Neat! chooser must know lar anyway.
The only problem is that makes extracting a LAR pretty complex - you'll have some pretty funky names hanging around. It will also make a typical LAR command line look very ugly.
there is a good reason to have small "filenames" in the LAR and a descriptive name somewhere else.
I'd like to avoid the sorting subdir however. Sorting can be accomplished just as easily by implementations in chooser:
Oh, yeah - the chooser will have to figure out sorting on its own. For the chooser menu, thats easy, we have numerous things (alphabetical, lar order, etc, etc). For chaining it is somewhat more complex. I haven't thought of a good way to do that yet, but its probably going to involve a configuration "file" of some sort in the LAR.
