Label To Top

Moves labels with unread conversations to top of "Labels" list in GMail.

This script moves any label that contains unread conversations to the top of the "Labels" list in GMail. I've got a ton of labels and I tend to filter them all straight to the label itself by skipping the inbox. I have to constantly scroll up and down the page to find out which labels have new (unread) items. I no longer need to do that with this script.

// RELEASE NOTES
// =============
// v1.1 (12/14/2007)
// * Added ability to control behavior through settings in script.
// * Added code to make unread count on labels appear in front of label instead of behind.
//
// v1.0 (11/25/2007)
// * Initial release of script.
//
//
// KNOWN ISSUES
// ============
// * Only works with new Gmail interface.
// * Will not work in conjunction with Folders4Gmail.
// * Rewriting unread count on labels breaks the 'Go To Label' macro in Gmail Macros script which
// is included with the Better Gmail Firefox Addon.

I've installed scripts before, but my memory fails - any chance you could use www.projectjing.com to do a quick screen tutorial for us novices... they now offer FTP upload of video files or free screencasting posting up to like 10megs (i think)
thanks - you rule!

Good suggestion, I'll get that in there ASAP.

Awesome extention. A minor suggestion, would be nice to have the label text separated into two links. The label text would link to the conversations with that label, while the unread count (eg "(3)" ) would link to only the unread mail of a particular label. Searching for "label:blah is:unread" can then be avoided.

I'd really like to see a version that works with old gmail since I still use it since nearly all my scripts still dont work with the new version

I use Folders4Gmail, and this script doesn't work too well with it. But it's a nice script on its own. Good work!
