Plugin framework

[mbernasocchi]

Create a plugin framework to enable upload to several different online services (or offline, for example GPX export). Make the current movescount sync functionality the first plugin.

Strava a possibility?

Suunto just made announcment promissing Strava integration for Movescount by the end of April - http://www.suunto.com/News/Suunto-launches-software-upgrade-20-for-Ambit2-Ambit2-S-and-Ambit2-R/

I personally would still like to see plugin framework, right now I'm using https://code.google.com/p/ambit2gpx/ for locally exporting logs to gpx as I have bit more control over the output. And in addition to output plugins, it would be just awesome to have support for filtering plugins that can be daisy chained. Just for example, imagine

• altitude correction by combining GPS and Baro data ( I have Ambit1 without FusedAlti)
• simple editing before uploading to Movescount or any other service / gpx export - there's no (easy) way to modify route start/end in Movescount at the moment.
• home hiding features, where one could define e.g 500m perimeter around her house and workouts start/end automatically 500m away from front door - resulting workout is shorter but there would be extra control over privacy without extra manual work.
• (semi-) automated tagging for Movescount based on rules ( cycling started between 07:00 and 08:00, distance between 5 and 7km - tag as commute; orienteering started after 16:00 - tag as training, OldShoes)

I belive quite many tasks could be achived if openambit could call etxernal executable (gpsbabel, python script, ...) that takes input from stdin as gpx, and maybe with parameters extracted from workout.
