I can imagine a lot of other web developers doing the same thing, and wishing for a tool that does what I have in mind... Your comments and suggestions are much appreciated. Looks nice ... dont know anything like that. My sugestion : - Use RPC to the ticket stuff and interaction with the Trac instance - A Firefox plugin is cool, but what about other browsers or standalone apps ? So ... - A script (e.g. using `xwininfo` in GNU/Linux or Win32 API through `ctypes`) would be very useful as well ;o) Good luck ! ... and pls report progress here. I'm sure you'll have a lot of users :) -- Regards, Olemis.

[Trac] Re: Firefox Plugin for Trac
Just a thought, but why not have a second copy of firefox open, rather than tabbed-browsing, and minimizes as needed for screenies. There is also a handy plugin on the Hacks site to attach an image as part of the initial ticket creation. Although an app that has a hot-key mapped, takes a screen shot, prompts for summary and descritpion, connects to trac via xmlrpc, creates a ticket, and adds the attachment...and makes coffee would be cool. that last part would be an optional enhancment of course :D I just need the coffee part, really no need for screenshots for our particular work, since there is no screen --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Trac Users group.

[Trac] Re: Firefox Plugin for Trac
a save screen shot utility sounds useful, but if you use the gui to save what the gui looks like you aren't saving exactly what you want to save, all the time. So a keyboard approach to snapshotting simply can't be avoided. That said, a way to paste an image from the clipboard directly into the ticket instead of creating and using an image file would be handy too and is one of the components of what you're asking for. I think there are rich text entry widgets that can do that already, or at least they hide a lot of the details. The paucity of the discussion at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/420701/copy-pasting-image-into-javascript-rich-text-editor seems to indicate that paste-to-rich-text-widget is something of an open problem. Maybe a plugin could do it, possibly combined with server support. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Trac Users group.

[Trac] Re: Firefox Plugin for Trac
From my point of this this can be very usefull, but with one change - to do it not a firefox plugin, but some program that runs on background. I also usually add some screenshots to tickets, but i screenshot not only the browser, but some other programs too. It will be great that there will be option not only to create new ticket, but also add screenshot to the ticket comment. 2009/8/21 Indika Jayasinghe ijaya...@gmail.com: @davidnicol: Thanks for the quick response!
