Just a quick announcement, GTDInbox 2.0.9.3 is ready as a beta release for the blog. There’s no new functionality, but it was due some bug fixes.
Thanks to Jim Passmore for keeping an eye on ongoing bugs, and Nathan Sudds for a few recent pointers!
Things fixed in 2.0.9.3:
1) Make sure it installs ok (was grey-screening it)
2) Make Options work properly (again, grey-screening it)
3) Question whether to install Status labels on new accounts (some accounts don’t want to be GTD!)
4) Make sure Finish works when you double click
5) STOP “GTDINBOX FAILED TO LOAD” (capitals here because it was such a pain, and I think it’s under control… touch wood)
6) Make sure Reply to Self always shows who it is sending the message too (just in case it develops a bug)
7) Ensure the ‘More Actions’ menu works even when invoked with a keyboard shortcut (.)
8 ) Make the colour box on the Labels always show (may still fail if label nesting too deep)
I tried to look into some problems reported on the forum, but could not replicate them. Any ideas are welcome.
* Hipster Print has weird results with Context or multiple accounts (worked fine in every condition for me).
Ok, coming in 2.0.9.4 (due within 2 weeks):
1) Add Unread email as an inbuilt Modify Reviews
2) Make Statuses & Recent Projects dropdown/inline an Option (like the other types of label)
3) Add ‘Remove All Labels’ to the More Actions drop down and the popup
4) Option to disable Labels box modification (if want to use Folders4Gmail)
5) Option to hide labels dropdown after adding/removing a label (rather than staying open)
6) Correct Status counts in Labels box
7) Make sure colour boxes stay in place even with nested labels
8 ) Add new Label types (more like ‘Statuses’ ‘Contexts’ etc.)
9) Do more to backup/share Modify Reviews
10) In More Actions, add the ability to Delete and Move Next

Andy,
Seems to have fixed the old problems nicely. I also really like the flexibility to have drop down or inline labels introduced earlier.
My new problem seems to be when I click options, the entire screen goes semi-transparent grey, but there is no options dialog box or buttons to click. All I can do is refresh Gmail to get out of it. Maybe this is a GTD implementation of Glabs’ Email Addict?

I have the same problem, using the supplied link to http://gtdinbox.com/gtdinbox_2-0-9-3b1.xpi so I can’t really test it.

Just a quick query just loaded latest version 209.3b1 not sure if it is working any better. I have problems when i select Options i get a grey screen which blocks me from doing anything. I see no options just a grey screen. Also in the addon panel in FF my options is greyed out ???

Thanks all, I thought I’d fixed that. I will get it patched up later today.
