An add-on for BlueGriffon localizers - smo

Fx was kind of reserved when I clicked the link: "Firefox prevented this site (bluegriffon) from asking you to install software on your computer."

I clicked "Allow" with vengeance;)

An add-on for BlueGriffon localizers - Michal Stanke

Thank you for this! It's nice to know immediately, if I miss any string.

Just small note: it would be more practical, if it's possible to minimize the checker window - it's impossible also to maximize it (now it's just manually spreadable; using W7 and FF8).

Anyway, nice job.

You can also add a catch-all that specifies runtime versions instead of application versions. This is what I have for Vietnamese Dictionary (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fi...):

<em:targetApplication>
<Description>
<em:id>toolkit@mozilla.org</em:id>
<em:minVersion>1.8.*</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>1.9.*</em:maxVersion>
</Description>
</em:targetApplication>

Sadly addons.mozilla.org only supports Firefox, Thunderbird, Firefox for mobile, SeaMonkey and Sunbird. So you cannot add BlueGriffon without creating a new version of the addon, which would give annoying update prompts to all users, no matter which Mozilla application they use. You also cannot update the maxVersion without creating a new version of the addon. Therefore I believe adding BlueGriffon to dictionaries uploaded on addons.mozilla.org makes things worse in general, not better.

I would much rather have a custom version of dictionaries on a site, which supports BlueGriffon in the update manifest. That would be better for all users of the addons, which would then not receive needless updates. Maybe you could file a bug with addons.mozilla.org about allowing arbitrary unknown applications in the update manifest. I haven't checked, but I would guess most dictionaries have a license which permits you to modify its install manifest and distribute that modification, and you could easily make a script for scraping them off AMO and publishing the modifications on your bluegriffon.org.

(I maintain the Danish dictionary addon)
