==History==
===Early development===
A Things! control panel was in development for QuickTime 1.x in 1992. It was intended to manage QuickTime components, called "things" at the time, but was never publicly released.Apple Easter Eggs: Things! (1.0a2) by David K. Every & Daniel Fanton, MacKido. 2002-11-09. The ability to manage these features later emerged on a per-file basis in QuickTime Player 2.5 and Pro.
