Appears moving the labels to the right hand side also interferes with the script. If I move the labels container back to the left column, it works fine. Any chance having the script updated to accommodate this new google labs feature?

Not behaving well with GTDInbox. When adding a label, label pops up, is selected, dropdown menu is activated and drops down, but label is not applied.

Edit:
Ok, I figured it out, it's GTDinbox fault. They modify the label names in their new version so that they contain email counts. I guess your selector picks up the name from the sidebar box and then modifies it in the dropdown box, so the labels are not equal. Revert to old version solves it. I thought I had tried that, but apparently install order matters... reinstall old GTDinbox, restart FF, reinstall present Macros, restart gmail (ctrl+F5).

Yes I can open the main help screen and navigate through the menus but the keys I assign do not seem to work. =(

Thank you so much sewpafly! That did the trick and I re-assigned the keys...

Although, the macros doesn't work, no matter what I assign =(

I double checked for collisions and cleared my cache a couple of times but no luck...

Any ideas?

Anyways, thank you so much again for your kind reply.

Sincerely,

I replied to that discussion but it seems to be moderated and my messages haven't gone through yet

Oh, by the way, in Safari I can refresh GMail without clearing the cache or anything and the script continues to work, so I'm guessing that the problem that shows up in FF with greasemonkey is related to the GM_* functions. Just in case you're interested in tracking down that problem (which I find kind of annoying when in linux and using FF)

Hi, I'm using Safari and GreaseKit and I was able to make your script work (kind of). All I had to do was replace the addEventListener part at the beggining for this:

window.addEventListener('load', function() {
  var gmailapi = typeof unsafeWindow != "undefined" && unsafeWindow.gmonkey || (frames.js ? frames.js.gmonkey : null)
  gmailapi.load('1.0', init)
}, true);

Also I had to add the following function:

function Iterator(o) {
    var r = [];
    for (x in o) {
        r.push(x);
    }
    return r;
}

There are several issues while using it in safari such as:
- you're unable to save mappings because GM_* functions don't appear to exist in GreaseKit
- transparency doesn't work
- probably many more issues since I just started trying it

I don't really care about transparency and mappings I can fix it by modifying the defaults in the script.

It would be great if you could adapt future versions of the scripts to at least work in this fashion (if you don't want to define the Iterator function for GreaseMonkey you probably could put it inside an "if" checking (typeof unsafeWindow == "undefined").

I am using Firefox 3 on Windows XP with Gmail. The script does not work - and neither does Mihai's. However, Mihai's works with FF2 on my laptop (also using winXP). Does anyone have a solution? I really desperately want to use this script as it made my life so much easier, and I am even thinking about downgrading this computer to FF2 to make it work again.

Posted problem update on power-users group.

Seems to be working again. I'll update if there are any further problems.

Worked yesterday... nothing today. r doesn't mark as read, l doesn't label. Not sure if this is google, or if it's just that my cache wasn't clear yesterday. I use GTDInbox and rememberthemilk as well, so I have a feeling it has something to do with it. Is there anything I can give you that will help assess the problem? Thanks for the great app!

I really want to use this script, but am having trouble getting it to work in conjunction with the "Remember the Milk" plugin. Any thoughts?

With reference to the 'label' macro - which has become absolutely essential for GMail (since I uploaded 2Gb of historical mail from outlook)...

I have a lot of folders with the same leaf-node name, e.g:

/Projects/Project1/Admin
/Projects/Project2/Admin
/Projects/Project3/Admin
/Projects/Project4/Admin
/Projects/Project5/Admin

so when I press 'l' and type 'Admin' it says there are 5 of them, but it's impossible to know which of the Projects it belongs to... Is it possible to show the full path in some way (when pressing the up and down buttons to select the alternatives) so I can tell which of the projects it belongs to?

It would be a really useful change...

Cheers, M

Scripts are working well today. Greasemonkey scripts have worked every time I opened gmail today (as compared to before). Something changed in gmail??? I haven't made any changes...

Hi sewpafly. This is an amazing script. Makes the whole gmail/email experience much better.

Lately the working of the script has been flaky. I don't think this is isolated to FF3 (it was even happening with FF2). I don't think this issues is even related to the script. Maybe greasemonkey and gmail. I noticed that when it happens, all my greasemonkey scripts for gmail stop working.

Any ideas on why this might be happening for me. I tried clearing the cache and reloading gmail. It only works once in a while.

I've cleared my FF cache and Macros started work again.
Thanks sewpafly for the help and thank you very much for the amazing must have script.
