MR Tech's Local Install 4.6.4 (4-20-06)

[Neo Bahamut]

Ever since I've installed the extension, whenever I install a new extension, it shows another Firefox window (if I have another open) when it finishes installing, and that other window disappears from the taskbar until I use Alt+Tab to switch to another window in Windows. There is no problem if I only have one FF window open.

I forgot to add that child windows, such as extensions, dTa!, downloads, etc. are not switched to. Only browsing windows.

em/tm windows in columns

The themes at http://www.geocities.com/alfredkayser/mozilla/index.htm (all by Alfred Kayser) used to force a tiled layout onto the EM window. I hated it because I could not see the full description. Mel attempted to override with one of his hacks that by making the tiles full width. However, that was clunky at best. The latest versions of those themes gave up on the tiled layout. .

Not realy a question related to your extention but more to mine, what is the code to get buttons to apear under "customise toolbar/navigational" in Netscape. Your extention dose this, and I can't get mine to.

I use MR Tech Local Install 4.6.4 in Firefox 1.5.0.2 on Windows XP Pro.

I frequently use Local Install's Extensions > Tools > Find Updates to search for updates for my extensions.

Unfortunately, this relatively harmless menu item is located near Enable All, Disable All, and Make All Compatible -- all of which can be a hassle to undo if accidentally clicked. (My laptop's cursor can lag or move unpredictably when the CPU or RAM comes under a heavy load, and as a result, the wrong target can end up getting clicked. Other users might have iffy mouses or touchpads -- or they might just accidentally click the wrong item.)

I propose adding a confirmation dialog to Enable All, Disable All, and Make All Compatible.

Thanks for a great extension!

There is a "Find Updates" button near the bottom of the window. I have mentioned to Mel that it would help if that button bar could be moved to the top of the window.

Mel: Did you make any progress towards moving that bar up?

Just read your posting and have pushed up a "full" dev version:

Could you make it hide disabled extensions in the options toolbar button and EM menubar?

[mrtech]

you can just select Tools|View|Enabled Only and it should remember the selection for next time.

Unless I'm missing something this works only for the EM list not for the options.

The current dev build allows users to hide the button bar along the bottom of the TM/EM windows. However, I want to keep it, but move it up top.
