NANY 2009 Release: Keyser

<< < (4/6) > >>

ewemoa:
I haven't uploaded the following yet, but I think I have some support for IE7 working -- thanks to ecaradec's efforts on enumerating keys in the registry via FScript.dll.

Of the browsers mentioned in the original post, the hardest one to do is likely to be Chrome -- I'm not sure if that's even practical.

K-Meleon and Opera both look doable though.  I don't suppose there's anyone who has a preference ;)

Perry Mowbray:
No, you've covered my needs  :Thmbsup: Though if I had a further preference I would have said Crome  ;)

ewemoa:
Thanks for the feedback -- just curious, have you happened to have tried the plugin out and if so, does it work for you?

Regarding Chrome: I've been using Chrome (actually, I'm currently using Iron) as my main browser since pretty much when it was announced so I'd like to support it too.  Unfortunately, I don't yet see a good way to achieve the end in question.

AFAIU, Chrome makes use of SQLite a fair bit and from what I understand so far, the way it accesses some (or perhaps all) of the SQLite dbs seems to complicate access to them.  While Chrome is running I haven't yet succeeded in interfacing with the specific SQLite db that contains the information which would be relevant to Keyser.

I'm hoping there is something I'm missing and that it is a straight-forward matter to address.

There is also the matter of how to read information from the SQLite dbs (assuming access is possible [1]) -- I haven't determined a good way to do this just yet.


[1] An ugly work-around might be to try to access (or copy) the relevant db in question when Chrome is not running, but...ewwwwww!

mouser:
i think working hard to support chrome searches is way overkill..
the real power of keyser seems to be the ability to use these generic opensearch configurations; even if keyser never was able to find the firefox installed searches, as long as you could manually download new opensearch configuration files, that would be 99% of what is beneficial about keyser.

I have to agree with mouser  :-[ , especially as I generally always use FF. There are a number of reasons I don't use Chrome all the time (this is just another one)

Thanks for the feedback -- just curious, have you happened to have tried the plugin out and if so, does it work for you?

Sorry: it certainly does! I got a little confused with "choose the result" as there isn't a result list from the search, just which search to choose. I thought there was a way in FARR to add to the search field? When I select one of the search items, it does not add the websearchname to the string in FARR (which would be very useful), it opens the search page.

It's not possible to use the results from xml? for example the firefox search can return an xml file from: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/rss/?q=context+search
