new TB extension: control shift-del behaviour

[drakosha]

It happened to me several times when i removed by mistake an important mail. So i built this. U can make shift-delete work as usuall, as regular delete or disable it at all. Further development will include "smart" mode which will ask if you are trying to shift-del more than specified amount of messages, configurable by the user.

I tested it on TB 0.7.3.
It's my first extension, so if anyone has a improvement/coding/etc suggestions i'll most appreciate it.

I've put a new version there, which enables to ask for user confirmation if more than X messages are going to be purged. (X is configurable via preferences).

I have no more plans for this extension, but please feel free to comment/ask for more fatures.

What about having a confirmation message when deleting one message ?
Setting "More than x messages" option to 0 doesn't work

Yes, that's basically the only thing missing in this extention.
I could really use such a feature and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Adding it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

It's working:)
Thanks a lot!

Well, now the extension lives on mozdev.org, go:

There's now 0.2c version on mozdev, which supports Thunderbird 1.0. Enjoy

I'd recommend using the official extension version format, as specified by mozilla.org: major[.minor[.release[.build]]], where major/minor/release/build are integers, e.g. "0.1", "1.0.0.20041207" or "0.5.6". Using "0.2c" might break the extension manager some time, and won't be accepted by update.mozilla.org.

[drakosha]

thanks, can you please give me link to document where it's explained?

[jensb]

Sure: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox ... sions.html , chapter "Firefox Version Format" way down the page. Although the page fails to mention the build number (fourth part), it's official, too.

new version is available om nozdev: 0.2.4
http://downloads.mozdev.org/purgecontro ... _0.2.4.xpi

* using my own dialog window which has "NO" as default button
* version numbering copatible with mozilla update

I installed this, for which thanks, over the previous version but the default button appears to be "YES".

Actually, I think I prefer that but after I make a mistake I might change my mind. How about letting the user choose (options) which button should be the default?

Thanks again, this is a really helpful extension. RDL

[drakosha]

RDL: thanks, i'll do it in the next version. And i'll recheck, the default supposed to be "No"
