[ext] ScrapBook+ 1.x

[haselnuss]

Page two can not be saved. Dowloading both pages seperately and combine them afterwards is the only solution at the moment, if you want a single entry in the sidebar, at the moment.

v1.6.12.22 has been released. Every user of Firefox 3.5 should update, as all known problems of SB+ in Firefox 3.5 have been fixed.

[SeaLion]

Scrapbook has been updated too. Does this mean Gomita is still around?

+ Now compatible with Firefox 3.5.
+ Added Romanian localization.
+ Added Turkish localization.

[Thomas_BA]

Now we have TWO Scrapbook add-ons which are compatible with FF 3.5.
I think that the developers should merge.

I don't have any problem with there being two Scrapbook extensions potentially competing with each other. It seems like Gomita has pretty much moved on. The original Scrapbook hasn't received even a bug fix since last November, and its being marked compatible with Fx 3.5 looks like it was done as an afterthought. Scrapbook+ was properly updated before Fx 3.5 was released, and bugs caused by its Fx 3.5 installation have been fixed in a timely manner. My only beef is that AMO won't push its updates because it's still marked Experimental.

That said, I don't think our opinions matter here, Thomas. Merging would be up to the developers. How does there being two competing versions create a problem for you? Just curious.

[SeaLion]

I agree. I'm with haselnuss and fully understand why Scrapbook+. I just wanted to understand what's up with Scrapbook. It updates, yet he is out of reach..
I mean, was it really Gomita, is it possible (i really don't know) for someone at AMO update Scrapbook without Gomita?

@Thomas_BA:
I tried to contact him. I never wanted to release another version of ScrapBook. But Gomita ignored my emails. As some functions of his extension are slow (sort an already sorted archive with ScrapBook and with ScrapBook+ and you'll see), I decided to release an improved version of ScrapBook. Meanwhile, many faults still present in ScrapBook are fixed in ScrapBook+. Drag&drop of tabs on the sidebar only works in ScrapBook+ and not in ScrapBook. I tested the new version of SB.

[Thomas_BA]

I agree that SB+ solved many bug and problems from SB. I don't have a problem with 2two SB as i will choose the + version.
I am thinking only of a combined force of two developers which can speed up SB regarding features and stability.

[Dr.S.]

I do like ScrapBook+. It does what it's promising, beeing faster than the original SapBook extension.
Keep up the good work!

HI haselnuss, any thoughts on renaming "ScrapBook+" to "ScrapBookPlus" or "ScrapBook Plus" ?
It would be more conventional, easier to find (when searching) and no more confusing.

Somewhat like "Tab Mix Plus"....

[haselnuss]

Anybody else, who supports the change of the name?

Anybody else, who supports the change of the name?

This chane probably makes it more searchable from Google as well.

[Alan Baxter]

I support a name change too.

[SeaLion]

To me it's the same, but it's probably better for you and Scrapbook+.

Edit: but leave it as ScrapBook+ in the menu.

[haselnuss]

Why should I rename the extension, but not the entry in the menu bar of Firefox?
