[Ext] superT 0.7.9 - tab browsing extension for Fx&Flock

RE: usability, I would strongly recommend having an tab-bar context menu option for undo tab close, as well as an entry in the edit menu. When I close all but one tab, and have the tab bar configured to disappear, I can't get to undo close without opening a second tab.

It was also in that function that I fixed the close button issue, made it look at the width of the first visible tab instead of the first tab.

sweet! you really are good!

i forgot to PM you my email address. #-o

i'll do that right now.

for known issue #2:
it has something to do with the tmt_tabsMenu_onPopupShown function
and this line of code:

Code: Select all

   var scrollbox = document.getAnonymousNodes(arrowscrollbox)[1];

it's hard to reproduce though because i don't know what triggers it.

how would you like your name to appear in the contributors list?

i rejected this for the same reason before, but you have a very good point.
i'll fix this asap.

i hope to roll out 0.5.1 with 2 bug fixes (thanks to mattcoz) and 2 usability fixes.

don't expect a release today though, or even tomorrow.
i'm making this extension in my free time, which isn't much.
i just happened to have quite a bit of time last week to roll out a release every day.

Thanks for working on this. I am happy to have undo close, as well as other things (like clone tab, etc).

Pat.

no problem. actually i just finished the code for it.

0.5.1 to be released soon.

@mattcoz: i fixed known issue #2.

i'm just waiting on your code for 0.5.2.

superT 0.5.1 has been released!

i'll change the title of this thread once it's confirmed that this version has no major bugs.

if you have superT 0.3.12.1 or higher installed, click 'find updates'.
hopefully it will say 'update now'.
if it does, great! please comment that it worked.
if it doesn't, please comment that it didn't and manually update to superT 0.5.1.

code changes
- fixed some little issues never posted about
- added 'undo close tab' menu item
- - adds it to the context menu not the tab bar context menu
- added hidden pref for close tab button
- - type "about:config" in the address bar
- - type "toomanytabs" in the box
- - double-click "extensions.toomanytabs.closetabbutton" to change it to true
- - hopefully this works
- - will make this a visible pref when i add version detection

never mind. known issue #2 hasn't been fixed

i just re-released superT 0.5.1 with a couple little fixes, so if you downloaded it before this post, please re-install it from the same link.

known issue #2 is still not fixed.

@mattcoz:
it might be helpful if you took a look at my superT 0.5.1 code and change stuff from there instead of from 0.3.12.

yeah, that's known issue #2.
i'm working on it.
i thought i had fixed it, but i had only fixed half the problem.
at least, there's no error in the javascript console anymore.

@Uncle Spellbinder:
when you first start up firefox with superT, the tab picker works, right?

I have the options for overflow, disable, set minimum tab length and show tab picker. No list of tabs like it use to be.

in 0.5, it worked, but now in 0.5.1, it doesn't?

even right when firefox starts?

Uncle Spellbinder · Post by **Uncle Spellbinder** » March 16th, 2006, 8:07 pm

Not in 0.5 or 0.5.1. Not even at Firefox start up.

that's really weird.
WFM, at least on startup.
i've only had it stop working once.

i'll add the ctrl+tab tab list back in as a temporary workaround.
it uses different code to generate the list, so it should work.

Good news, my fixes for those bugs make the tab bar disappear in 1.5!

A fixing I will go... a fixing I will go...
