GTDInbox 3.0.22.5 Out Now

This is a bug fixing update, fixing a Gmail change that was making the sidebar disappear for some of you, ensuring the correct counts of ‘active items’ in the sidebar, and many more little bits and pieces.
Rob mentioned in a blog comment that we ought to have a dedicated communication channel for keeping everyone up to date on what we’re doing internally with development; and he’s absolutely correct. It feels excessive to use a blog post for such little updates, so Twitter would probably be the best format (but do let me know if the volume of updates becomes intrusive).
The next few updates look something like this:
1) Release another bug fixing update based on the feedback from 3.0.22.4 (the most major problem I’m aware of is that, in Firefox, “Compose Self” freezes the text editor).
2) Create a new ‘action bar’ in conversations. I’m going to do a blog post on this imminently to discuss the proposed changes before we start development on them – but I do think it’s a strong improvement!

Hot on the heels of 3.0.22.4, I’ve sorted through the problems you’ve reported and got as many as possible fixed.

I’ve actually managed to go pretty deep on the hunt for problems (it ended up taking over the entire day), and uncovered some fairly long-standing and low level issues. I’m a little embarrassed it has taken this long to notice them – and I won’t bore you with the gory technical details – but I hope this has led to more stability in some exceptional circumstances as well as a small boost in speed! (I’ve also found & fixed the problem that made the text editor freeze in Firefox when you clicked Compose Self).

I strongly suggest you upgrade to 3.0.22.5 as soon as possible.

Up next, a few more minor glitch fixes, and then back on with developing new features to add more control to your email.

    I see a sidebar with nothing in it – just blank space

    Sorry, Andy, Uservoice keeps looping me out of login. I want3d to get this to you quickly:

    Immediately failed/hung install of GTDinbox 3.0.225 compromised Chrome—slowed it to a crawl; also seemed to crash Yoono. Force quit. Disabled (rather than uninstalled) GTDInbox. Chrome (?) had uninstalled Yoono—there was no trace of it in the extensions window—perhaps for security, since I didn’t respond to the crash notice. Restored last session. Chrome back to normal.

    Best,
    M.

    This is distressing. I’ve just now updated my Chrome GTDInbox plus and it is still hiding my labels that contain unread messages. The only way I can find them is by doing a search. That means unless I do a search I have no idea that some email messages have come in. Yikes!

    Hi sm,

    Could you try uninstalling GTDInbox from Chrome, restarting Chrome, and then reinstalling the latest version of GTDInbox. (I assume you’re using Chrome!).

    Chrome has problems upgrading addons by hand, and you need to be sure you’ve uninstalled the previous version before continuing (and that you also close and reopen the Gmail tab).

    Hi Michael,

    I’ve dropped you an email about this. I’m going to look into this immediately.

    Hi luxmissus,

    Are these the labels on the left-hand sidebar? GTDInbox purposefully hides them in case you don’t need them, but you can easily re-show them again. Just click “Recent Labels” (below “All Mail”) and they should reappear. Please let me know if that isn’t what you meant!

    Hi Andy,

    I am using Plus. The “Scheduled” button in the sidebar still shows nothing when pressed in my Firefox 3.6.3. Just the title “SCHEDULED”, but no “Today”, “Overdue”, “Tomorrow”, etc (like it does in my Chrome).
    Thanks for the good work!

    Thanks Luis, I’ve found the problem! I’m going to release 3.0.22.6 – with the fix – in the next few hours.
