Hi,
currently, I'm searching a method to extend Safari, e.g. pass the
selected text or the URL under the mouse pointer to my app.
Or hook my app in some way into Safari.
Do I need to write a plugin? Maybe, but I failed to find plugin coding
docs on Apple's website.
iGetter does this. it's not a browser plugin that it uses to do it,
but a normal contextual menu -- and it just only becomes
useable/visible from within a browser. it's done in carbon and uses
apple events to communicate from the cm to app.
You cannot actually do that with a contextual menu plugin, although
that's supposed to be the point of contextual menu plugins, because
safari doesn't provide any context to the plugin, where it should
really be providing the url that you clicked on. iGetter installs an
Input Manger which is probably how it makes things work. One could
probably find out what it does by class dumping the plugin.
