haiku/docs/userguide/en/tracker-add-ons.html
Joachim Seemer 077a475a14 * Added docs of applications:
CDPlayer and CodyCam (both work in progress), DeskCalc
* Started installing.html.
* Added a screenshot of Glyph+Subpixel rendering to Appearance prefs.
* Mentioned new setting "Monospaced Fonts Only" glyph hinting in Apperance prefs
* Mentioned sysinfo and listdev in bugreports.html as pointed out by scottmc.
* Some tweaks to the Haiku-doc.css.
* Put a link to http://www.haiku-os.org/community into welcome.html,
  removed the "(online)".
* Reorganized the file hierarchy to accommodate future translations. See thread:
  http://www.freelists.org/post/haiku-doc/Organizing-translations-of-User-GuideWelcome-Package.
* Added a userguide/languages.html that will serve as entry for the different
  translations.
  Since the welcome page is more or less only one page, we'll find another
  solution for that when the first translations are available.

<p>Applications can install add-ons so they can be invoked easily on a selection of files from Tracker. Only the add-ons that can handle a specific filetype are presented under <i>Add-Ons</i> from the context menu or the <i>File</i> menu of a Tracker window. Some add-ons don't necessarily need a file to work on and are thus always present.</p>
<p>Tracker Add-Ons, or links to applications that can act as add-ons, can be installed in three different locations (see topic <a href="filesystem-layout.html">Filesystem layout</a>):</p>
<table summary="layout" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr><td><tt>/boot/beos/system/add-ons/Tracker/</tt></td><td>&#160;&#160;&#160;</td><td> for system provided add-ons</td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>/boot/common/add-ons/Tracker/</tt></td><td>&#160;&#160;&#160;</td><td> for add-ons available to every user</td></tr>
<tr><td><tt>/boot/home/config/add-ons/Tracker/</tt></td><td>&#160;&#160;&#160;</td><td> for add-ons only available to yourself</td></tr>
</table>
<p>The file name of an add-on can be suffixed with a dash and capital letter, and is then available via keyboard shortcut. For example, <i>Open Target Folder-T</i> opens with <tt>ALT+AltGr+T</tt> (at least with my keymap, you may have a different key combination).<br />
Of course, you have to take care of possible shortcut collisions when deciding on a shortcut. You can't have the same for different add-ons.</p>
