package for webstore #1

Closed swanson closed 11 years ago

swanson commented 11 years ago

Hi, this script works great - but the link in the readme is to the wrong extension.

Could you package it up for the webstore and update the link?

rufuspollock commented 11 years ago

@swanson thanks for reporting this - I did immediately change the URL but could not set it to webstore as had not uploaded yet. I'm about to get this published in the webstore and will close this issue once I have done and corrected the url!

@rgrp awesome thanks! My desktop used to be cluttered with report (6).csv from testing, but no longer do I have to deal with this pain! :+1:

@swanson I've got a first version up here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/recline-csv-viewer/ibfcfelnbfhlbpelldnngdcklnndhael

Could you try installing it and let me know how it works (it should work on local csv files too ...)

swanson commented 11 years ago

Error: package is invalid. Details: 'Could not load extension icon 'img/icon-128.png'.'.

rufuspollock commented 11 years ago

@swanson new version uploaded (and double-checked by me). Can you check again :-)

swanson commented 11 years ago

It installed fine - but doesn't seem to open csv in Chrome on Windows 7. The file just downloads like normal.

rufuspollock commented 11 years ago

@swanson have you ticked allow access to file urls in the chrome://extensions section?

swanson commented 11 years ago

It wasn't - so I checked it, restarted chrome and same thing.

rufuspollock commented 11 years ago

@swanson have you tried an online CSV file? Also any further details of exact steps you take which lead to it just downloading (and does the file name end in .csv)?

swanson commented 11 years ago

Yes it was an online CSV. I clicked a link that downloads the file, which was named "monthly_report.csv".

I also tried on Gmail - by exporting my contacts to CSV (Contacts > More > Export... pick CSV). Filename is "google.csv".

Neither opened with the extension :(

rufuspollock commented 11 years ago

@swanson i'm a bit stumped. It's working perfectly for me. Just to check you definitely have the latest version (0.2.0 I think). I also wonder whether you can look into chrome://extensions and have a look at the background_page console and also the console in the main window where you are clicking on the csv link.

BTW please note that if you just paste a csv link into your browser that won't work (the file will download) as the extension currently relies on intercepting click events on csv file links in a given webpage. (Hope to fix this up better soon)

Uninstall, reinstalled and it started working, weird!

Thanks!
