Development:Planning:OS Integration

What does Camino have?

• Address Book
  • We list address book entries in the bookmark manager

  • We send links to any system default mail client
  • We create new mails in any system default mail client

• Bonjour
  • We list available severs on the local network

• Spotlight
  • We allow spotlight to search trough our bookmarks

What does Camino lack?

Below is a list of features that could be implemented to create a tighter integration with Mac OSX.

Parental control

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

Mail

Several other browsers offer toolbar items that make a direct link with what ever Mail client you have set to default (sys prefs). This creates a situaion where the apps are more intimitly sharing information.

This same idea could be aplied to RSS readers and what not.

• Create a Mail toobar item, which has a popup with the following options.
  • Send Link.
  • Send Page.
  • Read Mail.
  • Create New Mail.

Spellcheck

• Provide a way for users to easily access the spellcheck libraries when editing text oon webpages.

Dictionary lookup

• Provide a way for users to lookup selected text in the system dictionary.
• Enable the dictionary feature that show explanations of in the browser.

Send image to iPhoto

• Perhaps other iphoto integration?

iSync, .Mac.

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

Drag images to other applications

• We currently lockup and crash when users try and do this.

Send complete page to Mail

• Instead of just sending a link to mail we should also provde a way of sending the html to Mail, similar to the way we do with Save HTML complete.

Applescript support

• Provide a way for users to easily access features using Applescript.

Automator support

• Provide an automater plugin and script suites to allow easy automation of tasks.

Downloads

• Give the "Open With..." contextual menu option in the download manager.

Address Book

• Allow users to easily edit their Me card from camino, either we direct to and open AddressBook or we could even show a sheet?

Some other ideas

• Add downloaded images to iphoto automatically.
• Add downloaded songs to itunes automatically.
• Add downloaded movies to the itunes library automatically.
• Filter downloads and place them in the (Pictures/Movies/Music/Documents/Desktop) corresponding user folders (look at Aqcuisition).
