MenuManipulator 20140526

It worked, thank you very much. I've been using FireFox for just over a week now, and let me say, the added extensions make it sooooooooo sweet. And I love the support provided everywhere, people do love to help. I can't find such support for IE, and forget about extra features using extensions.
The only set back, for me, withe FireFox, is how long it takes to load. I know I have lots of extras, but it was slow even when I first installed it. The only good thing about IE, is how fast it fires up.

I don't understand the problem
Even I tried in new profile and re-insalling FF
But problem exists

Any idea?

Anything in the JavaScript Console (set javascript.options.showInConsole to true in about:config)?

It is considerable hard to investigate a problem if the were no errors reported in Tools > JavaScript Console, but you could try to disable (right click > Disable) other extensions to see if there is a conflict.

Many Many Thanks':D'
Very Happy dorando

Finally I got it

Crtl Tab Preview is conflicting with Manu manipulator

I have 53 extensions so it was so hard to identify which extension is conflicting with MM

Thanks once again for your help

As posted before this is due to a core bug. This is a good example of why it is important to correctly follow published web standards (<a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/getattribute.asp">MSDN</a> at least notes the incorrect implementation in IE, the <a href="http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/index.php?title=DOM:element.getAttribute&oldid=21774">Gecko DOM Reference</a> doesn't do that).

Hi.

I was prompted to update my extension to 20060319.0.1 which I did. Now it keeps prompting me to update it to 20060319.1.0.

But whenever I select ok and restart it doesn't update and I'm still prompted to update.

Any ideas.

confirmed.

it's because dorando made a typo in his update.xml feed for update notifications.
he typed 1.0 instead of 0.1
a little mistake, no big deal, it'll be fixed soon.

Thanks for reporting it, should be fixed now.

My menu changes are constantly resetting. Any ideas why? What is the point of having an extension to change your menus if those changes won't stick?

Wishlist (not including the item listed immediately above which is 10 times more important than these):

* WYSIWYG -- editing in the actual menus. Presumably we would need restore points in case we wanted to revert to an older version. See next item. This option would be enabled only while a special window is open. Closing the window causes the menus to operate normally.

* Restore points -- for in case the changes are worse that what you started with and Resetting a menu does not restore the menus to what you want

* Item properties -- Rather than having to know all the various tags, it would be better if there was a properties window available that would list all options. Options like Hidden would be represented as a checkbox. Something like Label would be a text box.

* In the existing editor, having it remember whether items are collapse or expanded would help. Currently, if you restart MenuManipulator, it forgets that.

@ Will Pittenger

I completely agree with the wishlist. Those are exactly what is going to make MenuManipulator a very robust extension.

@ dorando
Keep up the good work.

Which Application and which version (for both application and extension), also are there any errors in Tools > JavaScript Console (set javascript.options.showInConsole in about:config)?

Live editing would require major changes and might be problematic to implement. I'll look into it at a later time.

I'll consider it once I've added the ability to save the MenuManipulator changeset outside prefs.js.

Setting some common attributes will be simplified in a future version, but listing all possible attributes wouldn't be possible as any attribute would be valid (but likely hasn't any effect, unless there are any styles targeting it).

On my todo list.

MenuManipulator 20140526
