Featured: ScribeFire nightly build
Filed under: Feedback, Preview, ScribeFire -- Christopher Finke @ 03:24pmUpdate: The latest preview build is here.
For anyone who downloaded version 1.4.8 and was unhappy with how often the “You haven’t saved this post…” prompt popped up: you should install this nightly build. It is identical to ScribeFire 1.4.8 except for some improvements in when the dialog appears to prompt you to save your progress.
Please continue to leave feedback, either in a comment on this post or at the ScribeFire Google Code project.

Hi,
thank you for the fast update. unfortunately this build seems to have problems (at least on my
machine)
When switching between notes the dialog still comes up. Sometimes right at the first time sometimes it needs a few switches more. (eventhough I have not even touched the note)
Also once the dialog comes up there is no way to get rid of it anymore. Whatever I press it keeps
coming up…. checking the save dialog, clicking ok, clicking cancel, manually save the note…
nothing helps… it is coming back all the time and does not let me switch to any other note.
It also seemed to have corrupted my notes file in some way. I actually could not see how (the file is about was about 200KB now it is only 181KB) but thank god I was smart enough to back it up before
testing. I cannot 100% confirm what caused it. Maybe I messed up the file myself while I was trying to exit. But I thought I should mention it.
also, once it hangs I cannot get out properly. The window shuts down, but I cannot reopen it and I need to kill Firefox in the Taskmanager in order to start a new session.
Last minute edit: I seem to have found out what the problem seems to be related to.
I have many notes that look like this one for example:
—————-
—————-
—————-
—————-
………………. add about 100 more entries per note.
these notes seem to cause the problem.

oh well, my example didnt get through! there was some html in it. I am already much too late to figure out how to do this properly, but it’s basically just a collection of Photobucket Websites and Blogs Code.
If you do not know exaclty what I mean, go to Photobucket, do a search, click an image and check the “HTML Code - Websites & Blogs” entry.
I have some notes with about 100 of these entries inside.
they never caused any problem until the last update.

btw: both of my posts are for build 1.4.9

Jack,
I think it’s pretty unlikely that the problems you describe were caused by 1.4.9pre, since no changes were made that affect how ScribeFire interacts with the notes file. If there is not any confidential information in the file, could you send me a copy at cfinke@gmail.com so that I can try and figure out the problem?

Google code is evil open source hosting server, cuz they prevent us (in my country) to download any thing from hosted project!
So when I tried to download nightly build I got the following message:
So could you please change your hosting to another server?
By the way I’ve a problem with new version of scribefire as shown in this post

I would like to see added is a way to post items in bulk instead of sending the same item to separate blogs one at a time.

Christopher:
I just prepared file which should enable you to reproduce the problem and sent you an Email with “Scribefire 149 Jack” in the subject line.
I already found out a bit more. the problem only comes up when switching to Rich editing mode. and it all seems to have to do with those small html snippets that I use and which scribefire somehow seems to reformat by itself when switching modes.

Thanks for the update. Seems to be working just fine for me!

Thanks for the cool plugin!
One bug: when I publish an entry as draft, then open it again from “entries” - “posts” and publish it, it gets saved as a new entry (that means the original draft is still there in the Wordpress-Admin). This makes us have to manually delete those double drafts…
Would be cool if, when opening a draft in ScribeFire, the reference to the original post ID would be kept and the original post with that ID overwritten and set to “published” when hitting the “publish” button (maybe ask the user when publishing).

I have not been able to get a response to registering in the forum, it never sent me a password to login with and I want to leave a post about a problem I am having. So for starters I will leave it here.
I have a wordpress blog and I just installed scribefire today in firefox 3 beta 4. I used an earlier version of scribefire a while ago when I used to blog to blogger and it worked like a charm. At this point the charm is gone. Whenever I try to publish to my wordpress.com blog through scribefire it shows up as a draft, not a published post. Then I have to go to write in wordpress and push publish. That is obviously not my intention for using scribefire, nor I am assuming, is it yours for providing scribefire. Can you give me a clue as to why this is happening. I noticed another post in the support forum that someone was having the same problem with publishing to their blogger. I look to make sure all the boxes that would make a post a draft by default aren’t marked. So I don’t know why it won’t publish when I tell it to. Again, having to go to wordpress to actaully publish is a waste of time.

Scribefire is great, but are there any plans for keyboard shortcuts (a la the Wordpress admin)? I’m so dependent on them I can’t use it without them.

Hi!
I think ScribeFire is great.
I have just one doubt: Where can I find the notes I saved? I mean, I use “DeepFreeze” on my machine, and yasterday I had an energy cut, so my PC turned off. When I turned it on again, obviulsy I lost my notes.
I really want to know the archive’s name and its path so I could backup it.
Thanks so much.-

I am having the same problem mentioned in post #12:
All my posts in ScribeFire don’t really post… they post as drafts. I have tried it on my Macbook, on my Dell at work, I have disabled and re-enabled, I have uninstalled and re-installed… still does not work.
Please help. Thanks.

My notes file has become corrupt. I don’t even know where that is. I had a lot of work stored in my notes. I’m not happy.

All my posts in ScribeFire don’t really post…. Thanks.

I’ve been looking around for an answer to post #14.
I”d like to move some notes to a different computer to consolidate, but I have no idea where the path / data is stored for the notes.
Any help is appreciated!
