Good point; it should blow up in such a way that the developer can troubleshoot it. One of the reasons I hate threading. Glad you like IAT. :-) Yes.

As part of the 'boom!' process, I assume you feel that it should be simple to find the bug? Are there ways to ensure that happens? By the way, I love your It's All Text software and use it daily.

Sadly, one of the more recent places I worked had had a developer create code by the Tandem method and only partly finish. Some things blew up spectacularly, some not at all, and regardless, there was no one with experience, tribal knowledge, or proper documentation to fix anything when it did. :( This methodology is great, IF the developer is still around to fix his code after a spectacular meltdown.

I manually changed the value and installed the update. A quick test at an unrelated web site seems to verify that it will indeed work with v3.5.7... after the change.

If this plugin does actually work with 3.5, please set the minVersion to 3.5. I tried to file this as a bug report, but your Trac does not seem to support OpenID fully. I'm unable to log in using MyOpenID.com, and so I cannot file bug reports. You might want to check its configuration.

I tried it again after restarting FF and then again after a full computer reboot but got exactly the same error message about it not being compatible with Firefox 3.5.7 each time. On the description for v1.4, you wrote "It only works in FF3.6", is there perhaps someplace you've hardcoded it so it won't work in any lessor version of FF?

On the description for v1.4, you wrote “It only works in FF3.6″, is there perhaps someplace you’ve hardcoded it so it won’t work in any lessor version of FF?
