New Release: Desktop Notifications, Undelete and More
We just released 1.4.3 to the gallery. This new release adds some much-requested features as well as a few that take advantage of some new features in Chrome 5.
Desktop Notifications
You now have the option of receiving a desktop notification when a new song starts playing. The notification will show you the song, artist, album, site and cover art of the new song.
Notifications are off by default but can be turned on in the Settings page.
New Player Buttons
There are two new buttons on the bottom page player. This is the player that shows up on the bottom of the page if you are playing songs from that site. The first is the Home button. Click this and it will open up a new tab to the full extension (or focus the tab if it is already open). The second button is Remove. Click this and the player will remove itself from the page. It will stay off the page for the life of the tab. If you open the site on a new tab, the player will appear on that tab.
Undelete
You can now undelete a site that you previously deleted from your library. To undelete, just visit the site and click on the ExtensionFM button. You will see an option to undelete the site which will add the site and all its songs back to your library.
Unlimited Storage
Chrome 5 now allows extensions to have unlimited storage for its data. The previous limit was 5MB. Many people were hitting this limit as their libraries grew in size. Once the limit was hit, the extension stopped functioning properly. Unlimited storage fixes this problem.
As always, we’d love your feedback. Please join our Group and tell us what you think!
