jonsonroth: I can confirm that the window and tab options are working in the latest development version.

What extensions did you see conflicting with ScribeFire?

Thanks for the info! Just so you are aware of it, I backtracked to 1.4.7 and all three options work fine now. So either something is wrong with 1.4.8 or one of the other FF extensions that got automatically upgraded clashes with it. I happened to notice that some specific extensions affect the behavior of ScribeFire 1.4.8 and had to uninstall them for now.

I’m crossing my fingers that I won’t have a problem with the final version of the new tabbed interface (ver 2.0?). I’ve been dreaming of that one, but still need to have the “window” option due to lack of vertical screen space.

Sorry for all the comments. I’m extremely frustrated, and now I’m pissed because I can’t seem to go back to an older version of ScribeFire. Every time I follow the link to an older version over at an Mozilla Addons page, I only get a button for 1.4.8.

Please clue me in here.

I’m not sure if I have another Firefox extension that is clashing, but I no longer can use all features of Scribefire. I’ve uninstall all new FF extensions that were installed around the same time that I accidentally installed 1.4.8. Before, I could use “tab”, “window”, and “browser” all at the same time. Now, I can only get one option to work – the first one I try. The rest just “spin” endlessly and never show up.

Any clues? This is making me miserable and had reduced my productivity. I’m tempted to uninstall ScribeFire, but am worried about losing all my “notes”.

ooops. I meant “window”, not “swindow”.

I accidentally upgraded yesterday to this automatically in Firefox 2.0x and suddenly i can no longer use either the “swindow” or “tab” options. I thought another 2-3 extensions might be affecting things, so I removed them and rebooting Firefox, but to no avail. I’m seriously hoping I’ve missed something, else hoping the tabbed release comes out soon. (I can’t afford to monkey with the pre-release.) Otherwise my productivity is going to drop as a result.

I have a few suggestions that would make ScribeFire great, not just good as it is now.

1) First, create a tabbed interface. In the middle pane, there should be tabs for the post you are working on now and previous posts you open, etc. Make it so all of these things open in new tabs and tabs can be X’d out just as the tabs in firefox can. Make them reorderable, etc. Just make them work like the tabs in firefox, but EVERY link you click on in the right sidebar opens in a new tab, while the ones in the left sidebar are already tabs themselves, so think of those as vertical categories.

2) Add support for the native blogging service UI. One easy way to do this is to do something similar to Apple’s “Web Clips” by clipping the “New Post” section on the WordPress, Blogger, etc. website so this way it just cuts out the “New Post” box on the site and stretches it and sticks it right into scribefire. Make it so you can choose the regular ScribeFire UI or use the Blogging service native UI this way

3) Add support add media in posts, such as youtube vids, pictures easily, sound clips from the internet or from the comp, etc.

Please add these very soon

Thank you
