Thanks! That is, to say the least, unintuitive, but it works :)

Can't manage nested tags, tag management pane missing

I can't find the tag management pane - was it moved elsewhere, removed by accident or was it a planned action? The problem is I can't arrange nested tags, now.

Firefox 3.7a1pre crashes on feedly launching.

Well, Just upgraded to Snow Leopard, thought about starting a fresh firefox profile. but using firefox nightly build (3.7a1pre) I can't seem to start feedly - ff crashes everytime before opening its tab. So I'll head back to google reader. I understand that supporting a nightly build can't be easy, I respect that. But using the latest nightly (working for every other firefox use case I have right now) outweights using feedly instead of google reader - as much as i like feedly, and I do!

Hope you find the crashing cause(s), tell me if I can provide you with more information to help.

Cheers!

okay, I've uninstalled feedly, because navigation keys were too important for me to stand by and wait. I decided to install again from the main site, just to make sure there were no differences, and it looks like i now have version 2.x.009 (build 2864). And this one is fully working for me now, with the latest firefox nightly build! Now why did my feedly addon stopped updating i'm not sure... So if someone still has this problem, try unisntalling, restarting, installing again from the feedly website and it should work.

Kudos!

Out of curiosity, did you got to upload that patch thursday? i'm using version: 2.0a.030 (build 2827), but it ain't working, yet (not sure if it should, already).

Edgar Gonçves replied on August 21, 2009 09:38 to the idea "How about syncing extensions ?" in Xmarks:

As useful it may be to sync the entire browser state, Mozilla's Weave is already working on that, but for Firefox only. So I believe foxmarks would gain from using Weave's data and spreading it to other browsers, joining forces with Weave, rather than trying to replicate its effort and extend on it. My 2 cents.

Thank you! out of curiosity, why did it happen, was it something that changed on feedly's code, or was it something that became different on the latest Minefields?

Another question, since you're at the keyboard shortcuts, do you plan to add the simple but yet so usefull Shift+A to mimic google reader's "mark viewed as read" command? I'm sure I'm not alone when I say this is really usefull!

Thanks again, great work!

I've been running firefox nightlies since my first post, updating almost every day with the latest build, and the issue remains since then. note that those keys work on google reader, for instance, and buxfer has solved their issues with keyboard shortcuts, too. On feedly, most keys work, only the navigation (jknp) are non-responsive.

Thanks, hope you find the bug, tell us if there's something we can do to help tracking/fixing it!

Edgar Gonçves replied on July 16, 2009 14:01 to the problem "Parser 2 in Ubiquity 0.5 makes it slow and not functioning!" in Mozilla:

Thanks, heather! After ray bango's tweet I tested it, and it worked somehow feasibly. But it is still slower than the Parser 1, which boiled things down to one question - why do I need parser 2 for?

cons
- it breaks some old commands that weren't updated
- it is still a bit slower than parser 1, specially when starting to type on the ubiquity cmd line

pros
- ? (i have really no idea, since everything seems to work as it should with parser 1, so unless it is for i18n reasons - which are great, but i won't be using in the near future on my machine -, i don't see any positive change).

But yes, i can consider the initial thread issue as solved, now. Thanks, all!

Edgar Gonçves replied on July 13, 2009 08:17 to the question "keyboard shortcuts for post navigation stopped working" in Feedly:

There should be a change in the way keyboard shortcuts are handled. Buxfer has the same problem, all its keys stopped working in the nightlies a while back. But they solved it already, so it *is* possible. Since Feedly is a Firefox specific web application/add-on, I think it should address this issue a bit more aggressively (unless I'm mistaken, the fix should be fairly simple).

(This is not an harsh-toned comment, people - i still love feedly, and admire its evolution since i started using it half a year ago! Please do let me know if i can help figure out what's wrong, i want it to improve!)

(You're right, Said, thanks - I forgot to do it!)

Just confirming that if I switch back to Parser 1, all works as it should. And going back again to Parser 2 makes it slow again - so it is pinpointed! – Edgar Gonçves, on July 11, 2009 21:52

I also have this problem. I specially notice that when writing long argument texts, say, to the tweet command.

I have this issue both on FF 3.5 and latest nightly (each day since Ubiquity 05 came out) on Mac OSX 10.5.7.

it seems like whatever caused this is now gone. so thanks, whatever someone did, did the trick :)

Edgar Gonçves replied on June 18, 2009 09:33 to the question "keyboard shortcuts for post navigation stopped working" in Feedly:

Quick followup - I confirm that under the same settings, Feedly's nav shortcuts don't work, but Gmail's do! And I'm talking about j,k,n, and p. So it's not a browser nightly bug, it is probably feedly's.

Edgar Gonçves replied on June 14, 2009 09:51 to the question "keyboard shortcuts for post navigation stopped working" in Feedly:

Thanks for the followup - I've only posted the issue here to help others that may be struggling with the same - community help is always good!

Well, I've changed to the xpi you linked, tested it and it remains the same. The navigation keys won't work on any page (not on expose, cover, digest, category, ...) and it doesn't show up on error console. Despite having no scripts directed at feedly, I've also disabled greasemonkey, with no effect I'd like to help more, but I don't really know how :( Feel free to ask me for more! Thanks.

keyboard shortcuts for post navigation stopped working

Some days ago all navigation keys (n,p, j,k) stopped working. This is strange, as all other keyboard shortcuts work as expected.

For me this is really a productivity slowdown, I've been reverting to google reader to go trough large news batches.

I've been using the latest Firefox, 3.6 nightly version.

Edgar Gonçves replied on June 12, 2009 18:12 to the idea "Keyboard shortcut to mark page as read" in Feedly:

It may be a good idea to offer the same google reader shortcut (shift+a), but you may offer more versions of the clearing command, like clear the current feed, clear a category, clear visible, clear all. off course these are controversial utilities - but adding an optional confirmation dialog would solve the issue, i think.

screen rendering goes berserk with embedded content + scrolling

I noticed this happening a few days ago, some posts with embedded content (e.g., youtube videos) open correctly, but as soon as i scroll a bit (using the mouse wheel or keyboard) everything starts to disappear, and on a subsequent scroll it shows up again (partially), and from then on, it only gets right when the post is closed (e.g., 'o' key).

I've been using the latest Firefox, 3.6 nightly version, and up until this week, feedly worked great.
