Hi Ken, Thanks for your letter. I'll give you some status notes on some of these:
> * Change "Add a new channel" wizard so that choices > are from the "Plucker > Showcase", and have an "Expert" button to add your > own URL. On the TODO is a menu item of add from showcase. I doubt there will be a toolbbar button, though, but perhaps. > * Expand "Plucker Showcase" I agree, but there is either going to have to be someone to keep it up to date or the content providers are going to have to keep their addresses a bit more constant. Nearly 30% of the current ones in the showcase changed their address in the past year, and these were selected as the more 'stable' ones. I don't want dead lines in the samples, because then people will write and say why doesn't it work. > * Plucker Desktop to autoupdate the "Plucker > Showcase" by pulling a page > from the plkr.org (or other) site This used to be in, actually (part of the reason for the blank area on the Preferences dialog > Showcase tab). The downloading wasn't very robust cross-platform. When there is a python script to download a file, this might go back in. OTOH, the software keeps updating too anyways, and with it the showcase. > * "Plucker Showcase" to handle all parameters (but > of course user can change > that) so that adding a channel can be as easy as > clicking "Add channel" then > selecting a channel. When you choose an entry from the showase in the configure channel dialog, it already updates all the entries, or name/url only depending on your preferences that you took on Prefs > Showcase. It doesn't do this in the wizard, but that one will be removed anyways. > * Import sitescooper ".site" files to be used in > "Plucker Showcase" - there > are a lot of them (although I don't like the > everything on one page approach > that sitescooper uses) Import/export will be added. There is a Import/Export menu ready. Open formats will be supported. For closed formats this is unlikely. > * Schedule "Commandline update due channels" in OS > scheduler so this can be > done without user intervention I don't think this will be part of the final product. I don't plan on touching these type of user settings. Perhaps a better blow-by-blow instructions of how to do it though in the help. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
