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?

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

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.

Please update! It's a great script!

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.

doesn't appear to work with # either (which means that label coloring isn't compatible).

Britne: sorry that you couldn't get it to work, can you explain a bit more on how you were running things?

 
Britne User

couldn't get this to work. now back to unlabelling 30+ labels that now have "x_" in front of them...

Leonardo: good idea, I'll see what I can whip up for you.

Shruti: yes you can just search for label:x_LABEL as your labels are still there. Thanks for playing around with the script.

 
Shruti User

What happens when you want to search for that label? Do you have to type label:x_LABEL or label:LABEL?

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.
