Okay, here goes. This is VERY alpha. It won't mess your DQSD, but there is one obvious bug that I can't figure out, and about 10 things I want to do before this is even close to going public. However, I'd like to share what I'm working on so that I can get feedback, and most of all HELP.
For those of you who don't mind alpha testing, this modification requires IE 5.5 or higher: http://danknows.com/snippets.zip Download and extract that into C:\Program Files\Quick Search Deskbar. It should work fine without reboot, but does require a ! reload of dqsd. There is only one file that will be overwritten, helpmenu.js. Once you've got it, the main part of the addition is found in the popup menu. Find the "New Snippet" in the menu. Now, you may ask "What is a Snippet". To test it out, go to any web page, select (highlight) part of that web page and hit CTRL-C, and then open a new Snippet and hit CTRL-V. Trust me, you'll get the idea pretty quickly - the RTE is a neat bit of javascript. Edit your snippet however you want, and save it. Now you should see it in the menu. Things that I plan to do/fix: -Yes, I know when you return from editing an existing Snippet it spawns an error. I just haven't figured out how to fix it. One of you may know better than I do. -I plan to NOT show the .html extension in the menu. -The snippets folder should be made a preference. -The xml file could use alot of work. -showModalDialog is probably a poor choice to spawn the window - it locks the window up front. If you have answers to any of these PLEASE share - I'm banging my head on some of them. I should add that 99% of this mod is not my own - I make direct calls to a javascript RTE found at http://richtext.sourceforge.net which is released under LGPL. I'm not a licensing guru - I don't know what, if any impact this has on dqsd. Since I haven't altered the RTE in any way, I think there is none. This will be my first open source contribution. I hope you guys like it, but I will understand if you don't. I've written it knowing full well you might consider this outside the dqsd scope - and that's fine - I'll leave it up to you whether you want to actually add it in. I work in Research & Development. For me, finding research is only half the battle. Recording it is very important. This modification will greatly help me do my job. But, I am a bit nervous that you guys will say "boy, this is stupid". So, if you don't like it - be gentle. :) _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
