Fast Dial Version 2.15-6 (NOT 2.15 beta 6)

_______________________________________________________________

It could I think be argued that Fast Dial Version 2.15-6 (NOT 2.15 beta 6) is a superior Version of Fast Dial to 2.15 beta 5 or 7 or 8.

It pre-dates Fast Dial 2.15 beta 5 in spite of it's number.

This Version if you want was a direct developement from Fast Dial 2.14 with bugs being resolved and lots of detailed improvements being made in Preferences

So it was a work-in-progess Version being developed by telega, mafi0z, and myself

It differs from v2.14 in so much that there is no longer a search bar

---

I am very attached to this Version and would like to make it better known.

The main reason for wanting to share this Version is to show the excellent Preferences and Properties Menus

Thanks for the link Mafia_Penguin

Bugs

There are a number of bugs, but this Version is still useable

Bug 1.
Hit the FD toolbar button and you get a copy of the root with a back cell
Solution don't use the FD button.
This is not noticeable on a normal Firefox boot up.

Bug 2
If you select in Preferences, in "open in", other than default or current Tab, the back cell will not show in any folder.

Bug 3
If you run Tab Mix Plus with this Version the Home button ceases to work.

Bug 4
But not only to this Version, if you use IE Tab address bar ceases to function

Seem to be more important bugs in Ubuntu

Can't create Folder

Logos will not save

Improvements on 2.14

Autohide settings highly configurable by user in Preferences.
Includes the ability to disable Autohide.

Ability to load the back arrow of ones choice to the back arrow cell.
This is great. Makes one able to configure one's Fast Dial exactly to one's own wishes.

Add to Fast Dial in Main context Menu now works perfectly.
That is all folders are shown.
To save to the root folder click on the words "add to Fast Dial"
Perfect

Preferences

1. to select transparent as a colour, right click color setting.
This is a tremendous improvement. Set up your page in seconds. Watch it change in front of your eyes. Brilliant.

2. to clear any custom image right click on the the three dots ... and the image will be gone.
Fast. Useful.

3. in general/thumbnail one can increase the cell number simply by clicking on the small arrows. No longer a drop down menu with a maximum of 10.
This is very useful. Saves messing around typing in numbers and making mistakes.

---

You will also notice a small help button top right, as well as a Fast Dial logo bottom right.

This was all work-in-progress to improve Support.
