Request New Features

Please describe new feature requests here

Sugarize Firefox

It would be greatly appreciated if someone can develop a Sugarized version of Firefox! I don't think the collaboration tools are necessary (since the built in browser already does this), but people keep bringing it up as an issue why they don't like Sugar. Help, someone! That, or add tabs to the browse activity and a better Bookmarking mechanism.

• I use a "sugar coated" version of SeaMonkey; which is a full suite (browser, email, etc). Might Seamonkey be a better option due to its (as I understand) smaller footprint & greate number of options? -- User:AuntiMame 22 May 2008 16:05

• The Sugar Browser is actually based on the Firefox guts (xulrunner), but the UI has been developed for Sugar. You can find more details here. There have been many requests, like yours, to improve it by supporting more features that "normal" browsers have. I agree that tabs and bookmarks would be welcome additions and useful for children. -- Ridderman 20:53, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Sugar Control Panel

I would like to see a GUI control panel... I am discovering new features to customize through terminal, however, a lot of them could be easily accessible through a simple control panel GUI. I think this would help newer users a great deal.

• Date, Time & Timezone
• Language
• User Accounts
• WiFi settings
• Jabber server(s) - ability to input multiple servers for different user groups (schools, cities, countries, etc.).
• Add/Remove Programs
• System Updates
• Desktop GUI settings
• What else?

Chat (Jabber)

Ability to add multiple Jabber servers (connect with functionality detailed above) and switch between them in the chat program.

From Wiki:

But what if you wish to connect to one of several jabber servers because you belong to several communities/SIGs? I can live with one-at-a-time, but it would be wonderful if I could pick from a list I've created. Or at least a list of jabber servers I've previously connected to. How about a syntax for "choice <n> from file <x>" and "show me choices in file <x>"? -- davewa

Browse

I cannot copy a link, I can't save a jpg, the Sugar OS changes the filename of a file which it does not recognise, the directory system is hidden, there is no predictive text when typing URL's or usernames, there's no tabbed browsing, there's no cookie, proxy or popup control.
