Hi Folks,
Since the file-backups AddOn
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/file-backups/> seems to
work well, for about 500 daily users, I intend to port the it to the Chrome
browser.
At the moment file-backups adds 2 icons:
pageAction ... which is shown for tiddlywiki tabs
browserAction ... which is permanently added.
I did create it that way, because I personally liked it that way and
TiddlyFox had some problems with just 1 browser icon, that changes state.
*The new problem now is*: Chrome browser only allows 1 set of actions in an
AddOn. It refuses to install the plugin. .. So I have to choose between
browser- or page-actions.
*At the moment* pageAction only toggles the "Backups enabled" state:
- Backups enabled:
- Backups disabled:
*I intend to* remove it and make the browserAction icon reflect the actual
state.
So the file-backups default icon will be:
Backups enabled: by default and
Backups disabled: ... I want to have "Backups disabled" orange or red,
since I did already loose some work that way.
Since FF UI can be adjusted, for me* it will look that way: *
There will also be a new state: Use browser fallback save mechanism.
Which is basically the same as the plugin disabled, without the need to
really disable it.
It will probably show a "grayed out" or transparent Icon, which will be
still clickable. .... I'm not sure here!
*What do you think?*Have fun!
