Enhancing the context menu function

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would like to say thanks you all to the developing team, Welly is amazing
after adding the coverflow and gestures support.

Here I've some suggestions.
Is there any possibility about adding new features of the right click
context menu?
such as "open in 0rz.tw", "open in wretch.cc", "open in tinyurl.com"...
even let users custom their own context menu.
That would be a very useful function.
Please put it to your considerations. Thanks!

I think it would be possible to add the OpenSearch plug-in support in future 
versions, as Open PCMan and 
Firefox do, to make the context menu customizable to the client users.

In the earlier versions of Welly (or its parent project "Nally"), the "Open in 
0rz" and "Open in TinyURL" 
features exist because of the special usage among BBS users in Taiwan (say, 
given a short code, then the 
user copy the code and paste it after 0rz.tw/ or tinyurl.com/ to get the real 
URL; the actions could be 
simplified with one click in context menu).

Adding all the major services into the context menu is almost impossible; but 
if the application has 
OpenSearch support, users could customize their own context menu.  Alternately 
if the "search plug-in 
settings" is in the Preferences Pane, it might be easier to "install" a plug-in 
(just give the context menu title, 
the URL scheme, select the checkbox "use this plugin", and it should work).

I think this would be possible :)

to ducksteven:

do you have any example bbs post?   i am wondering why people do not simply 
write "http://tinyurl.com/xxxx" 
and click the url.

hi, Wang:

When people are sharing photos or websites that should not be in public (like 
torrents or big files), they 
would simply share the hashed key of short URL service; other users get the 
key, and simply type 
tinyurl.com or 0rz.tw before the key, to get the real URL.  This is called 
"低調" among BBSes in BIG5 world.

Although there is a service that can "decode" the hashed key (http://3pig.cc/ 
), but the original Nally 
developer make it possible with a click in the context menu.  

I knew that this usage is not popular in GBK world, or you're using short URL 
service other than tinyurl or 
0rz, so how about making it a customizable "search engine" formed preference?

Thanks for your attention to this topic :)

p.s. an example post is in the attachment

These menus have been restored in trunk. Maybe in ver 2.3 you can see this 
change:)
