I’ve been waiting a long time for this. I used to hack the editor.js file just to get a url title field and a bold link text. Then it didn’t work anymore, so I was happy that you put this capability in.
It works insofar as I’m getting a [...title="page title text"] in the right place, but using the same “$T” for the link text, gives me exactly that. Every link text is “$T”. I need to manually delete “$T” and drag/copy the title from where it was saved properly in the title field.
Also, if I just want to put the link into a note for later use or reference, without any selected text, empty blockquote tags are included each time. If there’s no selected text, it shouldn’t insert the blockquotes.

Thanks.

Hello, I’m a blogger and use Chinese.
The “Word Count” feature is useful, but it seems like not supporting counting Chinese characters?
And I have “1″ word in the all-Chinese-using archive, that’s interesting
By the way, how can I get the Quickblogging toolbar back after I closed it?
I can’t find any solutions with my bad English reading…

The save note feature seems to be bugged. Doesn’t save properly.

I’m using ScribeFire to post on my WordPress (custom install) blog. In the recent update, ScribeFire adds a blank tag to the entire post. In regular posts it doesn’t matter but posts that start with a blockquote or inline asides posts, it screws up the formatting slightly. It pushes the comments notification e.g.(2) on the next line. I’ve to manually go and edit all posts to remove the tags.

I may be missing this but is there any chance of supporting a per post password (enough P’s there?) for WordPress in your add on? Other than that it meets all my needs. I just have to log in to my WP page to rant about work with a password.

Darren: I admit that the Word Count feature only works in Western languages, since I don’t know how to determine what constitutes a “word” in languages like Chinese or Japanese.
You should be able to re-enable the QuickBlogging toolbar in the “Settings” tab of ScribeFire.

2.2.1
Problems. Can’t align right. First and second paragraph are pulling together, no line break.
Speed, the thing has really slowed down.
I don’t see the social networking things that used to be available via that green button.

How to use the Insert Table feature? I don’t see a command in the UI. I am using 2.2.7
