Comment #5 on issue 8037 by [email protected]: Use jumplists on Windows 7 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8037
When we can retrieve a list of pairs (a URL and a title), we can add any lists to the JumpList of Chromium. On the other hand, this prototype shows a couple of challenging issues. 1. We need to Attach an icon to each jumplist item As far as I tested yesterday, we can attach an icon to a jumplist item when we provide the absolute path to a .ico file. On the other hand, the files in our cache does not contain file extensions. We need to check we can use our cache files for this purpose. (I don't think this is so difficult.) 2. We cannot display a JumpList when Chrome is not running. My prototype make Chromium notify Windows to update its JumpList while it is running, so it cannot update its JumpList when it is not running. (A JumpList is not a static list, i.e. it is deleted when Chromium exits.) On the other hand, IE can display its JumpList even when it is not running because it registers itself as a COM server so Windows can ask IE to update its JumpList. To emulate this behavior, we need to register Chrome as a COM server. By the way, my prototype has been uploaded to Rietveld (*1). Even though I realize it is too early for review, it is definitely helpful to give me your comments.
