Futon Chrome Bookmark App

[Octavian Damiean]

Hello there,

I've created a simple Futon bookmark app for Chromium users. It is really nothing big, more like a glorified bookmark but it looks good and Chromium app users like me will probably enjoy clicking on an icon to get to Futon.

To install it, save the attached file and drag 'n drop it into your Chromium-based browser (Chromium and Google Chrome). I've also added a screenshot.

Hope you'll enjoy,

Octavian Damiean

Hi,

Awesome! Will you publish him in chrome market?

[Octavian Damiean]

That's not possible unfortunately. The market policies require me to
authenticate that I'm the owner for the host URL I'm opening with that app.
Since that is 127.0.0.1 that won't work globally, I'm owning only my
127.0.0.1 obviously, I'd be rich if not. :D

That's why I thought this mailing list would be the best place to share it.

Cheers,
Octavian

Hi Octavian, how about publishing the source (as a gist or github repo)?

Here's the manifest.json[1] and I've attached the image here in the mail.

I can't install it even when dragging onto extensions page. It says I
can't install from that website, even when dragging from my desktop.

Hi Mark,

Try to unpack futon.crx (it's zip file) into some directory then
Configuration -> Tools -> Extensions -> "Load unpacked extension" and
pick this directory. Should work well.

I'm sorry to be a pain, but according to windows 7 the file doesn't look
like a zip file.

Just rename futon.crx to futon.zip or open it with 7zip - it able to
autodetect archives even with custom extension.

7zip was able to open it even though windows couldn't. Now chrome says the
manifest version must be set to 2 (?).

[matt j. sorenson]

odd - chrome warns me on version 1 manifests, but does not force upgrade or
forbid me from enabling version 1 manifest extensions...

How do you enable them? Are you on beta build?

[Octavian Damiean]

Have you activated the Developer Mode yet?

yes

Awesome! This could be useful in a resources section on the wiki, so it
doesn't get lost.

Apparently something went wrong. Don't ask me why the packaged version had "manifest_version" set to 1. Changed that and zipped it up for you. Simply unzip it and then load it as an unpackaged extension.

Gist and wiki, gist and wiki. :)

oh *blush* i see - I'm new 'round here :)

do you refer to this wiki? http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/

[Noah Slater]

Yup! There's a page on there for meetups, events, etc.

Like this[1] Noah?

I've also created a new section in the Wiki called CouchDB Tools[2].

While we're at it, would it be possible to fix something massively annoying
with the Wiki? The home URL and title of the Wiki currently is "Couchdb
Wiki", would it be possible to fix it to "CouchDB Wiki"?

Cheers,
Octavian
