package sharktopoda within VARS #12

This is not a priority but a suggestion....it would make VARS very user friendly.....I think that sharktopoda should be embedded within the VARS app, so to the user it just looks like one thing. When you open a video file with the new VARS, the file opens using the sharktopoda player but that happens behind the scenes and the user doesn't have to install and start sharktopoda separately.

That I don't think is really feasible.

With Java 9, there's improvements to the Process API that will allow better control of external applications. So, at some point, we could have VARS launch Sharktopoda if it's not already running.

But don't upgrade to Java 9 yet!! It doesn't play well with the current VARS systems.
