Thanks, this script really makes mangafox more enjoyable. I was especially surprised that you bothered to implement a zoom function. Great idea! Now the only thing I miss is the mangafox bookmark button. Thanks for your work! |

Your welcome and thanks for the feedback. ^_^ I have thought about creating a script based bookmark but it's within the features that are currently onhold. If I do implement a bookmark, it would be best to use it sparingly as the larger the number of bookmarks, the slower the overall script would become so I'm not sure if it's worth it. There is alot of things I could do with this script but I'm not sure whether i should implement them or not. It would come at the cost of increase script complexity making the script somewhat slower for each new feature. I'm definitely interested in your feedback though. Things like what you would want to see in this script and things that have been implemented but you don't care for (like the manual page mode vs the continuous page mode). I'm currently working on optimizing a part of the script. |

I use the continuous page mode exclusively and I set the max amount of pictures to 50 - basically I want the whole chapter to load. Firefox doesn't seem to mind if a page has 7 or 70 images loaded. regarding the bookmark thing: I didn't mean that you should implement a bookmark feature. Mangafox already has one built in. You'd just need to provide the same button/link that's already there. |

Hmm, after some thought, working around the website's bookmark is probably best. I'll probably end up getting rid of manual page mode as it's too much work and extra code to support both methods of viewing especially once you start to add things like bookmark support. I'll work on adding bookmark support next. |

Ahh, I noticed the problem and am working on it. Just a minor issue in the way it grabs images (version 2.1 made the script faster but introduced this bug). The next version will fix it while keeping the speed improvement. Just haven't gotten around to finishing it. It might be a week or so as family for this week and start of college for next week, finding time until things settle might be a bit rough. If you can't wait, you can always install back version 2.0 for now. As for continuous mode, it's weird that it fixes that for you. Basically it extra code that autoloads more images if you reach the end of the page. It basically to keep the scroll bar the same size while letting you view the entire chapter without having to change a single page. So a limit of 9 images, you scroll down to the bottom, and it hide the top 6(9*75%) and loads the next 6 images. You can just click on the hidden images seperator to reshow the images if you need to backtract. Thought it be a good idea but I'm thinking of removing it and just loading the entire chapter. Current status:

Heh, the work was almost done already it seems so it was quick to finish once I found time at home. Still a few things I wanted to do before releasing an update but the bugfix takes priority and I likely won't have too much time till later. |
