Browser plugins support (ex. Flash)? #295

Closed frankhale closed 10 years ago

frankhale commented 10 years ago

Does atom shell currently support the ability to use browser plugins such as Flash? If not, are there any plans in the future to support browser plugins?

It will be possible after https://github.com/atom/atom-shell/issues/280 got implemented.

I need plugin (either np API or papper API) support to interact with various user's input like finger scanner, rfid or barcode device. If npapi not supported since it has lots security hole (unrestricted user's permission), would you consider to include papper support. Plugin support make my/ everyone jobs a lot easy to finish and more productive.

For whiles, I think I have to make node binding module (c++) or using ffi (foreign function interface) to over come that limit, and access the modules via require('remote').getCurrentWindow() on the render side.

But many-many great thank to @zcbenz , your work awesome! :+1:
