KembaraXtra-Computer Terms – application-centric:
Application-centric describes an operating system design in which the user typically begins work by launching an application and then uses that application to open or create documents. In this model, the program itself is the primary focus of interaction, and users choose which application to run before selecting or creating files. Many command-line interfaces and early graphical user interfaces, such as the Windows 3.x Program Manager environment, follow an application-centric approach. This design contrasts with a document-centric model, in which users start by opening a document and the operating system automatically launches the appropriate application to handle it.
