Check out some screenshots of the UCM / Digaset Desktop component..
Its a desktop within a browser integrated with the UCM as the file store and conversion engine 
Soon to be integrated with Google Gears & Adobe AIR..
Readon for the spy shots!!!
This is the Digaset portal/login page.
It allows you to go directly into the UCM browser virtual desktop environment or to the standard UCM Homepage; there is a link available from the UCM navigation to go directly into the the desktop.
User Account
This is the UCM user profile area, at the moment it is still very basic although it allows you to upload an avatar image of yourself! bring on Enterprise 2.0!
Virtual Desktop Customisation
Customise the virtual desktop from the windows skin to the background, above are some samples.. Customisation can be done on a user or company level..
Start Menu
Where would you be without a start bar?
An avatar is generated when uploaded into your user profile and is displayed to show you who you are logged in as.
Task Lists, Notes and calendars are initially planned for the white area.
File Conversions
Open up assets in PDF or flash format – document flash conversions are currently handled by swftools and require document formats to be uploaded as PDF.
Unfortunately due to browser limitations only 1 preview of a document can be opened up at any time.
Asset Explorer
Just like windows explorer you can navigate through the folder structure of your UCM with a few added benefits – Drag/drop, select multiple folders and documents. Review meta info on selected documents, change display view, view and order by selected meta fields.
Whats even better, is that you don’t have to wait for the page to refresh!
This gives you all the features of the UCM and windows explorer plus more bundled into a intuitive front end that you are used to..
Context Menus
Right click on the screen and you are presented with relative options for you to interact with assets and desktop icons. ie – here we can right click and view properties on a document and a UCM meta information window is displayed.
Multiple Windows
Checkin a document, whilst you review meta information on another document on the same screen.. 
Collapse, expand minify etc all the options. Have multiple folders open for simple drag/drop functionality.

We have any kind of time frame on when more public information or a release of this will be?
I have adobe captivate; so I will be doing a demo as soon as I can get a spare 5/10 mins
I had planned completion to be before Christmas last year and to send a copy out to Billy; however due other priorities this project was put on hold..
All interaction is done with custom idc services and json request.
It works pretty well.. Although there are a lot of bugs still to iron out..
Its also xbrowser compliant ie6.x+ and all the rest..
The planned release of the first beta will be End of July.
Integration of Air and gears planned to be complete by End of September.
The design still needs a lot of tidying..
I have also customised my json requests to only bring back required info and not the standard bulk that the UCM provides.
John, This is a wonderful example of a RIA built on top of UCM. It looks amazing and I love the idea of it as a gears assembly. tell me more!
Thanks billy;
The plan is to convert the Digaset Desktop component to a desktop app with adobe AIR and use gears as the offline database and also as the localserver allowing user when they are offline to manage data and sync updates back to the UCM when they have connectivity.
At the moment I haven’t written any temp file store as I know DIS has an offline content manager. I just haven’t had the time to investigate the potential of allowing users access to archived local files when they loose connectivity via their DIS stored offline content via a web request.. but we will see. There just aren’t enough hours in the day..
Gears and air integration will be phase 2 followed by investigating a offline temp file repository
BTW.. the performance is ace aswell no lag or delay that I have seen on some other systems.. !!
Just remember to disable firebug
Looking good bud.
You do know that there is a DB/file store within AIR. That’s kind of the point so that the app has local state so you would not need to use gears as well other than for the browser based version.
I know AIR has DB/filestore but it makes it simpler to use Gears as the filestore.. CouchDB also offer offline storage and access via javascript..
But I want to use gears as I know I can integrate that into air and also integrate that with a webbrowser no point in using 2 DBs to do 1 thing it would mean more work
Gears will be the central offline storage and sync tool..
I am trying to setup the oracle UCM desktop and need more information on the connection string to the UCM servers. What and how do I figure out the correct string to use? If you can direct me I would apprecicate it.
