@Tenkely: The links that are present in that file represents the unread feeds you have. The “1000″ is just a number representing the max number of feeds. Check your subscriptions and make sure you have read everything. There should be 0 new items on this page.
@spitfire: Strange, are you logged in to Google Reader? Sign in via this link!
Hi! Thanks for this extension. I dunno what’s the timeout for checking feeds but it seems very short…
May it be possible to configurate like the item count in the next version?
hope with “https://”, “https://www.google.com/reader/view/”, and thanks! ^_^
Why I can’t download nothing? When I try to add a plugin for Chrome I press the “Add to Crome” button and it appears an alert: “Invalid value for permisions[0]“.
Yes, my version is a little lower, I will try after I install the new version.
Thanks very much!
This extension don`t work in linux!
This is truly a great extension, thank you!
its still displaying 1000 unread messages even though I have 0 unread messages. Can someone check on this?
Great extension, thank you!
I would be happy to add a quick view function like at gmail checker. If I click to the icon the new stuff comes down with a title and the first sentence. OR my reader categories OR my subscribsions could be listed. If you know what I think
its still displaying 1000 unread messages even though I have 0 unread messages. Can someone check on this?
Well it isn’t working properly. =\ it is showing 208 unread feeds and i just got 3. =\
Try the new version (1.2) and see if there’s any change in the unread count mystery.
The new version (1.2) is great! ^_^
in using
3ks
Can you add an option that will open a new tab with the first item in my unread items (the original webpage, not in google reader) when clicking the button.
Such that if I have 3 unread items, three clicks on the button will open 3 tabs, each of the unread webpage?
This is a nice option in another google reader checker which I like less.
Thanks.
I’m getting invalid value for permission
Hi! I like your extension, I use the GMail Checker too… and I miss the preview list of unreal emails that appears when I click in the icon, on GReader Checker.
Maybe by folder, or something like that, I don’t know =P
Great extensions!! Congrats =)
when i try to use “google reader offline”,i got the error”A connection to the internet could not be made. Would you prefer to read in offline mode? It is possible that not all of the items available for download have been captured.”
but when i disabled the google reader checker ,it becomes fine.So i think the extensions cause the error for offline
Just now,it’s fine to go offline by choosing “always use ssl”.
Great extension! One thing I’d like to see would be more icon set choices, like what you’ve done with your gmail notifier extension (I use the ‘chromified’ icon set for that one, which I think looks more streamlined than the default). Similar ‘chromified’ icons for the reader extension would be a great addition, as I find the size of the default icon to be a little bit too large.
Just a minor suggestion, but otherwise, great work!
I love this extension. However I did notice when I pulled up Chrome Task Manager (Shift-Esc) that the extension was using about 125MBs of RAM. After restarting Chrome it was back down to 6MBs or so. Not sure if you can do anything about that, but it does seen excessive. If you need more details or anything feel free to contact me at the website I listed.
It’ll be great if a subset of the feeds to be monitored can be specified.
New features have been implemented in version 0.5.3.3, among them the most requested is the SSL support (turn it on in options).
Memory leak, badly. I don’t know why
New version, 1.3, out. Added 3 more icon sets and rewrote item parsing using JSON instead. Post comments and bugs here as usual!
Perfect. Make please checker for Google Wave with same way
I found two bugs:
1. When I choose the chromified icon sets I see only dots instead of the icon. I had the same mistake with the wave checker extension by the way, but the gmail checker runs perfectly with the chromified set.
2. The color of the icon does not change when I have unread items (default set). I see the red counter at the bottom of the icon, but the rest of the picture remains gray.
I already tried reloading the extension, nothing changed.
Otherwise great extension, very useful and comfortable.
What do you mean by “dots”?
Go to chrome://extensions/, click developer mode, then “background.html”-link beneath the Google Reader Checker entry. From there you click on the JavaScript console button, second from left in the lower left corner.
If anything has gone wrong when loading the icons it should say in that window. Try to reinstall the extension if nothing helps.
It found the following error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘width’ of undefined
chrome/ExtensionProcessBindings:369
I tried to reinstall, but it did not help. Any idea?
What OS and Chrome version are you running? I’ve only tested it on Win7 with latest dev version so it’s bound to have some bugs.
Latest dev. version, but I still use the good old XP.
Cannot widescreen resolution be a problem?
Hm… I have a widescreen at work and haven’t experienced any problems there (Win7 though). Try fiddling around in the setIcon-function in background.html and see if you can find any solution, probably around line 73.
Anyway you can update the icons on this to match the google reader favicon?
Yes, open the extension folder in the User Data directory and go to the icon-folder in the Google Reader extensions directory. There you can replace any icon sets you wish for your own.
Thanks a bunch, this is a nice extension!
If you want the unread count to be erased when you click the badge to go to Google Reader (useful if you set the timeout to be something longer than 15 seconds for procrastination prevention), you can find the background.html file in the directory that destructoBOT just mentioned, search for chrome.tabs.getAllInWindow(null, tabSearch); and simply add the line updateUnreadCount(0); above it.
So it looks like so:
updateUnreadCount(0);
chrome.tabs.getAllInWindow(null, tabSearch);
@destructoBOT, I would say that turning the above into an option would be an easy and awesome idea, for those of us who would like Reader to be checked, say, every 20 minutes; I imagine there are ways you could do it even more gracefully than how I provided.
I think it would be great to have a right-click option for automaticly making as read
and also a link next to “refresh”, that’s “mark all as read”
What do you think about that ?
