I have tha library just in "/usr/lib/do/". And works fine! :) Using Gnome Do in Ubuntu Gutsy, that path for Do.Addins library is wrong. I have tha library just in “/usr/lib/do/”.

Either the && or the ; should be there, but not both. The line's right on the launchpad page, wrong on http://do.davebsd.com/?q=content/download. Nice little bit of software!

I have no idea what happened! I suggest you make an abstract "WebSearchCommand" class, and then you could easily create new web search commands by subclassing it, and implementing a SearchURLWithQueryString method. This way you could create your Wikipedia, del.icio.us, etc commands in 5-10 lines each. “I got a permission error when I ran gmcs” - weird. I have no idea what happened!

Thanks for spelling this out. I was able to make some simple changes to the template and search Wikipedia and my del.icio.us bookmarks. I tried to set this up for ubuntuforums.org but I'm not sure how to convert my text into their searchid. I did have a little trouble getting this to work. I had installed Gnome-Do through Synaptic and I got a permission error when I ran gmcs. I removed it and then built from the trunk and it worked fine. Is this normal or is this a lack of understanding on my part? Awesome. Thanks for spelling this out.

I hadn't realized that commands actually came up in the first pane. I thought only IItems could. This opens up some possibilities. Thanks for taking a sec for this quick intro.

It seems more logical to type "Google blah". Let's say I want to send an IM to someone whose screen name is Gimp or something. Rather than having to type Gimp (in which case I would get either the GIMP or their name, I find it more logical to do "im gimp" for the IM and "gimp" for the program. Just my opinion obviously.
