I want to add OmniFocus Clippings support to Thunderbird running on Mac OS X (10.6 and above). Presuming it doesn't already exist (I can't get it to work--no references on the web to it working), what tools/references do I need to complete the job? I can download and build TB ok; the pre-existing guides on how to make TB add-ons/extensions will help me there; it's the "Mac OS X Services programming" (or whatever is required to get TB to "talk" to OmniFocus via the "OmniFocus: Send to Inbox" service; see this screenshot) that I don't know how to manage. If possible, pls also include pointers to where in the TB code base I need to update.
Ultimately, I understand a "Thunderbird" entry must be shown via the OmniFocus Clippings preference dialogue window...?
I've logged a TB "bug" plus started a discussion at OmniFocus forums.
I want to update my installed TB instance as quickly as possible. I'm happy to simply hack a downloaded src code branch (from TB's mercurial or whatever) and re-apply a patch for each TB version upgrade... assuming this feature add is not cumbersome. I don't yet have any aspirations to create a full-fledged TB extension/add-on.
fwiw. I was once a professional software developer (C, C++, Java, Python and several other languages mostly on Unix/Linux, including "large system integration" projects) and am now mostly just a "business person," but I re-pickup coding if/as need be for special projects. Which I'm considering doing now.
