The following is an archive of comments made before threaded discussions was implemented (November 16th, 2008)

I'm working on a complete rewrite version of this script with some new features. Stay tuned.

Nicely done, Edo78.

Any way to reduce the font size and/or position the box above the labels box?

Yeah, I've done it !!!

I'm trying to fix this script but it has a lot of problem (I think because of gmail/greasemonkey update) one of that I can't yet fix completely :-(

The biggest problem is related to a greasemonkey update and is described here http://wiki.greasespot.net/0.7.20080121.0_compa...

I'm not to good in javascript programming (not yet ;-) at least) and change the getData function into

function getData() {
  var value;
  window.setTimeout(function() {
    value = GM_getValue(hostId(), "to me directly|#search/to%3Ame\n");
  }, 0);
  while(typeof(value)=="undefined") {
    /* if you know how to use a "sleep" like function you can safely remove this crappy alert*/
    alert("this alert is useful only to wait for the setTimeou to retrive the searches");
  }
  return value;
}

The second problem is a little one, probably coming from a gmail update ... every window.location must be changed in top.location because gmail load itself in a frame.

Hoping this can help.
Meanwhile I try to solve the "alert" problem ...

I have the same problem described by tcustomgolf ...
I try it in a clean FF profile only with greasemonkey and your script :-(

Not working for me...I get the arrow and searches bar, but when I try to open the bar to expand, nothing shows....and I disable all other GM scripts..

FYI, there is a conflict between this script and the TopLabels script. When TopLabels is installed, the saved searches do not load properly.

For me, Saved Searches is preferable to TopLabels, but it'd be nice to be able to use both.
