Feb 13, 2008 goldenratio User	This worked for a while with Gmail2, but apparently Google updated Gmail once more, and now this script no longer works for me. My code-fu is weak but I suspect it's this line that is different among Gmail users: target.src.className == 'qn0D4e' How do I find the proper class name for my Gmail client?

Feb 11, 2008 Eugene Schava Scriptwright	It's a great script but it doesn't work with Gmail2 for me. So I've created my version at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/22635

Dec 28, 2007 ben hengst Script's author	howdy all, sorry it's taken me so long to update to match Gmail2.0. v0.03 of GLH now should match up with Gmail2.0.

Dec 11, 2007 ifieatturkey User	Please update! It's a great script!

Aug 28, 2007 Arthaey Angosii Scriptwright	I wrote a script based on this one, called Gmail Label Hider (pref-based, at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/11774 . It works by asking you which labels you want to hide, so you don't need to have your labels named with any particular prefix.

Apr 23, 2007 Emily User	doesn't appear to work with # either (which means that label coloring isn't compatible).

Feb 28, 2007 ben hengst Script's author	Britne: sorry that you couldn't get it to work, can you explain a bit more on how you were running things?

Feb 23, 2007 Britne User	couldn't get this to work. now back to unlabelling 30+ labels that now have "x_" in front of them...

Feb 22, 2007 ben hengst Script's author	Leonardo: good idea, I'll see what I can whip up for you.

Feb 22, 2007 ben hengst Script's author	Shruti: yes you can just search for label:x_LABEL as your labels are still there. Thanks for playing around with the script.

Jan 27, 2007 Shruti User	What happens when you want to search for that label? Do you have to type label:x_LABEL or label:LABEL?

Oct 22, 2006 Leonardo Sar... User	Hi, I was looking for a script like Gmail Labels Hider for a long time and I'm glad you did such a great work. I'd like to suggest you a link "Show All" next to "Edit Labels" which would show all labels.
