Hello,
This (open source) plugin is able to launch (start) Linux, Mac, Windows, and Xbox applications from within the XBMC GUI.
Help to debug and troubleshoot it under Mac OS X would be appreciated as I do not own a Mac myself.
The plugin has been tested and working under XBMC 8.10 (Atlantis).
Download Link:
http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-launcher/downloads/list
SVN Access:
svn checkout http://xbmc-launcher.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ xbmc-launcher-read-only
Wiki:
http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-launcher/wiki/Main
Plugin Features:
- Run an application with arguments.
- Run a file from directory using given application.
- Search & Download images for applications and files using Yahoo search engine.
- Full work with the GUI with. (add application, remove, add files, etc..)
Installation:
1. unzip the file into Plugins/Program directory.
2. (linux users only): create a symlink for /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 named /usr/lib/libcurl.so (run: "sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 /usr/lib/libcurl.so" in terminal)
3. Run XBMC:
3.1. Switch to MC360 Skin (or some other skin that has "Programs" Section)
3.2. Go to Games -> Applications -> Add Source -> Browse -> Program Plugins
3.3. Select Launcher and Click "OK"
3.4. Click OK Again.
3.5. Right Click on "Launcher" Icon
3.6. Choose "Add to Favorites"
3.7. Switch back to PMIII Skin.
3.8. Click on the Arrow in the bottom right corner
3.9. Choose "Launcher"
Known Bugs:
1. Got stuck if no images were found on Yahoo service.
2. (Windows Only) Minimizing and not maximizing back the XBMC after program finished.
3. Need to exit & re-enter directory to see changes (like adding & removing files)
I'll be happy to get feedback about it, you may also open bugs in :

Enjoy!
