Investigate Single-Site Browsers (SSB) for SVG-edit

[GoogleCodeExporter]

File API support in Firefox 3.6 and work in SVG-edit 2.5 to expose this has
convinced me that local file access should be a high priority item.

Projects like Mozilla Prism and Fluid mean that you can configure a native
app to bring up a browser page and feel closer to a real application.  A
couple things to pursue:

  1) Can SSBs be configured to access local files (load/save)?  See

  2) Can we provide a better icon for the Dock (looks pixelated when
alt-tabbing)

  3) Can we customize the About screen (Prism)

I'm very pleased to hear about Prism here, I was actually thinking about making 
a
Prism bundle for SVG-edit myself, given that there have been recent builds for
Windows and Linux (not sure about Mac).

The builds can be found here:

Making a Prism bundle is not hard (just played with that) but trying to get the
custom handlers for open/save embedded did not seem possible :(

There's not much reason to make a bundle if we can't extend the webapp in that 
way.
You can still install Prism and point it at the trunk/editor/svg-editor.html to
create a webapp for SVG-edit, it just won't have any benefits over the browser 
version.

Would this help?
