Hi Kevin,
I was guessing this might be the case so I have added rdar://4800784 to
request this capability as what I have seem to do this presently seems not
the right way to do and have seem post of getting broken between OS
releases. I would also guess that I might not be the first either.
I would think this would be a good way of adding extra features to safari
e.g. Debugging as there could be a plugin which could provide all the
features needed and the good thing that this could remove from the release
version and therefore remove any .app bloat.
It would also be a good way to integrate the new JavaScript Debugger,
straight into Safari instead of it being a separate .app.
Another example could be in adding support for other protocols into safari
e.g. https, http, file itpc or even rdar :-).
I can think of lots great ways to extend out Safari, and while I know
everybody loves widgets, there are great only for specific tasks/information
not for if you want a feature to be available across of the whole of web
browsing experience.
Thinking about this more, I wonder if there's value if WebKit enabled
applications would benefit of using these extensions as well, but my primary
focus is for Safari.
Thanks
Mark.
