[Ext] Firefox Showcase 0.9.1 : 1-16-2007

[captainc]

I have an issue with search in Window Mode. I can start typing to search, but not results ever show up. It does find results in Side Bar Mode though.

Hi,

since FF 4.0, FF Showcase doesn't seem to hide the tab bar anymore. Also I couldn't find any other extension that (reliably) hides the tab bar

Any ideas?

Thanks David.P

[denwah]

Any plans for having showcase show only the tabs from the currently-selected group? And any plans for having an option to display tabs in the sidebar from the top down, rather than vertically justified?

0.9.5.8 is announced to be ready, but not available - source is available but needs to be compiled. help?

[David.P]

Help! The FLST (tabflipping) functionality of Showcase has stopped working as of Firefox v.17.
Any thoughts?

Code: Select all

numberColumns = Math.floor(numTabs / numberRows);

complete function

Code: Select all

function mosaicCalculateBestGrid(width, height) {
  var retValues = new Array(2);
  var numberRows, numberColumns;
  var currentWidth;
  var numTabs = 0;
  var maxTabWidth = -1;
  var maxTabHeight = -1;
  numberRows = 1;
  var maxWidth;
 
  for (var i=0; i<processedWindows.length; i++) {
    var targetWindow = processedWindows[i];
    for (var j=0; j<targetWindow.processedTabs.length; j++) {
      if (!targetWindow.processedTabs[j].showcaseCanvasBox.hidden) {
        numTabs++;
      }
    }
// TODO: use fast way when not searching?
//    numTabs += targetWindow.processedTabs.length;

    if (targetWindow.showcaseLastGoodWidth > maxTabWidth) {
      maxTabWidth = targetWindow.showcaseLastGoodWidth;
    }
    if (targetWindow.showcaseLastGoodHeight > maxTabHeight) {
      maxTabHeight = targetWindow.showcaseLastGoodHeight;
    }
  }

  var firstIteration = true;

  do {
    numberColumns = Math.floor(numTabs / numberRows);
    if ((numTabs % numberRows) > 0) {
      numberColumns++;
    }
    currentWidth = width / numberColumns - thumbnailBorderWidth;
    var thumbHeight = height / numberRows - thumbnailBorderHeight;
    var widthForHeight = thumbHeight * maxTabWidth / maxTabHeight;

    if (currentWidth > widthForHeight) {
      currentWidth = widthForHeight;
    }

    if (firstIteration || (currentWidth > maxWidth)) {
      retValues[0] = numberRows;
      retValues[1] = numberColumns;
      maxWidth = currentWidth;
      firstIteration = false;
    }
    numberRows++;
  } while (currentWidth >= maxWidth);

  // Return information for proportions
  retValues[2] = maxTabWidth;
  retValues[3] = maxTabHeight;
  retValues[4] = numTabs;

  return retValues;
}

A small issue with left panel : when you select the option to show the "info page" by a right clic on a thumbnail, nothing happened.

[Brummelchen]

still crashing this line (l 4429 latest)

numberColumns = Math.floor(numTabs / numberRows);

probably an issue with switching modes of dwm.exe (aero/non aero)

Showcase is a really nice extension. Thanks!

One thing that I'd really like to be able to do is to search by default on title. Search on "Anywhere" is too general for my needs. I generally want to search on title and I might only resort to "Anywhere" after not finding something - but that's not likely.

Is there any way to set the default to be search on "Title" only?

For now I hacked this in by editing the file 'showcase.js' to change searchFindType and lastSearchFindType.

Thanks

Does anyone if it is possible to remove the space between the thumbnails? I want the thumbnails to appear more tightly grouped.

somehow my previous problem was solved, but showcase is not fully compatible to Firefox 36 and higher. i can use the general preview in a single overlay, but sidebar wont show anything. Please Update!

Same for Tab Sidabar, Mozilla broke something that worked fine.
That's a reason for staying on FF35.

Tab Sidebar ist long ago and was last compatible to v3.6 or v4. jesus - drop it.
nevertheless mozilla is moving from xul to html5 - i guess thats some reason

staying on old versions is stupid cause vulnerable. then go using the latest esr (now 31.4.0) and be happy.

TabSidebar is not dead ! Yet !!

The original extension had a good replacment that work til FF35 - tabsidebarreloaded.
It can be download from: http://www.electronplumber.com/tabsidebarreloaded/
Do you all know any other extension that put a tab preview on AIOS ?

[Brummelchen]

reloaded is not official known at AMO wether its functional or not. the original is pretty dead and at least i did only know about the official version. thank you for the reloaded.
(none have submitted it yet)

no, sorry, no alternative. showcase is afaik at least the only extension which can show a global popup - and this one is much faster than the tab groups (built in panorama)
