What does Camino lack?

Below is a list of features that could be implemented to provide greater support for Mac OS X applications and services.

Parental controls

• Black list: a list of websites a user can't access. A sheet will show and lead you to a blank page.
  • a sheet ??? :P
• White list: a list of websites a user can access. Trying to access any other pages will not be possible. I'm assuming this would have bookmark bar integration.
  • bookmark bar integration ???
• Perhaps a way for parents to lock preferences?

Dictionary lookup

• Provide a way for users to lookup selected text in the system dictionary.
• Show how definitions of words in the browser.

  Depends on Mac a11y support in Gecko - Bug 342989

iPhoto & iLife

• Image to iPhoto CM - Bug 311621

iSync, .Mac.

• There are QuickPicks available from PMC to backup a users profile.
• Provide a way for users to easily backup and share their bookmarks using iSync and .mac Backup - Bug 228123

Send complete page to Mail

• Provide a way of sending the html to Mail, similar to the way we do with Save HTML complete.
  • This is problematic because it assumes all mail clients = Mail.app, and because of the poor support for HTML pasteboard flavors among Mac apps; see http://hsivonen.iki.fi/kesakoodi/clipboard/ Gecko's HTML Complete is also an inappropriate format for doing this.

AppleScript support

• Provide a way for users to easily access features using AppleScript.
  • Lots of existing bugs on AppleScript support - Bug 156078, Bug 160106, Bug 178917, Bug 181533, Bug 184449, Bug 253486, Bug 284554, Bug 314061, Bug 339696

Automator support

• Provide automator actions/support to allow easy automation of tasks - Bug 339696
