Hi Peter,

That would mean to stick to a specified OS. I wrote the project in PHP=20
to be OS independant, so this wouldn't be the ideal choice. I thought of =

something using PHPs image functions to generate labels. Should not be=20
that hard: some time ago I wrote a small "button generator". It takes=20
existing images as input (would be the empty label in our case) and puts =

text strings on it. If you've got some free time and could take a look=20
at it it would be great. The only difficulty I see with it is the fonts=20
and adjustments:

- how many items have to be put on the label
- what format should it be
   - centered/justified/left/right
   - bold/italics/...

Maybe we can build a couple of templates, and let the user select them=20
on printing. Or (later) save them together with the media information=20
("this media uses template xxx").
