is there anyone who can answer my question...!?!??!?!?!?!

how do you package a chrome packaged app with nodejs-webkit.

In chrome packaged apps act pretty much like native apps. But they need to be loaded within chrome or from new chrome app launcher.

However, nodejs-webkit (need name change name sucks..) allows you to do standalone apps. Which is great for web apps. But can you do the same with chrome apps.

Chrome apps have 1 advantage over webapps. They can use chrome app apis. Which is great. If you can do this then you would have many possibilities!!! api that would be available to programmer would be...

-nodejs...

-dom css html js(+jquery...) webkit only apis..

-chrome app apis....

this should be doable as chromium is USEd in nodejs-webkit..

With a subject line like this I usually delete the email without reading but this time I wanted to make an exception. I read it until you insulted the project with """(need name change name sucks..)""" 

Creator of this project and all the contributors put lots of effort into this fantastic project, there is no reason to make a comment like that.

Good luck with your issue

myema : you should first learn good manners and then come back with your question. Deal?

@laszlo I dont mean to insult this. I was just commenting on how this name makes finding information related to it so hard. Basically nodjes and chrome together obscure the name node-webkit.

In fact, i just meant it as a advice. That finding stuff related to it would be easier if name was more specific and this great project would benefit a lot. If wasn't hidden behind nodejs and chrome...

I can tell that how hard work has been done. cause understanding webkit and modifying is no easy task.

back to question...is it possible to package chrome extension or app as standalone.

Hi there

Are you talking about these API function: http://developer.chrome.com/apps/api_index.html? While I agree that it would be nice to be able to call them, "You should implement these!" is a suggestion, not really a question.

If you're asking, "how can I call an equivalent function?", then I'd say try looking for an equivalent function in HTML5 or node.js. (For example, HTML 5 has geo-location abilities that might work, and node.js has file-system access.)

I'm assuming that you're asking because there's one specific feature that you are wanting to use..? Can you tell us which one it is?

You might want to improve your etiquette a little bit; it's more constructive to post threads with meaningful titles (e.g. something like "Using Chrome App API in node-webkit" would have been better), and to avoid double or triple posting if you can.

why

when?

Hi again

You asked for an explanation, and I think what Roger is saying is that you can use anything here: http://www.chromium.org/developers/content-module, but it's not trivial to hook anything that's not there.

Oh, and I know Google Groups can be confusing, but would you mind posting your replies in the thread and not just emailing me directly?

I'm not involved in the project and don't have the relevant language skills to pick something like this up.

Thanks for your understanding.

i did post a question and got no answer so i posted again...

the apis i'd like to have access to are as follows:

chrome.contextMenus

chrome.usb

chrome.tts 

chrome.power

chrome.idle

chrome.bluetooth

system.cpu

system.display

system.memory

system.storage

app.window

you could leave idle. I think window one is also disposable..again there is going to be overlap..devs need to take care of that. :D

what these api provide unique is deeper access to hardware and more certain functionality.

alright thanks for taking time..i hope i do find someone who can help. I am not gaining anything but i see potential in this path so i'll keep the search on.
