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

chiaroscuro —Fri, 12/19/2008 - 15:20

_______________________________________________________________

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

---

To download please click here.

Thanks for the link Mafia_Penguin

For those who do not wish to see Favicons all the time, or for that matter help or Fast Dial logo please see here

---

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.

B6 is so much more powerful, I just lost all my logos, though.
Did you email the 7zipped copy, or an XPI, or a .Zip?

Yes the 2.15.7z is the one

---

This was a Version of Fast Dial that existed before the present 2.15 beta 5.

I find it much superior.

Sorry to hear about your logos though !

To select transparent for a colour in Appearances just right click on the little color box and the colour will be made transparent.
This is blindingly quick and great fun !

I test new Fast Dials on a separate profile.
Right now, for example, I have 2.15-6 on my testing profile, but 2.11 on my main profile.

Yes I understand
So persumably you made a FEBE full profile restore to the test profile and then loaded 2.15-6

Sorry about the logos though.
I seem to remember that it upgraded OK from v2.14.
Maybe I am wrong.

I think you will find once you have this Version set up that it is rock solid.
I use it as default.

I can't get FD to load the bookmark into the appropriate Group folder that I created. It always goes to the root FD page. Any suggestions? I did not have any problems with the previous version. As long as I had the group opened on another tab, the pages would be bookmarked into that group that was open.

Yes the little help button top right
And also click on FD Logo bottom right

All that was was work in progress.

Would have been great

Click on help and it takes you straight to Wikipedia :-)

Wrote this little bit of code to hide help except on hover.
Hide FD Logo
Show Favicons on Hover (too small to work properly)

Enjoy !

You don't want it staring at you all the time surely.
One does not need help at every moment.
Hover with the mouse and it will appear.
This is more discreet

And more attractive if you want to upload your FD Page to showcase !

Maybe this could become an option in the preferences menu....
Surely that would be best.

When I right click for the option to Add to FastDial, there is not submenu or pop out arrow / menu option. It's just Add to FastDial and that's it.

Yes of course that would be more elegant.

Similarly the option to show favicons on hover would be great.

Favicons look great when they appear with the title on hover.

Not so great sitting there and messing up the FD page all the time.

Hey thanks for the download link that is really great. :-)

Which Fast Dial Version are you using ?
Are you using Ubuntu ?

Yes, it is.
I actually signed up for it with 2 accounts, so 600 MB of free storage.
Unfortunately, they're supposedly going to shut it down before the end of the year.

Yes, it is!
Google Sites doesn't allow uploading of anything, or embedding of anything.
Google Sites is what will replace Google Pages.
Would you rather have http://chiaroscuro.googlepages.com or http://sites.google.com/site/chiaroscuro ?
It's an easy choice for me...
The 1st one.

I agree.
But both are good if you want to download an xpi. :-)

How do you find this Version ?

I am trying to post all the small improvements in Preferences on the title post.
