Okay, sorry I wasn't clearer, my bad.

Given, starting it with a desktop icon is not too difficult, using a tool such as QBW. But from what I can tell you need to specify a file, and there are user option switches at the command line too (compression type, IP, Port etc.). It would be nice if the python script downloadable via http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/woof.html could be "part of" an installable application. Such an application would have a user interface, which would allow you to browse to a file, set the port and IP numbers, specify compression method etc.

Hope this makes sense now, not sure how much clearer I can be.
