Enhanced History Manager 0.5.8.05 (Dec 28 update)

My Yute · Post by **My Yute** » August 3rd, 2004, 10:15 am

I can only get the history manager to open in the sidebar since I"ve installed the newest version (0.4.0). How do I get it to open in a seperate window again?

It should open a seperate window by either MiddleClick/MouseWheelClick on the Button or u can select it from the "Go" menu....

I have no middle click (I think hitting both buttons at the same time is suppsed to simulate thi behaviour tho).
But that didn't work and I don't like the Go Menu so I usually keep that hidden. Anyway I can get it to open in a new window using the Ctrl+Shift+H hotkey?

Maybe if you added an option to allow it to open in a window instead of a sidebar for those who like it. Like a check on/off thing.

eg add the following lines to userChrome.css:
Code: Select all
#hcpm-button {
list-style-image : url("YourIcon.png") !important; }

toolbar[iconsize="small"] #hcpm-button {
 list-style-image : url("YourIcon.png") !important; }

toolbar[iconsize="small"] #hcpm-button[checked="true"]
url("YourIcon.png") !important; } 
Then copy the icons into the profile directory's chrome folder.

THank you. It works. My only problem is that the displayed icon is bigger than the others in the toolbar. Do you know how I can force it to be the same size as the others or where are the desired size informations ??

Next version (to be released next day or so) will add a pref to Swap button action. Meaning, If u enable the pref then Clicking the Toolbar button (and therefore the Hotkey too) will change from the default (open in Sidebar) behavior to open History Manager in a Window; correspondingly middleclick will open in the sidebar instead of a window.

It depends on the icon dimensions and some other things such as the theme u are using etc. .... U probably can adjust it somewhat using CSS... I would suggest trying to see what the theme's icon sizes are and trying to make sure your icon is the same dimensions. Take a peek at the CSS files in your theme for specs on adjustment that might be added to your userChrome.css to manipulate the Enhanced History Manager button look

Wow, thank you so much for working on adding a 'swap' feature AnonEmoose!

This new feature is the perfect solution for everyone (as each person can just choose the option suits them best).

Thanks for the cool extension

Now I no longer have to fake it by copying history.dat to my Mozilla install to get the dates

Nit: 0.4.1 seems to think it's compatible with Firefox 1.9+ for some reason...

Request: Could you move the menu item to View -> Sidebar? (I have the Go menu hidden, and don't like having too many toolbar buttons around. Currently using the hotkey.)

Tip: You can overlay the <key> - as long as it has the same id. Put it as a direct child of the <overlay>. (You have to import the right DTD though for &history.commandKey; to be defined) You will have to set the command attribute to the id of your menu item.

Thank you

You know what they say about pleasing everybody all of the time...

Oh, as a reference: It's bad to uninstall an extension while the sidebar it provides is still visible - the browser breaks until you re-install the extension. Of course, this is completely not your fault - it's <abbr title="problem exists between keyboard and chair">PEBKAC</abbr>.
