A comment on the problem "Seemingly unconsistent support of char. like æ, ø and å in "weather"." in Mozilla:

Yes, you should see the Denmark weather in the preview; I just tried it now and it works for me. – bugmenot, on September 12, 2008 20:00

bugmenot replied on September 12, 2008 19:58 to the idea "OpenSearch search engines should Just Work in Ubiquity" in Mozilla:

I like that idea. I don't think there's a way to build a command like that in Ubiquity now, but maybe in the future - this goes hand in hand with the exploration of what's the best way to use the Ubiq command line so that it is both easy to lean ("discoverable"), powerful, and grows with you (i.e. you can make it terse).

bugmenot replied on September 12, 2008 19:50 to the question "Grab a screen shot with Ubiquity" in Mozilla:

I think that Ubiquity has the ability to do screenshots of the Firefox window with CmdUtils.getWindowSnapshot(). If someone gives it a try, please report back here.

bugmenot replied on September 12, 2008 01:35 to the question "how do I add additional command arguments?" in Mozilla:

I don't see a "delicious" command in my ubiq.
I suggest you email whoever wrote the "delicious" command you're using. Their web page (or email) should show up when you ubiq "command-list'

bugmenot replied on September 12, 2008 01:08 to the question "calculate gives an error when the numerator is zero" in Mozilla:

You could try calc2, it handles 0/22 correctly and also does a bit of natural language. It's there:

bugmenot replied on September 12, 2008 01:03 to the question "How do you add images to ubiquity preview?" in Mozilla:

Here's how to add an image to the preview.

The preview itself is like a web page, it has HTML inside. The author tutorial shows that the preview function can take two arguments. The first is "pblock", and pblock.innerHTML has the HTML code that corresponds to the preview.

So if you want, say, the google logo there all you have to do is put this in your preview function:

pblock.innerHTML = '<img src="http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif"/>'

There you go! I'm sure you can go from there and put your own image, or an image that depends on what the user has typed.

try pressing the down arrow, that might fix it.

Whow, great, exactly what I was looking for!

bugmenot asked a question in Dopplr on September 10, 2008 08:43:

Add trips from website

Hi,

I developed a calendar and would like a 'add to dopplr' link, is this possible? dConstruct uses something like this (http://dplr.it/dconstruct08) but I can't find this documented somewhere.

Also I would like to pass the start en end date in the URL as the events are dynamically generated. Is this possible without API authentication and stuff?

Something like dplr.it/add?name=MyConference&start=20080910

Thanks!

bugmenot shared an idea in Songbird on September 09, 2008 14:30:

Advanced filter functionality / Drag'n'Drop the universe

I think the following changes would increase Songbird's usability. Given that I'm totally no developer, I'm sharing my Ideas here, hoping someone could find them useful.
Some Use Cases:
1. The Display Pane as to date shows three tags "track", "artist" and "album"

1.1.1 Alice drags the artist tag which contains $artist and drops it over the Service Pane. A new smart playlist node appears which points to a smart playlist filtered by artist with $artist.
1.1.2 Bob drags the album tag to the service pane and gets a new smart playlist, that filters his library by $album.
1.1.3 track tag similar

1.2.1 Alice drags the artist tag which contains $artist and drops it over the media list. The main pane now shows Alice's respective playlist (library) filtered by artist with $artist.
1.2.2 similar with album
1.2.3 similar with album

1.3 Alice gets the same behavior if she ctrl-clicks any tag in the Service Pane.

2. The media list shows n songs with each m tags.

2.1 Alice drags m5 of n42 and drops it over the Service Pane. That results in a smart playlist as in 1.1
2.3 Alice ctrl-clicks m5 of n42 and gets a filtered playlist as in 1.3

Do you have even more Ideas? Get them coming.
Hope I have made myself understandable even if my English isn't that good.

bugmenot replied on September 09, 2008 09:35 to the question "Different toolbars per profile & Defaulting bookmarks to specific profile" in Xmarks:

Hi,

I think the "Defaulting bookmarks to specific profile" feature would be a very useful feature.

Alot of people would use it, since you don't want your "home bookmarks" to become visible in your "work browser".

It takes a lot of time to manually fix this, everytime you add a new bookmark folder: go to the webpage, login, go to the profile options and disable the specific folder for either profile.

Best regards :-)

Maybe someone can adjust one of the commands in there:

?

bugmenot replied on September 08, 2008 23:57 to the discussion "Ubiquity should use a Firefox based notification, not an OS based one." in Mozilla:

I really like how I can customize the growl notifications. The firefox things at the top of the screen would get annoying really fast because they push the whole page down and they don't go away by themselves.

Maybe Firefox notifications only for "couldn't find growl". That one does make sense.

bugmenot replied on September 08, 2008 23:50 to the idea "tab to autocomplete commands (Emacs style)" in Mozilla:

But is it necessary? For example look at the "calculate" command. I can type calculate 1+1 to be reminded it's 2, but it also works if I just type "ca 1+1".

The bash-style tab-expand is implied, in a way. So it seems maybe we should keep the tab key for when we get some other crazy-new idea about making the command-line powerful and intuitive.

bugmenot replied on September 08, 2008 23:34 to the question "New command not working" in Mozilla:

Try this:


CmdUtils.CreateCommand({
name: "paginasblancas",
takes: { "name":noun_arb_text },
modifiers: { surname1:noun_arb_text, surname2:noun_arb_text, prov:noun_arb_text },
description: "Paginas Blancas",

execute: function( directObject, info ) {
var query = directObject.text;
var url = "http://blancas.paginasamarillas.es/jsp/resultados.jsp?no={QUERY}&ap1={AP1}&nomprov={PROV}";
url = url.replace( /{QUERY}/g, query);
url = url.replace( /{AP1}/g, info.surname1.text);
url = url.replace( /{AP2}/g, info.surname2.text);
url = url.replace( /{PROV}/g, info.prov.text);
Utils.openUrlInBrowser( url );
}
});


A good way to figure out what's wrong is to comment out (/* */) parts of your code until the error goes away. Then you know it must be in the last part you commented out.

bugmenot replied on September 08, 2008 23:29 to the question "The preview loop gets executed many times" in Mozilla:

To avoid this problem, you can store the result of the query in a variable inside your command (the same command object is reused for the preview, so the result will still be there). Just make sure that the cached result is still for the right name, so that if the user goes back and changes the name, he/she gets the right result.

bugmenot replied on September 08, 2008 23:21 to the idea "Make Ubiquity show Internet expressions e.g. FTW is "For the Win"" in Mozilla:

try that one: http://common-lisp.net/project/lifp/u...

it'll go to urbandictionary. They have FTW and a bunch of other expressions.

bugmenot replied on August 20, 2008 05:35 to the problem "Why can't I access Facebook via HTTPS/SSL?" in Facebook:

you can maybe use a web proxy that is secure; then at least the part between you and the proxy will be secure, which is probably the part you're most concerned about
