Complete lack of documentation #18

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
There is a horrid lack of documentation in this project - the readme is no 
help, nor it the website. I 
can't figure out how to add scripts - going to Manage Scripts, nothing is 
editable and clicking "Add" 
next to either Include or Exclude produces no result. No error to indicate 
something is wrong and 
nothing to interact with.

You can add scripts by visiting *.user.js links, for instance at 
userscripts.org. I 
think the reason the documentation is so poor (And I agree that it is.) is that 
the 
devs assume people are used to Greasemonkey on Firefox and are simply jumping 
over 
to Safari for whatever reason. If you're coming from a direct link from a 
plugin 
resource or something like that, I agree you'll be lost as last year's Easter 
egg. 
Hope this helps.

But, I must caution, do not expect all Greasemonkey scripts to work with 
GreaseKit. 
Even Greased Lightbox, which advertises itself as GreaseKit-compatible doesn't 
work 
for me.

Alright, I'd never done that before - I'm using Opera. However, there are a few 
scripts that when I click on they don't even add themselves to the Greasekit. A 
few 
people have confirmed these scripts will work with Greasekit, but clicking the 
link 
to the necessary ones doesn't really work, it seems.

Usually, you click on the link to the page for the script and then there is an 
"Install this script" link that actually 
does the install.

Userscripts.org doesn't work with greasekit because you are never taken to a 
http://www.userscripts.org/****.user.js unless you force safari to do so. 
Safari will just automatically save 
anchor references to ***.user,js files to your download folder. The lack of 
documentation is embarrassing. 
Especially for somebody releasing code into a large community like the 
greasemonkey community.

I have created two Google groups:

http://groups.google.com/group/greasekit-dev for the development of GreaseKit
http://groups.google.com/group/greasekit-users for the use and development of 
userscripts

Kato Kazuyoshi: I can make you the owner of the groups if you like. I just 
wanted to
make sure this would actually be done.
