Canisbos Safari Extensions

Pickpocket 2.1

Sun, 27 May 2012 18:27:31 -0700

This version adds the ability to “pin” links. When a link is pinned, it remains in the unread list even after archiving.

Cloudmarks 1.6.20

Sat, 26 May 2012 17:56:07 -0700

Tweaked the icon and colors in the popover.

Pickpocket 2.0.10

Sat, 26 May 2012 17:02:27 -0700

New icons, updated popover colors.

Moofmarks is now Cloudmarks

Sat, 26 May 2012 11:10:49 -0700

And has a new icon.

Your installed copy of Moofmarks will become Cloudmarks on the next update. All settings will be preserved.

Pickpocket for Chrome now available

Fri, 25 May 2012 19:07:00 -0700

Well, I’ve gone and done it. I’ve released my first extension for Google Chrome. It’s Pickpocket (Safari version here).

If anyone wants to see any of my other extensions in a Chrome version, drop me a line. I’ll definitely consider making it.

Pickpocket 2.0.8

Fri, 25 May 2012 18:38:01 -0700

Two new features in this build:

A new option to auto-archive each link as soon as its tab is activated.
A settings popover. This contains the same options that are in the panel within the extension manager but is slightly more convenient. Access it by clicking the gear icon in the popover or an item in the action menu.

Pickpocket 2.0.7

Thu, 24 May 2012 23:24:24 -0700

Added an “Open all” link to the popover. It only appears when there are more than one unread links.

Moofmarks 1.6.18

Thu, 24 May 2012 10:36:23 -0700

Fixed a couple of really pretty bad bugs. The first one was in the code for submitting a new bookmark to Pinboard or Delicious. Hat tip to Roller for the bug report! The second was an infinite loop that occurred if you had zero bookmarks on your selected service. (Oops!)

Pickpocket 2.0.6

Wed, 23 May 2012 18:55:53 -0700

Fixed a thoroughly boneheaded bug that kept the “Retrieving links…” message from clearing on a successful first-time download of Pocket links. Stupid, stupid.

LinkThing 2.1.5

Tue, 22 May 2012 21:09:00 -0700

In this build, I’ve figured out a way to detect whether a link’s named target is an actually existing frame, and if it’s not, to ignore the target if it conflicts with your settings.

For example, say a link has a target value of my_target. Perhaps the link is on a page that is part of a frameset, in which case my_target is probably the name of another frame in the frameset, where the link is intended to open. In such a case, it would be inappropriate for LinkThing to alter the link’s target, forcing it to open in a new tab or in the same frame. For this reason, in the past, LinkThing refrained from interfering with links that had named targets.

But what if the link was not part of a frameset? In that case, there’s probably no particular reason the link’s target was set to my_target, other than to make it open in a new window/tab. Now, say you had set LinkThing to always open that site’s links in the current tab. LinkThing would fail to honor your wish, since it would refuse to interfere with the link. But in this case, that failure to honor your wish would not be for a good reason.

Now, LinkThing is smart enough to know whether a link’s named target refers to an actually existing frame or not. If it does not, LinkThing will ignore the target when it would conflict with your stated preferences for that site.

Pickpocket 2.0.5

Tue, 22 May 2012 09:24:33 -0700

Versions 2.0.2 through this one fix a number of small bugs. The latest was a bug that caused the selected link in the popover to open twice when you pressed Command-Enter to open all unread links.

Moofmarks 1.6.16

Mon, 21 May 2012 21:23:56 -0700

Various bug fixes.

Pickpocket 2.0.1

Mon, 21 May 2012 20:49:01 -0700

Added a way to open all unread links at once from the popover: press Command-Enter.

Pickpocket 2.0

Mon, 21 May 2012 18:28:47 -0700

This release adds a big new feature: a Moofmarks-style popover that lists your Pocket links, with a search bar. When the search bar is empty, it lists only your unread links.

If you’re already using Pickpocket, you won’t see the new popover unless you change the extension’s operation mode in Safari’s extension manager. (Look for the setting labeled “When I click the toolbar button”.)

LinkThing 2.1.4

Mon, 21 May 2012 15:54:54 -0700

This release adds a URL filter (a.k.a. blacklist) feature. Now you can define URLs, URL fragments, or regular expressions to specify sites and/or pages where LinkThing will be disabled.

Note: Each item in the filter list is actually treated as a regular expression. If you don’t know what that means, don’t worry about it—just enter incomplete URLs like “www.example.com”, and they’ll match what you want most of the time.

LinkThing 2.1.3

Thu, 17 May 2012 17:48:57 -0700

This release adds the same fixes as for gDirectLinks 1.0.1, described in the previous post.

gDirectLinks 1.0.1

Thu, 17 May 2012 17:06:44 -0700

This release hopefully fixes an issue where, if you clicked a Google image search thumbnail before it had a chance to expand to the large version, the click would not be handled by the extension.

Also, the extension now handles inline image results on ordinary search result pages, as well.

New extension: NavUpKey

Wed, 16 May 2012 22:15:38 -0700

This simple extension lets you navigate up a web site’s hierarchy, step by step, by typing ⌘⌥↑ (that’s Command-Option-Up). For example, if you’re viewing www.apple.com/support/lion, typing the shortcut will take you up to www.apple.com/support.

Safari actually has a built-in way to navigate up a site’s hierarchy. It’s accessed by ⌘-clicking the page title in the window’s title bar. This extension just provides a handy keyboard shortcut, like the Finder’s ⌘↑. (I could have used ⌘↑ here too, but that would have interfered with Safari’s built-in shortcut for scrolling to the top of the page. I felt that ⌘⌥↑ was the next best option.)

Download NavUpKey or read more (a very little more) about it.

PopSearch 1.9.7

Wed, 16 May 2012 11:07:08 -0700

Fixes a bug where the extension sometimes failed to hide the search suggestions menu when you opened the popover.

New extension: gDirectLinks

Tue, 15 May 2012 21:14:00 -0700

It prevents the substitution of indirect, click-tracking links for direct ones in Google search results. When you click a search result link, Safari will go straight to the destination instead of first loading a Google page that then redirects to the destination. Not only does this (hopefully) prevent click-tracking of search result links, it makes it easier to copy real URLs from them.

This extension’s functionality is a subset of LinkThing’s. If you use LinkThing and enable the Google link rewriting option, you don’t need gDirectLinks.

Download gDirectLinks or read more about it.
