Group Speed Dial by Juraj Mäsiar
Review by Firefox user 13511339
Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 13511339, 6 years agoVersion 7.6 messed up my previous dial-thumbnails. ALL OF THEM got a white border on top (setting: No title on dials), even they are all set up to be "centered" (dial ratio: fix 1×1). With version 7.5 they looked fine. Hope this will be fixed very, very soon! Thanks.
Edit: I found out, if "No title on dials" and ALSO "Dial names on bottom" is activated, you can avoid this bug.
BTW: I am expecting on "Refresh dials" to reload and refresh MY "Custom stored thumbnail file" (if chosen) and not to rebuild the dials with a web page preview!
P.S. Dial ratio seems to be changed again, but sadly not to be exact square (in v7.5 the were 256×246, in v7.6 they are now 256×249).
Is it so difficult to make them "at least" exact square (1:1, e. g. 256×256, 128×128 etc) if "dial ratio" is set "fix: 1×1?
Now – to avoid the white border – I have to edit all my customized thumbs. Too bad!

Padrocker
Edit 2 (after bug fix 7.7):
Many thanks to the developer, who instantly fixed the bug described in my review (well, it still appears, if you use the "No title on dials" in combination with "Dial names on bottom" activated – then on the bottom).
Anyway, it works for me now, deactivating "Dial names on bottom".
For his (developer's) very fast bug fix (within 1-2 hours!) I am updating my rating to 3.5 stars.
But It's still not understandable, why WE cannot have such a SIMPLE THING like REAL "square thumbs", and why the author uses really exotic thumbs' ratios, that even seem to change between versions – instead of making them simply SQUARE! (like most of all other programs/apps in a similar context do). Should all users edit all their customized image files on every GSD update? That's not very handy, isn't it.
Although I am quite happy for the add-on itself, substituting the out-dated "Speed Dial" (by Josep del Rio).
Kind regards,
Padrocker

- Rated 5 out of 5by mikwei, 8 days agoNever an issue, works on all browsers and OS's, sync sometimes slow, but a cloud access as well so you don't need to sync everywhere. Support has been great, and really it never fails. Some offer some better widget add-on but find this functions better/faster and very customizable.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Vlad, 21 days agoThank you for the quick correction of the bug, a wonderful application that works again like a clock, I change the rating perfectly.

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15944772, a month agoCrashes Firefox every night. I love this add on and have been using it for years, but finally isolated the persistent crashes to this specific add-on. I will have to disable it and look for an alternative. Would be five stars if it was stable.

posted a month agoHello,
Could you write me email (admin@fastaddons.com) with more details please? I would live to investigate this.
For example, is your PC running all night? And do you have "Auto-reload" enabled in some of your dials? There have been cases when auto-reload would fail if monitor disconnects itself when monitor goes to sleep but PC is still running.
But in any case, addons should not be possible to crash the browser, so sounds interesting.
Please let me know.

Juraj Mäsiar - Rated 1 out of 5by illgiveyoufish, a month agoIn the nonpro version you can't resize the size of the dials. Which makes it useless for me.
Developer response
posted a month agoHello,
Right click group name or open main menu and select "Edit group".
There you can change dimensions / layout.
The PRO feature for dial resize applies only to single dial. It should be less confusing in the upcoming release :)

Is there some error message?
Unless you are using some very old Firefox, everything should work.
Maybe this article will help:
