List of feature requests (with slides)

Here's a set of slides from a Firebug conference.

Slides 4-13 are essentially a list of feature requests for me.

I'll highlight some key ones but I'd like them all.

Slide 4: Ability to persist data across page loads

Slide 5:

css selector search (already requested)
Break on Mutation
Break on Attribute Change
Break on Child Addition or Removal
Break on Element Removal

Slide 7: Break on property change of an object

Slide 8: JSON/XML explorer with an external API. (The ff extension I wrote, that we use internally, is based on this. It allows me to clean some things that aren't 100% standard json/xml before I pass them to the parser.)

Slides 11-12: Ability to export network data to standardized format

Slide 13: Ability to view events attached to elements

Some of these have already been requested previously but I didn't think giving you some visual cues would hurt anything. Thanks team.

+ tiled view or multiple instances for parallel debugging. Sometimes it is easier to work with 2 copies of a page at the same time.

A number of these are already planned or in the pipeline. Improving search for example is something we want to do (text, regex, CSS selectors, Xpath), breaking on events, etc. I'd like to publish a short-ish term roadmap fairly soon. The Core work on the first round of ECMAScript debugger improvements is done (just needs to be integrated) and we are now focusing on improving the Network inspector. The client side work has to be done as well of course.

Some things we already have from that document of course like colourised JavaScript source and a Network Inspector which supports HTML5 Web Storage.

We had a number of requests in our survey for exporting network data. HAR was mentioned a couple of times and I think it makes sense. We just need to find time to do it (or a volunteer to help on the DFL project). It would be much more useful when/if Opera Dragonfly has access to the File I/O API for saving data to disk.
