Bug Description

There is a firefox extension for the uploader, but users of Epiphany are out of luck. Epiphany has a Python API, so this should be easy to implement.

An epiphany extension that reports the current URL (in the forteground tab) to $HOME/.gnome2/epiphany/currentURL implemented using the Epiphany Python API.

In order to use this:

sudo apt-get install epiphany-extensions
copy the rescuetime.py and rescuetime.ephy-extension either to $HOME/.gnome2/epiphany/extensions or /usr/lib/epiphany/2.20/extensions
restart epiphany
select Tools->Extensions select the RescueTime extension.

done

Alright, added the extension to release 36. I'm not seeing the URLs show up in my dashboard, though. Instead I see a block of time listed as "epiphany". I think we'll need to ask the RescueTime guys to add Epiphany to their list of browsers, so that it will show the extended info instead of the application name.

Alright, Joe just sent me a reply saying Epiphany should be considered a browser now, and future data uploaded to RescueTime should show the URLs. Please keep posting bugs if you have any problems.
