ActiveInbox Blog. Turn Gmail into a productivity powerhouse with ActiveInbox

GTDInbox 3.0.22.11 Fixes Sidebar Counts and Inbox Preview

Hi all,

This morning Gmail did a change that stopped us being able to count the number of active items (those with a Status or Deadline) in your account; as well as the Inbox Preview popup. I’ve just got it fixed (links below).

Just a quick word on what else is going on…

First, support emails. We’re juggling a little bit here, mostly because I’m constantly switching between development, customer support, feature design and the background business stuff. The important bit is I listen to everything we receive; but right now I’m prioritizing coding fixes and updates and then trying to respond when I get the opportunity — which means it can take a while (I go as fast as possible!). I do feel this frustration acutely. We’re focusing on getting the product to the point where the feature set has hit full usefulness to the work day, and we can bring in the revenue that will enable us to provide great support. We are getting there! (The one thing we always ensure is that if there’s a major Gmail change – as there was earlier today, we have an “all stop” where we drop everything to get it fixed and shipped).

Recently, Pete and I have been focused on a major update to GTDInbox: a website overhaul, some major new features, and the new name. This also includes a lot of the feedback you’ve provided us on the new Reviews sidebar, and the Dashboard/Popup. The next big blog post will preview what’s coming!

Installing 3.0.22.11 for Firefox

Please go to http://www.gtdinbox.com/gettingstarted.htm

Installing 3.0.22.11 for Chrome

This is important – Chrome can have difficulties upgrading addons, so we suggest you close Gmail, uninstall the old GTDInbox, and then install the latest version.

To install, please download http://www.gtdinbox.com/gtdinbox_3-0-22-11.crx to your computer, and then open the file with Chrome (by dragging the file onto a Chrome window, and clicking ‘continue’ in the bottom left).

Not sure if its just me, but after I uninstall Chrome Extension and then install the new .11 one, it doesnt show up in Extensions. I tried closing Chrome and reinstalling a few times.

This is on Snow Leopard…will try to gram another Mac and see if the same thing happens.

Hi Rich,

With Chrome I now seem to have to drop the CRX file onto the Extensions page twice (and click ‘Continue’ both times in the bottom left) before it will show me the “Install” box. Perhaps you could try adding it twice in quick succession?

I’ve just tried installing it again, and it worked on OSX 10.5.

Took me 3 or 4 tries(drags) before I finally got a warning about GTD being able to access my emails, etc… Afte I said Yes it installed.

Thanx for the help.

This file just refuses to install for me. I’ve tried installing it a dozen times, and it keeps asking me if I want to discard or continue, and I click ‘continue’ and nothing else happens. The last update I did I had to do the same, but it worked after two or three tries. This one ain’t.

Not good, since I rely on this program multiple times a day…

I managed it at last after re-starting Chrome a couple of times.

I had the same experience as Andy.

Bug report: Firefox version

Some of my labels are long and therefore wrap onto two lines in both the label drop lists and the dashboard section lists (Statuses, Projects, etc). Since the last couple of upgrades, the second line of the label is unreadbale, and the two lines overlap and lie over the top of each other, making the label difficult if not impossible to read.

Look forward to the fix!

Yeah, when looking at scheduled lists this happens. May as well just hide the that from the enduser for the scheduled stuff, since it’s visually useless (and ugly)

This version will not install for me on Snow Leopard.

The Overdue scheduled button does not seem to work on the first of the month… I think the reason is apparent when you look into it so I won’t go into the details…
