20 * JumpLists
22 * Jump lists are built and then applied. Modifying an applied jump list is not
23 * permitted. Callers should begin the creation of a new jump list using
24 * initListBuild, add sub lists using addListToBuild, then commit the jump list
25 * using commitListBuild. Lists are built in real-time during the sequence of
26 * build calls, make sure to check for errors on each individual step.
28 * The default number of allowed items in a jump list is ten. Users can change
29 * the number through system preferences. User may also pin items to jump lists,
30 * which take up additional slots. Applications do not have control over the
31 * number of items allowed in jump lists; excess items added are dropped by the
32 * system. Item insertion priority is defined as first to last added.
34 * Users may remove items from jump lists after they are commited. The system
35 * tracks removed items between commits. A list of these items is returned by
36 * a call to initListBuild. nsILegacyJumpListBuilder does not filter entries added that
37 * have been removed since the last commit. To prevent repeatedly adding entries
38 * users have removed, applications are encoraged to track removed items
39 * internally.
41 * Each list is made up of an array of nsILegacyJumpListItem representing items
42 * such as shortcuts, links, and separators. See nsILegacyJumpListItem for information
43 * on adding additional jump list types.

51 * Task List
53 * Tasks are common actions performed by users within the application. A task
54 * can be represented by an application shortcut and associated command line
55 * parameters or a URI. Task lists should generally be static lists that do not
56 * change often, if at all - similar to an application menu.
58 * Tasks are given the highest priority of all lists when space is limited.
