Dreamwidth Thread Tracker Good Pants توسط

This adds a button next to the date in Gmail emails, which adds links to roleplay threads in a to-do list. It pulls your container tags and lets you choose which container it opens in, but default it will open in whichever tag you are in at the time.

As of version 4, it will add a button next to the (link) on a DW page. If you're in a container tab it will add it to the related list. If you're not, it will add it to the Default list.

The extension lets you:

• Save Dreamwidth notifications or links on the page to add to a to-do list.

• Organise them into lists (for characters, verses, or projects).

• Open threads in the correct Firefox container tab for the account you want to use.

• The list captures the journal name and the entry title for easy recognition.


Lists!

• The lists are independent to-do queues.
• A list called Default always exists. It's the only one you can't delete. Any item that does not match special routing rules goes here.
• The Open Links In dropdown at the top lets you select the container tab you want the items to open in. The extension remembers what you have selected for each list, but you can change it at it any time. By default, the list will open in the same container as the currently open tab.


Creating a list!

• Click New next to the View List dropdown.
• Enter a name (Character, game, verse, whatever you want ).


Deleting a list!

• View the list you want to delete and click Delete.
• Any list except Default can be deleted.
• Deleting a list deletes all items in it.


Switching lists!

• Use View List dropdown at the top of the popup,
• The popup remembers the last list you used.


Adding items from Gmail!

• Gmail integration is on by default, you can turn it off in the settings if you just want in-site addition.
• When enabled, Dreamwidth notification emails gain two extra links. One beside the time received, and one beside "View the thread" at the end of the email.
• Clicking either will add it to the list, following your routing. If no routing exists, it will go to Default.
• My personal preference is to use the time link and the Gmail shortcut keys to quickly add tags to lists.


Alias mapping!

• Alias mapping lets you route Gmail notifications to specific lists based on the email address they were sent to. Using an alias is a common way of setting up labels per character. Using this method, you don't need to swap lists to get them in the right place.
• Example: example+character@gmail.com
· How to set up routing:
• Open the settings, and open Sent to email → List mapping.
• Enter the alias into the text box (just the alias, not the whole email, and select an existing list.
• From that point, anything that uses the alias will go to selected list. You can delete these any time.


On-site list additions!

· On-site list additions are enabled by default, you can off it off in the settings if you just want Gmail addition. This is useful for picking up top-levels you haven't replied to yet.
· When enabled, Dreamwidth comments gain a new link next to the native (link) option, (to-do).
· Clicking (to-do) will add the comment to the to-do list. They are routed via the container you're in at the time. It will be added to any list that defaults to opening in that container.


Done behaviour!

· Beside each entry in a list is the Done button. It's used for clearing items, but has three options for how it does it. This is configurable in Settings.


Options:
· Delete immediately: Clicking Done deletes the item instantly
• Mark done: First click, item is struck through. Second click: item is deleted.
• Auto-clear after X days: First click, item is struck through. Second click: item is deleted. After the set number of days, struck through items will be deleted.
• I added Mark done so it would be easy to have access to a thread such as for AC purposes. Auto-clear is in case you like to come back and review tags afterwards and edit, giving you a little breathing room.

Move button!

• Allows you to move an item to another list in the extension. You can make an archive list for favourite threads or useful resources, or tidy them away e.g. for AC at the end of the month if you don't like looking at struck through entries.
• Click move.
• Select destination list.
• Hit OK.


Duplicate handling!

• Controls what happens if you add the same comment twice. This is configurable in Settings.


Options:

• Allow duplicates: Lets you add the same comment multiple times to the same list.
• Skip duplicates: Checks if the comment is already on the list. If it is, it cancels it being added.
• Move existing item to top: Checks if the comment is already on the list. If so, it moves that comment to the top of the queue.
• This applies to both Gmail and Dreamwidth additions.


Multi-list routing!

• Routing rules can result in a comment be added to more than one list. E.g. If you have multiple lists set to open in the same container or you have the same alias mapped to more than one list.
• You can configure how the extension handles this in the settings.


Options:
• Add to all: Routing will work as normal for them all.
• Add to first: It will add it to the highest list only. (List rearrangement coming soon, hopefully)

Open destination!

• You can choose if opening a link will make it the active tab or open in the background. This is configurable in Settings.


Options:
• Foreground tab: Makes the comment the active tab.
• Background tab: Opens in the background.
