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?

Hi all,

I just did a quick fix for the display bug. Please try it and let me know if there's any other problems.

Thanks

Guys, thanks for posting the bug.

I am writing my phd thesis recently and have not much energy left on this issue. I will get it fixed as soon as possible.

best regards

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

This script worked perfectly for the longest time but now suddenly it doesn't work at all. In the new version of gmail the button shows up but when you click on it nothing happens and in the older version nothing shows up at all. I use this all the time and it would be great if it were working again.

sjb,

Thanks for pointing this out. Can you make it clear that the issue disappeared after you disable the Greasemonkey plugin or this script? This script does nothing related to the video card.

Thanks for this great idea, and almost great execution. =)

There is a peculiar issue I have discovered, and it relates to the way this script utilizes display adapters or video cards.

I have tested this on two different machines, one brand new and very fast, and the same issue occurs.

When this script is enabled in Greasemonkey, it causes Flash video (and possibly other video in and out of the browser) to "jump" at a consistent interval of around 1.5 seconds. This occurs regardless of the tab in which the video is viewed within Firefox.

Also, when I disable only this Greasemonkey plugin, I must refresh Gmail, and then the issue stops. When I reinable this plugin and refresh, it begins again.

It would be great to resolve this. It is very annoying. =)

Any thoughts?

Best,

pingeee:

In new Gmail, google provides a "Mark as read" action for filtering, which is exactly what you want .

Install the latest script to use it :)
