Recommended Addon

Sure decent developers don't really need help to write a simple .properties file. What I suggest is just a question of having the job half done quickly with no question like "btw, what shall I choose as variable names? Do they have a field for Version notes on AMO?" and the kind.

thanks for you promising answer, maybe you will give it a try when you have one minute left

very good stuff, this is (almost) perfect - I would just say that the input fields (hence the dialog window) should be resizeable (auto-resizeable ?) if possible, there can be not-so-short values to enter in amo.properties file.

Many thanks indeed for everything!

okay, in the release xpi the window will be (manually) resizeable.

You are very kind, Thou Lord of Code.

Hello,
First: Thank you for your useful addon.

But I have some open questions:
- on my add-on-AMO-Page i can "Browse for XPI" an load the data from the "/locales/la-ng/amo.properties"-files of my addon, right? After clicking "Reuse Add-on with current page" the properties should be copied into the appropriate form-fields on the AMO-page? This is not functioning on my FF :| (because of an new design of AMO?!)
- what does "Browse for folder" mean? Can i open an extensions-rootfolder (with "install.rdf" inside)?

Can you add some userdefined properties to you system? I would add translatorsName etc... (for using inside my extension)

Regards
Stefan

the reuse button is after you've loaded the xpi once so you can use it again on another page within amo. There isn't any new design I've noticed. what doesn't work?

- what does "Browse for folder" mean? Can i open an extensions-rootfolder (with "install.rdf" inside)?

Yes. install.rdf is ignored anyway but it will search subfolders for appropriately named folders with amo.properties inside.

You can manually add whatever fields you want to the properties file. If you are able to write the script to extract and use the entries elsewhere then I'm sure you have the computer ability

OK.... yesterday there was a "tryout the new system"-link in my AMO-Addon-Account. behind thsi link there was a new styled AMO-Design. But this don't care.

what doesn't work?

OK. I will describe my approach:
- I create an amo.properties-File via menu-entry "Create valid properties file" - save it to "C:/projects/myaddon/locales/de-DE/amo.properties" (this folder contains the directorytree of my addon)
- i go to "my" AMO-Addon Page - the AMO Localizer-Buttons appear
- i click "Browse for Folder" - choosing "C:/projects/myaddon" -> NOTHING happens!

Same thing, if i try your plugin with an XPI (containing the amo.properties-file)

Whats wrong?

Ah yes, I know about that. It doesn't work with it yet. If/when it becomes the default i'll have to make changes.

Sounds like the right steps. If you set the preference 'amoLocaliser.debug=true' the error console will show status messages showing what's going on.
You may need to set these too:
browser.dom.window.dump.enabled=true
javascript.options.showInConsole=true

Looks harmless.... but your tool inserts nothing.

Other Addons i installed on the running FF-Profile:

• Advanced URL Builder
• Console²
• Quick Locale Switcher
• Rotate Image

what are your locale folders called? If the locale folders aren't called something really obvious the add-on won't match them.

version 0.3 has been uploaded. Its mainly usability improvements, though I think I've fixed the bug that StefanS was experiencing also.

p.s. Some localisers don't seem to have realised that 'localiserName' is for YOUR name so you can get credit for your work.
