I appreciate the actions feature very much. And I understand that you only include three example actions by default. What about starting an online collection on the web? There must be many people who do like the feature, but who don't want to fiddle with regexes or don't have the skills. The community could collect hundreds of useful actions. Ideas in detail: - People could upload their actions*. - There could be a validation process (i.E. other users testing and commenting the action, and/or giving marks/stars). - The actions dialog could have a link to the online collection. - There could even be an automatic upload and download feature (cf. the "Get Add-Ons" dialog in Firefox). *) E.g. I have made one for the Swiss High Court's process numbers (try 6B_15/2008, 1P.29/2002 etc.): (\d[A-Za-z])[\._](\d+)\/(\d\d\d\d) => exo-open http://relevancy.bger.ch/php/aza/http/index.php?lang=de&type=simple_query&query_words=\1_\2%2F\3&top_subcollection_aza=all&from_date=&to_date=&zoom=YES&
Created attachment 2728 my xfce4-clipman-actions.xml Additional idea: The online collection could also allow to bundle actions. The attachment is a little set of actions for swiss law. Any swiss lawyer would be happy to own them, but they don't (yet) :-)
Not many feedback here, I'll keep the idea open.
