Automatic Update does not work: I forgot to specify an update link in the previous version

Does this mean it is fixed now, or not working now?

It will work when a new version of Duplicate Tab will be released (e.g. 0.4.1).
For automatic update to work an update URL has to be specified in the older version of the extension which is to be updated. And it wasn't specified in Duplicate Tab 0.3.x, so Firefox does not know of any updates for 0.3.x.

in version 0.3.2 Changelog :
"The tab which had focus before merging, has also focus after merging now."
it doesn't work for me, the last tab in the merge window get the focus.

This should be fixed in Duplicate Tab 0.4.

it doesn't fixed

[twanno]

it doesn't fixed

Oops I'm sorry , I tested it with the original version of miniT and I assumed the enhanced version used the same preferences. But, as is correctly stated in the movie Under Siege 2, assumption is the mother of all f*ck ups!
So tomorrow I'll release an update with the fix for this.

Duplicate Tab 0.4.1 is released, which should now fix giving focus to the correct tab.

[onemen]

now with Duplicate Tab 0.4.1 it's append the merge tabs to the previous window and preserve the focuse correct. so now the merge tabs go to the end.
but in Duplicate Tab 0.4 the merge tabs was inserted after the selected tab in the previous window
[i'm use miniT + with "open tab next to current" ON]

what i'm expecting is:
merge tabs should be inserted after the selected tab in the previous window, and the focus should be preserve.
i'm hope this isn't too much to ask for.

Duplicate Tab 0.5 released.
- Added ability to open a link in a duplicated tab.
- Added a hidden pref to position the Duplicate Tab menu items in the contextmenu of a tab.
- Added German locale (thanks to ReinekeFux).
- Fix for new command-line handling in recent nightlies.
- Merging of windows when miniT is installed now adds the tabs from the top window(s) next to the current open tab in the lowest window when miniT is set to do so.
- Fix selection of tabs for merging

I hope this is fixed the way you want, in this new release.

And maybe a way to choose where in the context menu the options to duplicate the tab, or merge windows options occur (i'd prefer the top of the menu).

You can add this line to your user.js file:

Code: Select all

/* change the position of the tab's Duplicate Tab context menu items */
user_pref("duplicatetab.contextMenuItems.position", 0);

(0 sets the menu items to the top position, 1 and 2 (because of separator) to second position, etc).

Also, I might be the only one, but I think it'd be nice to open a link in a new tab with the new tab keeping the history of the first.

Done (through context menu item)

well done

There appears to be a conflict with the new Tab Mix. With both installed, duplicate tab is not available in the context menu of the first tab opened only. It is available in all subsequent tabs. As I am not sure where the issue lies, I have reported it on the Tab Mix thread as well.

Duplicate Tab 0.5.1 Released
- Fix for tab recognition when other extensions extend the xul of a tab.

This should fix conflicts with Tab Mix.

Brilliant, thanks. I'll give it a go tomorrow at work.

Hey, thanks for this new version. I was just looking for some kind of option to make the duplicate tab appear right next to the current tab. I did an "update" on this extension, and lo-and-behold, you had added exactly that option! Very helpful.

[coxpaul]

Twanno... thanks much for this extension. It is exactly what I was looking for in function, and works perfectly. Cheers! pcc
