and I can pick and choose with apps are used when I click on "test in browser" "FTP" etc.
But I understand what you are asking for especially if the programs you are using don't have the options that Editor has.
As far as the "update" portion, it would be nice to turn it off. I'm in an area that only has dial up to access the net so when programs check for updates it slows everything down. And yes I know what is out there to get the internet and no the only thing available here is dial up.
