Dec 18, 2008 6:51pm Santiago Perez User	Hi everyone, I have made some modifications to this script that I believe may be of interest to many users. I haven't tested my changes to be fully cross-browser, but I could do it if there is enough interest and perhaps Arend could include some of these modifications if many users seem to be interested in them. The modifications are the following: * Regular Click : opens the label * Ctrl + Click : performs a search for that label and all its descendants * Shift + Click : searches for unread messages in that label * Ctrl + Shift + Click : searches for unread messages in that label and all its descendants * Alt + Click : applies that label to selected conversations * Alt + Shift + Click : removes that label from selected conversations * Regular Click on a parent label that doesn't exist behaves like Ctrl+Click Let me know what do you think about these modifications. @Arend: if you're interested in including any of these modifications let me know. For the apply/remove label functionality I had to add a piece of code from the GmailMacros script that simulates clicks to the More Actions Menu.

(my email is on the Folders4Gmail page) If you upload your version to userscripts.org, please post a link on this thread so that people can find it.

But I don't know which one of them works at the moment. http://userscripts.org/scripts/search?q=gmail+u... http://www.google.com/search?&q=gmail+unlabeled There's a problem though: Gmail labels don't work well with search. It seems that internally labels are applied to individual messages only. For example, if you receive an email and label it "Work" and then you reply to the message and receive replies back, only the first email in the conversation is labeled "Work". That means if you search for label:Work and some keyword that is not in the first message, the conversation will not be found. Also if you search for -label:Work the conversation will be found, because the replies are not labeled "Work". The unlabeled scripts are probably still usefull, but with the way Gmail handles labels & search be prepared for some glitches.

Would you consider changing your script? Out of interest, why did you pick such a frequent update interval?
