* Always wanting keyboard graphics for shortcuts, Jorge suggested simple borders for simplicity. Great idea! Added. * Added Jorge's rounded boxes for note/warning/stop plus symbols. * If anyone wants to fine tune esp. colours, go ahead. Jorge and I are both challenged in that department. :) * A few small corrections and reformatting here and there. * Excluded the topic "Installation" from the contents until it's further along. git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@29269 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

<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 <span class="menu">Add-Ons</span> from the context menu or the <span class="menu">File</span> 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><span class="path">/boot/beos/system/add-ons/Tracker/</span></td><td>   </td><td> for system provided add-ons</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td><span class="path">/boot/common/add-ons/Tracker/</span></td><td>   </td><td> for add-ons available to every user</td></tr>
|
|
<tr><td><span class="path">/boot/home/config/add-ons/Tracker/</span></td><td>   </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, <span class="menu">Open Target Folder-T</span> opens with <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">AltGr</span> <span class="key">T</span> (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>
