Please fix this. Thanks.

Re: [Ext] Speed Dial 0.1 : 4-15-2007
G'Day,
I love Speed Dial, & have been using it for years now. I have between 900 & 1100 dials in 32 groups. I'm obsessed, but hey this is what Speed Dial is for.
Actually the number of dials I have is really immaterial to my query.
Q. What I was looking for is information on how to search out amongst the total dials for a specific dial.
Is there any way to search within Speed Dial for a specific dial, or even searching the total dials with a keyword?
I've searched the forum the best I could, & I can't seem to find any relevant reference to similar requests/questions.
Thanks heaps.......Bobby

I like Speed Dial & have been using it for some time. With version 0.9.6.8 I lost site icons and mini weather. With version 0.9.6.9 I got icons back but mini weather still brings up "unavailable". Anyone else? Any solution?

Hi Bobby,
You probably already know but just in case, there's a drop down menu from the magnifying glass in the search box with some options.
Cheers,

Re: [Ext] Speed Dial 0.1 : 4-15-2007
I'm at a loss at what you mean....I use Web Search Pro & there's no Magnifying Glass in the search box.
So I went to Customize & got the original Search Box with the Magnifying Glass, left click on the MG did a search (but no menu) & Right click on the MG just brought up a toolbars menu & no options that would even be considered.
No further menus at all??
So, anyone else know if there is any way to search within Speed Dial for a specific dial, or even searching the total/all dials with a keyword?
Have you ever done it?

That search box is from Scrapbook Plus, which you can clearly see in your own picture.

Re: [Ext] Speed Dial 0.1 : 4-15-2007
Ok,,,now you guys have this state of confusion all sorted out....
Does anyone out there know if there is any way to search within Speed Dial for a specific dial, or even searching the total/all dials using a keyword somehow?
I would appreciate it if whoever answers has actually done it successfully, or knows for fact that it isn't possible, & be able to document clearly either way.
Thanks

Firstly, I don't know if there is a way at all to search in SpeedDial, I suspect there isn't.
The only workaround I've found to search for dials or for a particular dial is:-
From SpeedDial Options, export html and then open the html file in Firefox and you then have a list of all dials. I then use Ctrl+F to find what I'm looking for.
Not ideal, but it works for me!

Re: [Ext] Speed Dial 0.1 : 4-15-2007
Excellent Work-Around!!
It's worked for me for a 7 out of 8 success rate because I never, ever leave the title as dynamic...I always rename, so all I have to do now is re-verify that each one has a logical keyword.
That's a great track record!
Now, unless the actual name doesn't contain a keyword, I'll make it mandatory to put a keyword at the titles end----the find search won't care where the keyword is actually located.
Thanks!!

Glad you liked it!
Maybe it could be tweaked a little by automating i.e. via a macro?

..................................................................WEATHER DIAL IS BROKEN
I don't know if this is where I should post this, but I cant find any other major SPEED DIAL Folder or Thread.
A few days ago my Speed Dials Weather Dial stopped working completely.
It was working fine up until then.
No locations work.
I'm using Speed Dial 0.9.6.9 via Fire Fox v14.0.1 on Windows 7 SP1
Thank you for this wonderful add-on, & this feature is very important to my daily life online.
Please post when this problem is anticipated to be resolved, because you don't really know how important something is until it's taken/lost/gone.
Well, I miss this very, very much!

Re: [Ext] Speed Dial 0.1 : 4-15-2007
Is there a way to have a tab with dials of a different size?
What I mean is: can I set a dial to span multiple columns?

How I Use Speed Dial
We got rid of cable TV (and telephone - saving $120 a month!) about a year ago and now Speed Dial has become my "tuner." To keep it simple for myself, I use only Firefox for streaming and keep it up on my 2nd monitor as a TV. Anything on Netflix I watch regularly or want to remember to watch, I put on my home page (which is set to SD). Same with any other streams I run into (see image below). I have already donated twice in the years that I have used SD, but since it is such a big part of my daily life, I would be happy to donate again if it were streamlined a bit more. Thank you SOO much for SD!

Suggestions
- Edit Dial
- allow DEFAULT size - the pop-up eventually (computer restart?) changes back to a long window after I have resized it
- Edit Dial > LAYOUT > Scaling
- allow DEFAULT options - I always use "Fit both" so would be handy if that option was always checked
- Edit Dial > CROP
- allow DEFAULT options - I always crop thumbnails. Would love to streamline the steps so that if I click on Thumbnail Cropping the Crop Selector window automatically opens or something similar, for less clicks.
