Fresh install - imported settings - no tile icon updates

[GoogleCodeExporter]

To submit a bug report, please answer the questions below.
Or if this is a feature request, the questions below can be deleted.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Export Fauxbar settings (Fauxbar > Options > Management > Export)
2. Import settings back into a freshly installed OS/Chrome

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

All settings and tiles have been imported successfully, however the tile icons 
aren't updating. I've also added new tiles since the import, these are also not 
updating and still show the default Red Panda icon.

Which version of Fauxbar and Chrome are you using, and which operating
system?

Windows 7 x64 SP1
Fauxbar 1.2.10

Please provide any additional information below.

Have recently carried out a complete fresh install of my system (Windows, 
Chrome etc)

Hi, i have exactly the same problem.
It worked all fine until i deleted all browser history data (including all 
options) with the google build in tools.
Now the tile pictures (mini previews) dont get generated anymore (showing 
default placeholder).

I'm having the same problem with a new computer.  I can add that it persists 
even if I uninstall and reinstall the extension.

I need to double-check for myself, but I believe Fauxbar's thumbnail-creation 
code is outdated; a new/recent version of Chrome has deprecated some internal 
functions that Fauxbar relies on.

Some notes that I jotted down the other day regarding this:

1. Webkit prefixing here:

window.webkitRequestFileSystem(window.PERSISTENT, 1024 ...

2. new Blob stuff:

// write the ArrayBuffer to a blob, and you're done
//var bb = new window.WebKitBlobBuilder(); // or just BlobBuilder() if not 
using Chrome
//bb.append(ab);
var blob = new Blob([ab]);
//return bb.getBlob(mimeString);
return blob;

/////////////

Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function
js/common-1.js, line 321

This has now been fixed in Fauxbar v1.2.11.

Awesome - that was quick!

I can confirm it's 90% working now. The only tiles that don't seem to work now 
(which did previously) seem to be HTTPS links (www.xbox.com / www.facebook.com 
etc). Is there anything obvious that could be stopping those from updating?

Thanks for looking at this so quickly! :)

@carafennec
Fauxbar is creating thumbnails for HTTPS sites fine for me; banking sites, 
Facebook, Twitter...

Once a page has finished loading, as long as the page hasn't scrolled down (eg 
scrollbar is still at the top, untouched), Fauxbar should take a screenshot 
within 1 second.

Ah okay, so i've removed those tiles and re-added them - they've now
properly updated - yay!

Thanks :)
