0.9.1

  • Jul. 8th, 2009 at 10:34 PM
New DS is up on MozDev, and it's sitting in the sandbox at AMO waiting for approval. If you downloaded it from MozDev originally, then the extension updater thing should do its thing properly (I hope - it's been over a year since I last did all the update-signing thing so I might have done something wrong, but it seems to work for me). If it's unable to download (worked straight away for me, so maybe they updated how all that stuff works in the past year), then it's possibly still syncing to whatever mirror you were trying to download it from, so try again later.

Nothing new (aside from that annoying-as-hell LJ user bug, you know, the Ctrl+K one not giving expected results), but I will start working on it again, otherwise it'd be a total waste of spending half a day trying to get everything set up for development.

LJ user tag button doesn't work

  • Jul. 8th, 2009 at 9:53 AM
I thought it was just me, and some inane fluke of my XP/Firefox combination, but now I read it on my flist as well: the button for the LJ user tag in DS doesn't work. I have to code it by hand in the source window.

And as I am posting, I must say a button for the 'small' and the 'strike' tags would come in REALLY handy, as I use them a lot -- the other two most frequent reasons I change to source view.

Is there, perhaps, a new version of DS somewhere that has these, but isn't known to Mozilla yet and has to be installed by hand?

Set default category? Easy blockquote?

  • Jul. 2nd, 2009 at 1:51 PM
Hey, DS folks --

I'm liking Deepest Sender, but I have a couple of questions (or maybe requests):

Is there any way to set the default category? I have a handful, and DS always defaults to the first alphabetically, which happens to be one I rarely use. I was hoping I could set it for something more common, or have it default to the last category used. Is that possible?

And... is there an easy way to add a blockquote? I see I can indent text, but I was looking to use the blockquote (or cite) tags. Can it be done?

Many thanks!

As the nerdy ones of you know, Firefox 3.5 will be coming out Real Soon Now. DS will be updated to work with it in the next few days (I don't actually have any development stuff set up here at the moment). Actually maybe next week sometime, I'm off to NZ on Friday and won't have time over the weekend.

Also, thinking about cutting out the Blogger/WordPress stuff. It was an interesting experiment, but let's face it, the support/features for it in DS are terrible and probably doesn't even work anymore.

Okay, I'm a bit confused.

Ever since my Firefox update Deepest Sender hasn't worked for me anymore. I uploaded the newest version and installed it but nothing happens after that and I'm not sure why. It doesn't give me the log in page like it should. Anybody have any ideas what this could be and how to solve it? 

Hi All,
Tried to get this in yesterday but I think I've pooped my deepest sender, so now posting from the website.
I'm new to the whole plugins thing, can't understand code for toffee or tea, and now I'm here.
I get this error message when I try to post an entry to the new blogger account I made.

[JavaScript Application]
Error sending post: [Line 2, Column 8] Invalid root element, expected (namespace uri:local name) of
(http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom:entry), found (:entry
OK
Can anyone PLEASE shed any light on this?
Going crazy here because my screenreader won't work with blogger and so I can't post!

Thanks much for any help.

Hello,
I have a question, but have no idea where to start finding an answer as I am useless at coding anything and I'm not really sure how to use bugzilla or whatever.
The error message comes up when I try to post to my blogger account:

[JavaScript Application]
Error sending post: [Line 2, Column 8] Invalid root element, expected (namespace uri:local name) of
(http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom:entry), found (:entry
OK

Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this?
Thanks.

Wordpress

  • Mar. 22nd, 2009 at 9:04 PM
So when I edit an item for Wordpress, Deepest Sender deletes it. It's like, I click "Save" and the item gets deleted. How can I fix this?

Thanks.

Weirdness in the text area.

  • Feb. 24th, 2009 at 2:21 AM

Okay, I'm not sure if this is a deepest sender thing, or something else wrong with my Firefox, but I first noticed the problem in deepest sender, so I'm going to ask here first in case any of you fine folk have encountered this problem too.

The text area for my entry in the deepest sender window is all wonky, in that the actual area it'll let me type in is a very small center part of the whole area that should be able to accept text.

here's a picture of the issue )

I've also seen this problem with EditCSS when it opens in the sidebar. It only recently developed, since I upgraded from Kubuntu 8.04 to 8.10. If anyone has any ideas on what happened, I would greatly appreciate the help.

A bit confused (Unable to post to blogger)

  • Dec. 16th, 2008 at 11:11 PM
Well. I've read the instructions, the help and the FAQ.  I've headed over to bugzilla where I found this bug report.
It describes the problem I'm having exactly and includes a screen shot of the error message which reads: "Must specify either an [sic] content or summary element for a post".
The only difference between the bug report and my problem is platform.  I'm running a Mac OSX.  The thing is, the report was filed in September and hasn't been commented on or answered in any way that I can see.  So I have this lovely little addon that works great for my LJ, but doesn't work with my blogger and I'm sooo bummed.
Help, please?

Feature request: custom HTML tags

  • Nov. 9th, 2008 at 12:31 PM
I have been using and loving Deepest Sender for quite some time now. However I find myself having to switch to 'HTML Source' mode quite regularly.

Would it be possible (without too much hassle) to implement something like a "add custom HTML tags" to the editor window? For example, one would select a block of text, then be prompted for the HTML prefix and HTML suffix code (e.g. a prefix could be <strike> and a suffix could be </strike>, or a prefix could be <div style="whatever"> and a suffix </div>, respectively). This would save one the hassle of switching to and back from HTML Source mode during post edits.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Sync

Is there some secret to getting the Livejournal Sync function to work?

Facebook Update Support

  • Nov. 6th, 2008 at 1:18 AM
So, the Livejournal Connect Facebook App has been discontinued, due to LJ adding some support for Facebook updating. That's just peachy for those who use the web-based posting thingy, but it'd be nice if support for this could be included in clients like Deepest Sender. Any chance of this happening?

br /

  • Oct. 3rd, 2008 at 11:05 AM
Every time I open a post for editing Deepest Sender adds the 'br /' tag to the end of the lines (visual paragraphs).
Can it be changed? "Don't autoformat this post" is on, but that works only with a new post, not when editing an old one.
Difference between Enter-'p', Shift-Enter-'br /' would be ideal for me.
But, anyhow, I'm tired of cleaning the code manually every time :-(
Can you help me?
Thank you.

Can't login

  • Sep. 26th, 2008 at 4:25 PM
No reaction on login action since yesterday.
I've been seeing this since upgrading to FF3, is anyone else?

When I click DS's "Insert an LJ user tag" button, enter a name into the dialog box, and click OK, rather than adding the correct code to the main window, instead it adds:

<span class="undefined">example</span>

(This is the case whether the "user" or "community" radio button is checked.)

The other buttons, for inserting cuts, links and images, are all working fine.

DS 0.9.0, Firefox 3.0.2, Windows XP

I just upgraded to FF3/DS 0.9 and am getting the same login error as kirschbanane -- and I have only one account: (truncated message text) )
I would love to see the fabulous new features, but I can't log in at all!

DS 0.9.0, Firefox 3.0.1, Windows Vista

  • Aug. 27th, 2008 at 7:59 PM
Sorry to bug you, but I've got a problem I just can't figure out.

I've got two accounts, and at one of them I can log in without any problem.
When I try to log in at the other it gives me
Why's that?

Reset

  • Aug. 15th, 2008 at 1:48 PM
Would it be possible to add a button to clear or reset the window?

I have found on several occasions, that such a button would be very useful and helpful.

bug in 0.9.0

  • Jul. 26th, 2008 at 11:26 PM
Hi there. I've recently upgraded to Firefox 3 and DS 0.9.0 and suddenly the following bug appeared: my user image isn't displayed, I can't select which journal to post to, and all other fields like tags aren't labeled. I haven't experienced any problems with DS before.

proofpic:



Also when I click "post", "Posting to bigsva" appears and progress bar goes infinitely. However, the entry does appear in my journal.
