After installation, I found it could not work.

When I click 'Tools > Add-ons > QuickPasswords > option', firefox pop-up an error.

message:

Looks like you did not create a test xpi with your locale in it. Did you follow these steps?

[Loviny]

Hi, First of all, Thank RealRaven and markh.

Yes, I had tested.

The previous version I installed and tested, no problem.

Yesterday, RealRaven updated the extension, so I reviewed the translation. Because the translation of documents for zh-CN had not be changed, so I installed the extension and tested it.

The result is the above. So, maybe, I think RealRaven should review it.

Thanks again.

OK, I found out what the problem was: the file containing the locales was named locale.arj instead of locale.jar. Just rename it and it will work.
Meanwhile I have corrected the description reference in prefs.js, which was incorrectly stated as

CODE

pref("extensions.quickPasswords@axelg.com.description", "chrome://quickPasswords/locale/overlay.properties");

while it should be

CODE

pref("extensions.QuickPasswords@axelg.com.description", "chrome://quickPasswords/locale/overlay.properties");

(note the capital Q). I have also updated the en-US overlay.properties file to reflect the description as mentioned in install.rdf; it just said ‘description’ which was rather vague

Thanks, I've passed the test.

Simplified Chinese released.

Hi RealRaven

I am currently translating this add-on into Danish. I do have a small problem. I try to figure out what the string "Time waiting for Password Manager window [ms]" mean. Setting the value to 1 or 99999999 does not seem to make any difference.
Is the "Password Manager window" the same as the as "Password Manager" in "Automatically Close Password Manager after copying"?

Hi Jørgen,

it does make a difference if you look closely - this setting addresses a problem with setting the password filter when you are coming from a web page. IN theory, if you are on blog.babelzilla.org and click on the password manager button, it should pop up the Saved Password Manager and fill the "search" box with the (last two words) of the domain name, so that I get all my passwords from blog.babelzilla.org and also www.babelzilla.org. The problem was that setting the filter from code was often ignored, so I put a timer before setting the filter. If you set this to 3000 [ms] then the Search box will be filled after the delay of 3 secs (from clicking the button, not from showing the Password Manager window). Setting the time too short will result in the filter not being set. Obviously this is system dependant, so I did not hard code the value (bit of a kludge, but there you have it).

I admit I was too lazy to find a concise text for the label, it should probably be something like "Time delay before filling the Password Manager Filter Box". QuickFolders is a little bit less sloppy in that respect. Do you think I should change the label and update all Translators before the next release? Otherwise I'd like to release before the weekend as I fixed another bug that I noticed after testing the danish translation.

Hi Axel

Now I see. I was watching the delay of the window, not the delay of populating the filter box. Yes I think you should change the string. You could also add an explanation at quickpasswords.mozdev.org.
An enhancement for a future release could be a context menu item 'Select all', for easy copying all passwords, in stead of using Ctrl+Click.

[Joergen]

Hi RealRaven

The Danish version has been updated, tested, and released.

The context menu item ' Retrieve a Password...' is not always visible. It is in this text box but not at BabelZillas index page http://www.babelzilla.org/index.php

Swedish locale (sv-SE) added and released.

[hosiguma]

Japanese (ja-JP) added and released.

[RealRaven]

New version!

After revisiting this conversation I found that I actually had agreed to make the description for the waiting time (intMsgDelay) in the options window a little more clear. Jørgen Rasmussen had suggested this, thanks for that!


It was not so easy as it is a short label, so I also added a tooltip text. It all refers to the "Search box" at the top of the "Saved Passwords" window and how it takes the name of the current web-site, I hope it is clear enough - feel free to put it in your own words!

modified intMsgDelay.label and added intMsgDelay.label.tooltip

thanks

Hi RealRaven

The Preferences Window is too small. See image.

Joergen

Hi Jørgen,

Thanks for that - the dialog is resizable, and determining the correct height is close to impossible because of different font sizes which is both Operating System and Theme - dependent. This is what it looks like on my system:



My other extensions have the same problem, not really sure what to do about it :(

[Joergen]

Hi Axel

I tested the add-on in a new Firefox profile. The first problem I reported "The add-on always display context menu in browser no matter of the settings." disappeared!
I can't resize the settings window on my Windows 7 pc.

Joergen

Added later: The context menu problem is caused by a conflict with the add-on 'Change Search Shortcut 0.21' https://addons.mozilla.org/da/firefox/addon...earch-shortcut/
