I updated this to version 1.0.3.
I now support autorunnable chroot environments and side by side ext2 mounting (for copying between ext2 images).
I will eventually update emelfm2 to support the additional ext2bmount and ext2bdrop commands but if you want to use them you can edit filetype and add those two commands :
Ext2bMount sudo ext2bmount %f
Ext2bDrop sudo ext2bdrop
I've got a couple ext2 autorunnable appliances now at :

So basically that allows me to make autorunnable apps for programs which need files in specific locations... the downside is that i need to add extra files (duplicate) so that all dependencies are met.
For those who want to build your own images, i've got some starter empty filesystems which i use, and one which is loaded with minimal amount of files needed to chroot into it. You can copy all files from the loaded 12meg image to any empty filesystem image using side by side mounting. These development images are here :

If you do attempt to make your own images, rename it immediately after extracting it becuase when you mount a file it remembers the file name and remounting a different image with the same filename might not work. Also unmount (ext2drop) the image and reboot before deleting to ensure disk space is recovered on your mmc.
