Split extensions by type #1911

Open GreenLunar opened 8 years ago

GreenLunar commented 8 years ago

According to screenshot at OpenUserJS, it appears that QupZilla offers an "extension" that opens a URL with custom arguments or parameters.

I suggest to split extension box into a couple of types, one for extensions and an other for online services, such as online bookmark managers, pastebin, reverse image finder etc.

Who da wha? I don't see that particular text on the Extensions UI... is that where you are looking? Feel free to reference the image url too since it's hosted on GH dev and say left pane, right pane, "Settings" button, etc... you've even confusered me and I did the screen caps. :)

I apologies for the confusion.

I had no other resource to point to, so I referenced to OpenUserJS (qupzilla1.gif). I did not know how many new plugins are now included by default, so I did not explicitly wrote its name.

The plugin I was discussing about is ImageFinder, which is included by default.

Thanks for the clarification. So what we do on OUJS is a category type but still the same window itself. If you are suggesting a new left pane item for "Online services", the distinction between distinction between online/offline extensions can be very blurry sometimes. Usually when I build a machine for a client I'll attempt to do the same thing, on the desktop, with local services on left and remote services on the right to train those new to an OS... however this doesn't always work with combo items that are both... this is where a category sort comes in with lists... which is a type of virtual split... instead of the default alphabetical all in the right pane list. Perhaps this could be an option.

Unless there is hundreds of extensions this is not worth. But of course, patches welcome.
