I've been trying to figure out a bug that's reportedly been plaguing Shrunked for a month. I've only just managed to reproduce it, and I think I've finally solved the problem.
I really, really don't want to see any more Javascript for a few weeks. Thank God it's holidays next week and I can hang out with some humans for a change.
Over the past few weeks I've been working my butt off (NOT!) on new versions of Open With (v4) and Shrunked (v2.5).
Open With is undergoing a major rewrite to make it more flexible and better performing. So far I've eliminated large chunks of repetitive code. The next phase which is almost ready is moving the core of the addon into a javascript module so that all the heavy lifting is only performed once when needed (before, it would happen for each window you had open).
Shrunked has picked up some code contributed from some users - it now scales images with much better quality, and in the next version will handle EXIF data from digital cameras.
Shocking, yes I know, but I've actually been working on Shrunked. It now handles multiple file uploads (new to Firefox 3.6), is localized (thank you www.babelzilla.org), and has at last been approved at AMO, so you'll get updates, if I ever get around to working on it again.
According to AMO, 700 people use my addon, Shrunked. Despite the fact that it's been a month since release, less than 20% of them use the latest version, which is far superior to the previous versions. Here is why:
Like a lot of Mozilla things, I think AMO has a fair amount of potential. If only they'd spare the person-hours to make something decent of it.
A few changes added in recent days:
If you're wondering what happened to beta 2 (and I bet you're dying to know), I fixed up a flaw in b1 which could have damaged your profile. Probably wouldn't, but could.
Anywho, same link as before.
[edit] Shrunked 1.0b1 for Thunderbird 3 is also now available, get it from https://s19367.gridserver.com/software/addons/shrunked-tb@darktrojan.net.xpi.
