Im glad you pointed this out. I recently changed over to gmail and found this script and have uninstalled it and reinstalled it many times to try to get it to work. Even installed Better Gmail 2 that has it and it hasnt worked. I guess google changed something?

for the past month or so it appears that it's no longer working in gmail. i no longer have the filter assistant tab next to the reply button in gmail.

Fix the name of the script please, replied by Eyal Soha

I use the Script Autoupdater for greasemonkey and it doesn't work with your script because in the source your script is called:

"Gmail Filter Assistant"

but on userscripts.org it is called:

"Gmail Filter Assistant v0.19"

If you can remove the " v0.19" from the title of the script, that would be nice.

not grabbing sender address, replied by lch

My filter assistant is no longer grabbing the sender's email address.
This makes it basically useless, because copying and pasting the sender's
address is a cumbersome task that defeats the whole purpose of the script.

Gmail built-in "Filter message like this" is more convenient at this point.

Can you do something about it?

Thanx,
LCH

Is this now solely developed as a part of Better Gmail 2 firefox extension?

Hi,

could you please incorporate a textarea to add custom filter queries?

My filter assistant is no longer grabbing the senders email address. It still populates mine fine but the senders address is blank every time. Is this some known conflict? I just reinstalled the script and it's still doing it.

Hi Amos,

Maybe this is not the best place to ask, but you must have done some reverse-engineering / guessing of how Message IDs work in Gmail... could you help me? I'm trying to write a script that fetches certain headers of a Gmail message, but the only obstacle is that I can't figure out how to get the "id" (what Gmail uses) of a message. When there is only one message in a thread ("conversation"), it can be got from the URL, otherwise I don't know... it doesn't seem to be stored in the DOM; do you have to intercept one of Gmail's js functions to find out?

Thanks for any help, shreevatsa.public [AT] gmail [DOT] com

I have found a style for what iforget talked about : http://userstyles.org/styles/9191
but you also need to update the main style you use.
Only problem I found with this style is that the script add new label action is in java script and not implement with the gmail add new label action.
ming , can you please update the new label request so it will not look like an old script window?

iforget:

The thing you see in Gmail is not from GFA, it's from Google. I guess the problem is from the style you are using.

Bit of a problem: the filter assistant opens, but behind the existing buttons.
See here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/2kqo21
Anyone else experienced this?

Bouphecr,

There's a change of message id in Gmail. That made the script stop working. Thanks for pointing it out. I've made an update. Please install the new script. It should work now.

It's not working for me. I see the filter assistant button in each email. It appears exactly as in the screenshots. However, when I click the button, nothing happens...nothing at all.

Leonchen,

Are you still using old version of Gmail? This script now only works with new Gmail.

I use a ton of filters, wish I would have found this earlier! It will come in handy in the future. Great script, thanks.

Karin,

If what you mean is "Mark as read" option in the action list, check this pic to see where it is. :)

I'd love to use the 'read as marked' filter, but it's not available in my Filter Assistant. I successfully installed the script and the Filter Assistant is present in my gMail, but the option 'read as marked' is not there. No errors in my error console. Using Firefox on a Mac, could that be the problem?

Same problem here, too. I miss the filter assistant. It is also no longer included in the Better Gmail extension. Is it even updated anymore?

Best, Astrid
