629368 - Suggestions for "List of Extensions" Output

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Other Applications Graveyard :: Nightly Tester Tools, enhancement)

Description

[WildcatRay]

With the release of Stylish 1.1, users now have all Extensions, Themes, Plugins, Styles, & Scripts output and mixed together when selecting Copy/Insert (their) List of Extensions from the NTT submenu. That makes things a royal pain if, like me, the user has many (79 combined) of these items installed.

I have some suggestions for improving this output.

First Possibility:

Separate menu line items for Extensions, Themes, Plugins, Styles, & Scripts.

Second Possibility:

Segregate the output of the current submenu item by Extensions, Themes, Plugins, Styles, & Scripts

Example:

Extensions:
Extension 1
Extension 2

Themes:
Theme 1
Theme 2

Plugins:
Plugin 1
Plugin 2

Style:
Style 1
Style 2

Script:
Script 1
Script 2

The MR Tech Toolkit extension used to have a bee-yoo-tiful list of installed extensions that could be saved in HTML (much prettier than about:support) but I don't know how well it has kept up with the addons-manager changes in Toolkit 2 (Firefox 4 etc.) and later.

Additional suggestion:
Display the current theme (and current Persona, if any) in bold; segregate extensions according to whether or not they're enabled.

FYI:
Issue 94 [1] landed in Nightly Tester Tools 3.5 [2]

It changes the default behavior of this feature to restrict the output to Extensions.

I hope this change is not a regression for you.
