Congratulations Josep, but I have some remarks for 0.5.8 version:
Extension instaled on new blank profile, Windows XP SP2 Firefox 1.5.0.1 pl
1. Not working buttons:
- Showcase this window
- Showcase tab
- Showcase tab for this window
2. In the options dialog, last tab (Shortcuts) display information about installed, but disabled extension Keyconfig. This is not true. I haven't installed this extension.

I made some changes in the files for options dialog for better look this dialog. Please check my work and give me your judgement. For me now option dialog looks very good.

Ok, new version released!

http://showcase.uworks.net/download.html

Now, available in 13 different languages!! That's really impressive Thanks everyone!

Next version will take a while, but it will be worth it

Changelog for this version:
- Improved support for "mouse over zoom" for values over 100%. 150% seems to be the best value for this functionality.
- Added support for IE Tab. An IE icon will be shown instead of a blank thumbnail, and URL will be correct.
- Added information about the number of windows and tabs shown in Showcase in the title.
- Added references to KeyConfig as the way to configure shortcuts in the Showcase options dialog.
- New toolbar iconset that integrates better with Firefox default theme.
- Added separate buttons for window, tab and sidebar modes.
- Keeping "Shift" pressed while clicking on a showcase button will switch it's context (local to global or the opposite).
- Keeping "Control" pressed while clicking on a showcase button will switch it's mode (window to tab or the opposite).
- Improved plain style label visuals.
- Added key shortcut on Showcase window to access to configuration (Alt+O)
- Added Seamonkey support. The xSidebar extension (by Philip Chee) is required for Showcase to work properly in SeaMonkey. Configuration can be invoked using the Alt+O shortcut, but it will fail the first time, so close it and open again.
- Solved a minor bug that prevented the update of Showcase thumbnail title after a tab is loaded.
- Solved a minor bug related to selecting the wrong tab when using embedded mode.
- Icons are no longer stretched if font is too big.
- Loading icon will show when label is in "box" mode.
- Solved console warnings when using strict mode.
- Added locales for chinese (zh-CN, by rickcart), greek (el-GR, by moz.sf.net), polish (pl-PL, by Leszek(teo)Życzkowski), russian (ru-RU, by Eugene), japanese (ja-JP, by Kiyotaka Uehara) and catalan (ca-AD, by Racó Català).

There was a bug in the release that made de-DE unavailable... that has been corrected and I posted a new version 0.5.8.1 . If anyone needs it, it's available now in my website, as the "mirror" version of 0.5.8 . Hopefully, the new 0.5.8.1 will be available from addons.mozilla.org today...

[joseprio]

Well, the new version feature set is finished, so I'm posting a release candidate for translation

The changelog for this version:
- Find bar: locate any thumbnail by content, title or URL. Activate with "CTRL+F".
- Multiple selection of thumbnails (use cursors or mouse clicks with Shift or Control).
- New operations for multiple selections: Close Selected, Close Other Tabs, Duplicate in New Window, Merge in New Window.
- Browser windows can have multiple thumbnails representing them.
- Contextual menu options can be added/removed.
- Added "View source" contextual menu option (hidden by default).
- "Print" contextual menu option hidden by default.
- Contextual menu can be disabled, and actions can be assigned to the right mouse button click.
- Sidebar title will show the number of opened windows/tabs as in the other modes.
- Changed cursor style to look more "native".
- Background color for sidebar and window modes is configurable, like it was for the tab mode.
- Showcase title statistics are available for sidebar, are configurable and disabled by default.
- Improved configuration panels.
- This version will not work properly in SeaMonkey. Next release will re-add support for it.

If any translator needs a clarification for a string, just contact me by email or PM and I'll be more than glad to help

That was fast! Thanks

el-GR released, sorry for the delay but the testing part took me a while

Danish has been released; very nice extension.

1 tiny suggestion; in description, somewhere on settings pages or on About page, could you add that F12 / shift-F12 is the default 'main' key? It was the only thing I had a problem figuring out, I had to go read your homepage...


And any chance you could talk the KeyConfig extension dev into joining BabelZilla?

Sorry for not answering earlier

I was planning to make a help page (where all the default shortcuts would be documented), but that would make Showcase even more difficult to translate (I believe it already has too many strings!)

Anyways, I'll try to show that information in the future version (in the 'Shortcuts' tab).

About keyconfig, well, it's his decision. Perhaps some Babelzilla op could contact him? Anyways, if I contact him again, I'll suggest that to him.

I haven't heard from the italian and french translator for a while, so I'm looking for two people to update their translations for this version

If someone is interested, just contact me by PM or write a reply here.

I tested the new version and had some CPU working increase (100%) with browser blocking when enabling the windows attributs (any of them).
Is there somebody who has the same issu ?

Hi! I just tried to add some window attributes, and it worked well in my current version. I used the attributes "Dialog", "Modal" and "Maximized" at the same time. I'll send you a link to it, so you can try it out.

I also observed that the "translucent" mode is not working properly, but it's not a problem because it will be "hidden" in the offical release.
