Fast Dial 2.9 Issues
bluedog Sat, 09/13/2008 - 01:11
Just a couple of issues I've noticed with FD2.9.
My Bookmarks - not sure if it's anything to do with the upgrade, but when I went to My Bookmarks on UserLogos just now, there seems to be an error. The page is filled with what looks like red code with a big red error sign on the left hand side of the bookmarks and none of the bookmarks I had saved are useable.
Apply To All Folders - tried to apply my theme/background colours to all folders in FD options but it didn't work.
Add to Fast Dial in Context Menu - fantastic to see this feature back but I'm not sure if it's working properly. I added a couple of bookmarks using this option then had a look in FF Bookmarks to see if they were there. I couldn't see them in the FD Folder but when I looked in Recently Bookmarked they were there.
I much prefer this method of adding bookmarks, but wonder if you could take it a step further as in Speed Dial. Speed Dial as you probably know has two Toolbar Buttons - one which opens Speed Dial (I think you can actually select the Group you want to open) and another which (if I remember correctly) operates in the same manner as the context menu. If you want to add a bookmark, you can either -
Click on the Toolbar Button +sign which brings up a list of your Groups. Each Group in the drop down list has an arrow, so when you select which Group you want to add a bookmark to, a further drop down list appears beside the arrow and enables you to select which empty slot within that Group you want to add your bookmark to. This way you can either overwrite an existing bookmark or specify exactly which slot to add your bookmark to.
or
Right click on the tab which brings up the context menu, select add to Speed Dial and this gives you the same functionality as described above.
In FD at the moment, you can right click and select 'Add to Fast Dial', but you still have to go into FF Bookmarks to put it where you want it. (This was how I discovered the issue mentioned above - after I had added a bookmark or two this way, I went to see where they had been saved to as the only option available was to add to FD, so I was expecting to see them in the FD folder).

Are all your cells in Fast Dial in the correct place with images ?

I had a look at the post you referred to and I think what I am suggesting is similar to the feature Mafi0z has listed but is maybe a bit further expanded to enable the user to more precisely select exactly where a bookmark is saved to. Also, if I am reading it correctly, Mafi0z is suggesting the ability to select only one method in preferences, whereas in Speed Dial there is no restriction - you can use both the context menu and the toolbar button and either works just as effectively.

Почему я не могу отключить иконку на "Новой вкладке"?
И при закрытии теперь Fast Dial появляется в закрытых вкладках. Это плохо.
А в целом - это лучшее дополнение среди всех аналогов!!!
p.s. my english isn't good therefore i tell it in russia ;)

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 09/13/2008 - 16:31I just installed Fast Dial 2.9, and since I've enabled it, my address bar doesn't seem to work correctly. It doesn't update when I switch to a new page; sometimes the address listed stays the same, and sometimes the bar is just blank. Also, when I type in an address, it won't go to the new page. I'n order to go to a new page, I have to add a cell in fast dial, or find the page in my history.
This problem may not be related to fast dial, but so far since I disabled it, everything seems to be working OK again.

Have you tried installing Fast Dial 2.9 in a new Firefox Profile without any other extensions loaded ?
It would be interesting to see if it works...

this may sound weird - but when i close uTorrent, and reopen it - it fixes the problem..
maybe some sort of utorrent memory leak

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 09/13/2008 - 20:05I am now experiencing an issue with image scaling.
Images set up with in prior versions are crisp and clean.
Those same images applied in a new bookmark are fuzzy and blurry.
