Full Adobe AIR compatibility

[redic]

Are there any plans to make Ext run in Air OOTB (without predefining templates, date formats)?

As I first saw the roadmap for 2.1 with "Additional support for AIR platform" on it, I thought this would mean what I mentioned above. But IMHO, nothing has changed from 2.0.2 to 2.1, not a single line in the ext-air.js file (although it has been marked as 'done' on the roadmap). :-/

Ext and Air are a perfect match, but they are not working as nice as they could together.

P.S: I Love Ext, even under GPL! ;)

I agree with you. I hope Ext developers will interest about this topic.

I have been trying to work out a way to do this when i have spare time (which isnt often).
Probably the best way to deal with the problem is to extract all of the problem functions from Ext and place them into a javascript file that is loaded into a hidden iframe. then all those functions in the Ext source would be replaced with stubs that point to the iframe functions via the sandbox bridge interface.
The idea is pretty simple, but getting it to work in a seemless fasion without hacking up the Ext source gets tricky. ideally one would just include a couple extra files and then any Ext app would work perfectly in Air.

I'm really waiting for this! =P~

There are only a few things that keeps Ext from running flawlessly in Air. All the other ('big') Frameworks (Dojo 1.1, jQuery 1.2.6, MooTools 1.2, ...) just fixed this.

But I really think/hope that in the next Ext release(s) this will be fixed too. ;)
