Conversions ain't easy
Posted 20 November 2005 in lifeI've spent the past two hours trying to turn the Northwestern Webmail Enhancer into a Firefox extension, and so far I've had mixed results. First I'd like to say that the Greasemonkey Compiler is a fantastic tool, and has greatly simplified my work. However, I've run into two problems:
-
Directory integration no longer works because two Greasemonkey convenience functions (GM_setValue and GM_getValue) are no longer available. I'm going to have to do some reading on how to save extension settings.
-
There are some really odd things going on with the message index rendering now. I absolutely can't account for the problem. It works as a Greasemonkey script. It doesn't work as an extension.
I'm really wanting to avoid feature regressions, so it may be a while before I add new features. I think my immediate concern is to get the current feature set working.
