Thanks Greg...that works great.

I've been playing around trying to customise the GUI all morning.

	The code for submit-generic is probably not as good a starting point
	for making a new script, since it's highly specialized to embed commands
	into various shells and stuff.

	A better starting point might be a script like submit-shake,
	or submit-nuke.

Managed to get it to look pretty much how I want with all the required
fields. Unfortunately I'm a Python man and I'm finding Perl to hard to
hack at in order to get my customised GUI to feed in the required info.

	I've not written anything in Python.. I'm kind of waiting to see
	if either Ruby or Python jumps out at me.

	The submit scripts don't have any need for OOP really,
	so they can be written in just about any scripting language.

Is there a Python version of the submit-generic script?

	No, and I'm not sure a python version of submit-generic
	would be as helpful as a python version of one of the other
	scripts.

	What I might do is make a simple Python example script
	that shows how to submit a job through Rush.

A GUI for this sort of thing would be really cool. There definitely a
huge need for it where I am (artists just won't use it if it doesn't
have a GUI).

	What's the command line help look like for the 'publisher'?
	(ie. does it show anything when you type 'publisher -help')

	I can write it, but it'll be in Perl in order to be releasable
	with the rest of rush.

We'd love it if you could knock one up for us. It would be
great if it was general enough so that it could be used for similar
tasks like quicktime generation etc.

	Does 'publisher' support making quicktimes?
