Wow. This is a really great feature. I tried it and for me it works
like a charm! Thanks a lot!
One thing you might consider is to add some kind of explanation popup
because at the moment there's only the popup saying that it's searching
for some packages and then gai is opened displaying the relevant
packages. I think this might be confusing for inexperienced users.
Something along the lines of:
"To be able to play the file you opened the following software packages
need to be installed..."
might be nicer.
Other than that, this is really cool :)
Cheers,
Mika
