chromeregjump's Issues

Make the options page pretty!

It's a basic HTML with Bootstrap css slapped on it, but I'd like it to be more goregous :)

Hide the regjump console window

Right now the console window is visible for a brief moment. Perhaps ask @markrussinovich to implement a switch for opening silently?

Figure out upgrade story with regards to native host (needs to be re-registered)

One possibility is that the native host itself will perform the upgrade:
on upgrade, extension will ping the host, and it will place itself in the registry using new location.

Open a web page to download RegJump from Sysinternals

See if possible to open in Chrome directly instead of via PowerShell.

"Unable to communicate with RegJump"

The 'Verify' button still shows "Unable to communicate with RegJump. Please make sure you follow the installation instructions above.", even after I 'did' follow the steps. What can I do next to debug my problem?

a proposal to make a 'mklink' of regjump in the desired folder (instead of copying it), for people who already have it.

@echo off
pushd %CD%
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('where regjump') do @set REGJUMP=%%a
if /I "%REGJUMP%"=="" ( do @echo regjump not found. If installed, add path to PATH environment variable. & pause & exit 0 ) else (
	mklink "regjump\regjump.exe" "%REGJUMP%"
	REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Google\Chrome\NativeMessagingHosts\com.hmemcpy.chrome.regjump" /ve /t REG_SZ /d "%~dp0nativehost.json" /f
	)
popd
echo on
exit

Could you please check it
Thanks

Automatically recognize links to registry in a page

Eg, find all HKLM/XXXX and replace them with clickable links

Consider alternative methods of distributing the host app

perhaps a squirrel/one-click download

Use regjump.exe from a common location, specify location in the options

Hide context menu when selected text is NOT a registry path

Since registry paths may contain spaces, perhaps the best way is to naively check that the selected text starts with, e.g.:

HKLM
HKCU etc...
HKEY_*

RegJump will handle actual partially-selected text.
