Introduction

WIP

Project Description

Write an extension for Thunderbird that allows the user to start a slideshow preview of all images in the current message. The feature would work like this: when a mail arrives with pictures attached, a button or some other UI is added to the message that allows the slideshow to begin. When clicked, the images are shown one after the other, properly scaled to fit in the window. Consider using Canvas to do the custom graphics, and take a look at this existing Thunderbird extension for ideas.

Project Details

Provides more depth than the Project Description. This is the place for technical discussions, project specs, or other details. If this gets very long, you might consider breaking this part into multiple pages and linking to them.

Project News

This is where your regular updates will go. In these you should discuss the status or your work, your interactions with other members of the community (e.g., Seneca and Mozilla), problems you have encountered, etc.

Put detailed technical information into the Project Details page (i.e., update it as you go), and save this section for news about participation in the project.

Bugzilla

Currently found no bugs on bugzilla that specifically relates to my project. The following are the closest I can find that may help my project.

  1. Bug 370792 – Improvements to the new attachment UI - I will need to add a button or some sort to start the slideshow. The attachments are displayed in the pane below the message.
  2. Bug 218999 – Thunderbird should use a tabbed interface - Currently TB doesn't use tabs. But one idea I got was maybe put the slideshow in a new tab to switch between attachment and the slideshow
  3. Bug 44135 – Allow preview of attachments in mail compose window - This is similar to the project. As you attach pictures in the compose window, to display a preview of the pictures.
  4. Bug 321325 – attachment panel taller than needed - Talks about the attachment pane. Might be helpful. Wondering how they got it to display in list view though.
  5. Bug 244459 – Drag and drop ical (.ics) attachments from mail onto calendar - A link jminta posted on my blog that would be helpful
