Now that SeaMonkey 2.1 has at last been released, I am no longer supporting any product based upon Mozilla's Gecko 1.9.1. That means users of Firefox 3.5, Thunderbird 3.0 and SeaMonkey 2.0, you won't get any new versions of my addons, and I'm not likely to answer your email. But let's face it, it's time you upgraded anyway.
This announcement makes me very happy.
I'm trying to hunt down a bug in Thunderbird 3.1 and Firefox 3.6 (possibly other versions) that's preventing Shrunked from working for some users. You can help by clicking on the following link and emailing me if you get an error message instead of the lovely Firefox wordmark. Let me know what browser (and version) and operating system (and version) you're using. Thanks!
I think that both of my add-ons Open With and Shrunked have one, maybe two, more releases in them. They've achieved all I ever set out to do, and a lot more - if it wasn't for thousands of users I would've stopped developing them ages ago. Here's what's left to do (probably not until closer to the release of Firefox 4):
The Shrunked options dialog needs to take advantage of some of the first code I ever wrote for Mozilla. This will make it incompatible with Firefox 3.5, but that doesn't really matter any more.
I'd also like to be able to remove the resampling code introduced in Shrunked 2.5, but Mozilla needs to do a better job of image resampling themselves first.
Open With has a fancy new options tab, replacing the cramped dialog box. I'm waiting to see how things pan out with the new about:addons page before I make final decisions on releasing that.
As always, thanks for using my software, and don't forget to send me some appreciation in currency form.
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.
