Shelf Description

Shelf looks at the current foreground application and shows information about the corresponding person in your Address Book Shelf is an app for MacOS that looks at the current foreground application, and tries to figure out if what you're looking at corresponds to a person in your Address Book. Nect, Shelf will display some things about them.Using ShelfJust run it. It'll sit in the background, and watch the foreground application. If it can tie something you're looking at (the current url in your web browser, for instance, or the target of an open chat) to a person in your Address Book, it'll open a window and show you their name and picture, and it'll try to fetch RSS feeds for any URLs in their address card.It's possible that you don't have a very deep address book (most people just have email addresses, the URL field is hidden by default in Address Book.app). If you want a demo, just download my VCard file and import it. Then when you look at this page Shelf should figure out that you're looking at me, and show you my recent Flickr photos, blog entries, etc. Here are some key features of "Shelf": Context: · Safari - looking at the foreground url, and for microformats in the source of the current page. · Firefox - looking at the foreground url. · Mail.app - From the email address of the sender of the currently selected email. · NetNewsWire - From the homepage url of the currently selected feed item. · Twitterrific - From the homepage or twitter page urls of the currently selected tweet. · Adium - From the IM username of the current conversation. · iChat - From the IM username of the current conversation. · Address Book - The currently selected person. Information: · Basic address book data - name, email address, real-world address, web pages. · Current Twitter status. · Current location and time according to Dopplr. · Last 4 Flickr photos. · Recent entries on their RSS feeds. · Recently-played last.fm tracks · Various other things What's New in This Release: · Can now extract URL clues from the foreground tab of Camino and Opera. Tested only on the latest release versions (Camino 1.6.1 and Opera 9.5). · Traditionally, the Shelf window hides itself if it has no context to display. Exposed this as an option, defaulting to true, for people who don’t want their windows vanishing on them. · The Dopplr module now displays the time in the person’s location properly according to your system timezone, rather than the GMT time where they are. · last.fm changed their XML order? Anyway, I now explicitly order the tracks in the client, most recent at the top. · Fixed a crashing bug if there were urls in your address book cards that didn’t begin ‘http://’. · Fixed a bug with unicode domain names. I suspect they’re still broken for matching purposes, but they no longer crash the app, so that’s an improvement. · Extract the HTML view template into an external file. Include jQuery, so I can start on the superfluous visual effects. Do almost all UI update work using JQuery-based javascript from the HTML template, rather than re-sending all the content every refresh. · Fixed various other UTF-8-related crashers.
