As Avantgo used to have thier file import format/file type, now that there is a desktop component, we should make a file format that can easily be created and shared.
Example: FILE: computeruser.plk CONTENTS: [ComputerUser] bpp=8 doc_name=Computer User home_url=http://www.computeruser.com/avantgo/index.html verbosity=1 referrer= user_agent= before_command= after_command= home_maxdepth=3 home_stayonhost=1 home_stayondomain=0 home_url_pattern= exclusion_lists= charset= indent_paragraphs=0 anchor_color=#0000FF alt_text=1 maxwidth=150 maxheight=250 alt_maxwidth=1000000 alt_maxheight=1000000 compression=zlib image_compression_limit=50 category=News no_url_info=1 owner_id= copyprevention_bit=0 backup_bit=0 launchable_bit=1 update_enabled=0 update_frequency=1 update_period=daily --- Maybe even add the ability to base64 encode the icons and attach them too. Once this is imported, it would present the use with a filled in add channel dialog. Some thought should be put into what options are imported and what ones are not allowed. Example: copy_to_dir=D:\PluckerOut doc_file=channels/ComputerUser/ComputerUser These would be installation specific and should be auto populated from the defaults/generated. The install should associate all .plk (or whatever we pick) files and maybe application/x-plucker too. Run the desktop in a mode to import this file format. Have it first populate the dialog with the defaults, then overwrite only the items included in the imported file. You can decide if this format should allow for importing more than one channel at a time. So, what do you think? --Wes _______________________________________________ plucker-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-list
