I wrote one of these in PowerPlant several years ago. It supported all
the features you describeand don't forget Clean Up,
scriptability/recordability, efficient caching for large containers--and
turned out to be a lot of code. I was hoping this was already available
within Cocoa, but I'll have to see about porting much of previous work.
The Classic API was designed for icon views (regions, icon hit detection,
many text features etc), Cocoa wasn't. That's why this task is actually
harder to do in Cocoa than in Carbon.
