My Reviews
Pinboard IncSearch
Useful and fast (but hidden in tools menu) Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Seems to download all pinboard bookmarks and performs a rather fast search on them. Great !
The only drawback is that is not really integrated into Firefox (e.g. as a sidebar) but that you have to run it from the tools menu (I was struggling a little while before I found that out).
SortPref
No more thread view by default Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Finally a way to set the normal list view as default again.
Clippings
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great! And now you can even specify in which directory the data is stored so it works seamlessly with synchronisation software like Dropbox :-)
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.0.1).Date Picker/Calendar
Nice, handy, does what it says. Rated 5 out of 5 stars
For date format options, look at http://jamescookie.com/extensions/datepicker.html
Sort Tabs by URL
Great, accessible via Tool Menu now Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Sorting by URL seems to be the most natural way to cope with a huge number of tabs opened. Simple to use (thanks to entry in tools menu).
Phrase Highlighter
Best highlighter so far Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Simple but efficient highlighter, I tried many, this seems to be the best by far. Work boundaries (\b) work fine in regular expressions. Would love to see this on Thunderbird, too.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.8). This user has a previous review of this add-on.Phrase Highlighter
Best highlighter so far Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Probably the best (but still simple) highlighter around.Regular expressions seem to work fine even though I've got an issue with word boundary (\b).Would love to see this for Thunderbird, too.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.8).Color Folders
Great Rated 5 out of 5 stars
There used to be a problem with virtual folders (search folders) but there's where I need the colors most. This seems to be repaired now and it's fantastic for me now.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0).CompactHeader
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Great! I may have wished to have a bit more options about what to see and maybe to toggle between standard and compact header, but so far it's really improving the experience with Thunderbird on smaller screens... Except that it seems that the compact header defines a minimum width which will make my window (under ubuntu), when maximized, reach over the end of my screen (on a tiny netbook) - or is there some other addon incompatibility??
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.7).Thunderbird Conversations
Revolutionises message handling Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Great, it really shows the whole thread in an overview and helps me a lot!!
I'm giving it only four stars because some things may still be improved:
- show contact picture
- allow to send the reply later (it's sending immediately if you use fast reply)
- some issues with text size (even though it's okay for me now, I had some issues before on other computers)
That said, let's not forget that it revolutionizes (replaces) the way the messages are shown so some incompatibilities (eg when using an addin to display contact photos) will be inevitable.
Folder Levels
Great but not for virtual folders Rated 4 out of 5 stars
The idea is great and it makes the whole folder structure much more readable. Alas, it only seems to work for real folders (remote or local), but not for virtual (search) folders.
Display Contact Photo
Perfect Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Works fine, uses photos from the address book and from a local folder. Only drawback: When composing an email with yourself in BCC, it will show your picture, too.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2.5).To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
