<div class="gmail_quote">One feature that seems like it would be really nice would be if this could use a simple XML file to get the list of images to display. That way, you could easily expand it to be used on more sites than just OCAL.org. Yes, it would have specific things like uploading images which are OCAL only but for just getting the list/searching a simple protocol would be nice. It would also be cool if it was able to also then read the one existing XML format for this that I know of which was made for cooliris (others could be added as they come along), which would make it so that website developers for other sites wouldn't have to add new interfaces just for this particular browser implementation. It would also make it work instantly on a number of large sites (such as Google Images, Flickr, Deviant Art) Cody<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 3, 2008 at 9:12 PM, <<a href="mailto:enzoaeneas@gmail.com" target="_blank">enzoaeneas@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I am looking into ccHost now. It will do me no good to write a browser for OCAL if I cannot standardize on a method of communicating with it. That being said, looking into Inkscape's code will allow me to get a working model for communication with OCAL, but working with/on ccHost you flesh out a communications API, would move OCAL adoption further than my browser alone. Thank you for the suggestion. Kevin <div> On Dec 3, 2008 9:57pm, Jon Phillips <<a href="mailto:jon@rejon.org" target="_blank">jon@rejon.org</a>> wrote: > This is super cool guys!
