My Gmail just updated label structure, which breaks the script.
I thought, at first, that it would do what this script does.. but they're still far away.

Anyway, I think this one will be hard to fix, because there's no labelbox anymore. What's your expectations CloudKicker?

Essentially now there are two label boxes, one shown and one hidden. Perhaps it would be possible to separately show the hierarchical structure of the labels within each box (not sure how to deal with the fact that different parts of the hierarchy might be shown vs. hidden -- maybe automatically show whatever hidden parts need to be shown to complete the hierarchy). An alternative may be simply to have the user show all labels and proceed as usual from there (i.e., give up the new label hiding functionality in favor of the label links display functionality).

Luckily the new box just seems to be hidden. They are not dynamically loading every time. So I should be able to recreate the old functionality.

Though it might take me a little while.

The update seems to work for me on Firefox. Looks like you have to "show" all of your labels for it to work properly. I haven't thought through the feasibility, but any plans to allow hiding of some labels, so it would show the hierarchy separately for the shown and hidden labels?

I also use LL4G in Google Chrome via a bookmarklet (Chrome Monkey) -- the only way I could get LL4G to work for me in Chrome on my system. The updated LL4G doesn't seem to work via this method, though.

@Atan It worked perfectly for me, I can even hide labels and it works as expected.
@CloudKicker It's working fine, it deprecated almost all options usage and special ?labels for folders. But maybe this way its easier for newbies to set-up and start using LL4G.

OK, looks like it works in Firefox even if you hide some labels. However, if you show a label, you also have to show all labels above it in its hierarchy, or it won't appear at all (I guess that's reasonable). I'm not sure if this is intentional, but the hierarchy does not show among the hidden labels (only the shown labels). I suppose showing the hierarchy for the hidden labels could get tricky -- if you hide a given label but show its parent label, then it won't be able to be displayed hierarchically in the hidden label box.

I also notice that the shown label box doesn't expand when you hover over it -- I miss that.

And it still doesn't work at all for me in Chrome using the Chrome Monkey bookmarklet.

Thanks for working so diligently on an update, though -- Google made quite a change to have to adapt to.

You may wanna try not using "Chrome Monkey". The latest beta version of Chrome is capable of running scripts.

Also Atan, you make a good point about the hidden labels.

Apparently, all the labels are preloaded. And they all subscribe to the same class. So we could definitely work some magic here, just not sure what method would be the most intuitive and productive for users.

If you have any ideas let me know.
