Integrate WM to the FF "add-ons" dialog

Reported by Olivier Cornu | September 12th, 2009 @ 09:51 PM | in 0.1a2

List installed userscripts in a "scripts" or "userscripts" tab in Firefox "Add-ons" dialog.
This idea has also been mentioned on GM issue 1012.

This is a major GUI update as the preferred script managing interface changes: userscripts present and behave as in the add-ons list. In other words, scripts are listed vertically, each one featuring:

  • an optional icon (see #17)
  • the script version (see #16)
  • the script description
  • an "options" button leading to the script config
  • a "disable" button
  • an "uninstall" button

For a start, the "options" button may redirect to the current manager.js with the corresponding script selected. The next step would be to design a script-centric config interface. WM options could be pushed back into WM "Add-ons" tab "options" button.

    I'm not sure if you keep up to date with the development of Greasemonkey. But Arantius has a nice beta of the new UI for GM 0.9.0. Its the exact same thing your talking about here, but without the script options, icon and version number.

    Thanks for the feedback!
    Yes, i've seen that on gm-dev, although between you and me i haven't found the time to check it out yet. I've been busy with other projects lately -- impressive what modern mobile phones can do. :-)
    Arantius expressed interest in coding this bit and it would have been a pity to do it twice (the extra you mention are merely cosmetic or in relation with the script update feature). As far as i know, none of WM code has been integrated back into GM so far, even though its core is faster, cleaner and... documented; I'm afraid this feature's code would have suffered the same fate, had i ever decided to do it myself.
