I wanted to consolidate some of the questions we are often asked about ThumbStrips. I hope this makes it easier to find answers to your questions.

1. If I close Firefox is my thumbstrip saved automatically?
Yes it is automatically saved, but will be overwritten each browser session. They are located here:
- Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\*username*\Application Data\Mozilla\Profiles\*.default\chrome\filmstrips\_ThumbStrips History from Last Browser Session.film

- Mac OS X (Leopard): ./Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/*.default/chrome/filmstrips/_ThumbStrips History from Last Browser Session.film

- Linux: /home/*username*/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/chrome/filmstrips/_ThumbStrips History from Last Browser Session.film

2. ThumbStrips slows down my machine
We optimized the code as much as possible, so here are some suggestions
- upgrade to FF3. They have improved memory leak issues and it runs much faster.

- Go to Configure -> Options -> More -> and change how often snapshots are taken to “less frequently”

3. Is there a shortcut for opening and closing the ThumbStrips window?
- Yes, F2 or CTRL-SHIFT-F
- Also, F4 turns recording on and off

I will keep this list updated as we get more great questions.

What do you think of using Get Satisfaction as the primary method of support for ThumbStrips?

We have been relying on using our blog on www.thumbstrips.com to have questions asked and answered. There are many blog posts, so the questions are often scattered which makes them difficult to answer in one place. We rely on your great suggestions to keep improving ThumbStrips, so having a single place to consolidate the feedback seems like a great way to learn from you.
