Comments on: It’s All Text! 1.4 (FF3.6 compatible) http://docwhat.org/2010/01/its-all-text-1-4-ff3-6-compatible/ Some men are discovered; others are found out Sat, 03 Dec 2011 07:28:31 -0500 hourly 1 By: Aziz Light http://docwhat.org/2010/01/its-all-text-1-4-ff3-6-compatible/comment-page-1/#comment-6535 Aziz Light Sun, 27 Jun 2010 15:06:30 +0000 http://docwhat.org/?p=491#comment-6535 I love It's All Text. I loved it since it's first release. However, I always had issue with it on OS X. I finally found a way! Well at least if you use Textmate. You first need to install the Terminal app (mate): - Click on Help -> Terminal Usage... - Choose where you want to install mate - Click on "Create Link" If you already installed the mate command but don't know where it is, open Terminal.app and type "which mate". Finally, in It's All Text's preferences, copy the path to the mate command. In my case, it was /usr/bin/mate Now it should be working fine. I love It’s All Text. I loved it since it’s first release.

I manually changed the value and installed the update. A quick test at an unrelated web site seems to verify that it will indeed work with v3.5.7... after the change.

If this plugin does actually work with 3.5, please set the minVersion to 3.5. I tried to file this as a bug report, but your Trac does not seem to support OpenID fully. I'm unable to log in using MyOpenID.com, and so I cannot file bug reports. You might want to check its configuration.

I tried it again after restarting FF and then again after a full computer reboot but got exactly the same error message about it not being compatible with Firefox 3.5.7 each time. On the description for v1.4, you wrote "It only works in FF3.6", is there perhaps someplace you've hardcoded it so it won't work in any lessor version of FF?

I haven't even looked at 3.7 yet; 3.6 just came out! :-) I'll take a quick look tonight. Worse case, you can dump the unzipped .xpi in your extensions directory and manually change the version numbers and see what happens. :-) File any bugs you find at http://trac.gerf.org/itsalltext Dunno.

Can you try restarting FF and seeing if that helps? If not, email me directly or IM me we can see if we can figure it out. Worse-case -- I'll create a new version with hardcoded bumped version numbers. I wonder if the .xpi is being cached by FF? Can you try restarting FF and seeing if that helps?

How much trouble might it be to make it compatible with the current “devel” branch of Firefox (3.7)? I love IAT and would be very happy to be using it with 3.7!

Upgrading Fx now is not an option since 50% of my other extensions aren't compatible. It’s a pity that it doesn’t work in 3.5.7 anymore.
