Version 0.0.28
Released Sep 21, 2022 - 198.83 KBWorks with firefox 57.0 and laterJumped a few versions with today's release, so here's a summary:
Changes in v0.0.28:
* Container names no longer are limited to 25 characters. This was previously an API limitation that now seems to have been removed at some point, thank you Mozilla! As a result, the "Set Name" option now allows you to set a name longer than 25 characters. The "+" button did not have this same length check, so its behavior has not been changed.
* Replaced all javascript "alert" calls with proper modals. This is part of an incremental effort to replace all native JS dialogs such as "confirm", "prompt" and "alert" with proper CSS-enabled modals. You can view this yourself by pressing the "+" button with an empty container name in the text field.
* Fix https://github.com/cmcode-dev/firefox-containers-helper/issues/40 - the Sort by URL Descending menu option is now correct.
Changes in v0.0.27:
* fixes https://github.com/cmcode-dev/firefox-containers-helper/issues/33 - in some scenarios, the selected items are preserved when they should be reset. Now, the behavior has been updated to de-select all containers when a delete or duplicate action takes place.
Changes in v0.0.26:
Addresses some items from https://github.com/cmcode-dev/firefox-containers-helper/issues/37.
* fixes issue with containers that are added via the + button having lowercase names
* adds "soft" sorting by website asc/desc, container name asc/desc, or default unsorted/reverse. Note: this does not actually change the sorting of your containers within Firefox.
* minor code fixes/cleanup
* in v0.0.25, the default sort was set to sort by URL Asc; this has been set back to the Default Sort in v0.0.26.Source code released under The MIT License
