ScribeFire for Chrome Alpha 2 Available for Testing

Filed under: Announcements, Google Chrome, Releases, ScribeFire -- Christopher Finke @ 11:15pm

The second alpha version of ScribeFire for Chrome is now available for testing. If you are running Google Chrome, you can install it by clicking on the scribefire-0.1.1.0.crx link here. (If you already installed the first alpha, it won’t auto-update to this version because I forgot to make it do that. Sorry. This version will auto-update to all future updates.)

Changes in this update include:

  • Automatic updates
  • New WYSIWYG editor
  • Support for Posterous
  • Support for LiveJournal
  • The editor’s state is now persisted even if you close ScribeFire and reopen it
  • Added a button to reset the entire editor to a blank state
  • Fixed bug that would reset WordPress slugs when editing a post
  • Fixed bug that caused linebreaks to be ignored when posting to WordPress

If you have any problems with this version, report a bug by filling out this form at the ScribeFire for Google Chrome project website. To request a feature for a future version, fill out this feature request form.

    Found you from a link in the Life Zero blog. This looks interesting. What if I’m designing my own web site and would like to use ScribeFire as the front end. Do you publish your API? Can I just follow the API for one of the blogs you support? If so, which one would be best? Where is the code for the WYSIWYG editor hosted … is it part of ScribeFire or is it part of the blog code and you just call it?

    Any other thoughts on this subject?

    Peace,

    Rob:-]

    I suppose you are going to use Babelzilla localizations when it became Beta, isn´t it?
    If not, let me know the new procedure to build Spanish es_ES locale.

    Will there be a quote function to use just like in Firefox?
    Love this program a lot and finally it is up. Hoping to see more function on the later day when it is official release

    Yes, by the first beta, it will be prepped for localization. I’m not sure yet if I’ll be able to use the existing translations from Babelzilla.

    Chris, in the new WYSIWYG editor Spanish localization is working:

    I see “Formato” (format) , “Fuente” (font) and “Tamaño” (size)

    THANK YOU! I really love Scribe Fire and it was my only remaining link to Firefox! I would love to see a right click “Blog This” on as a part of the Chrome extension.
