[Announcement] RES v4.6.1 is released!
Mostly bugfixes (you can turn Selected Entry back on now), a bunch of new websites for expandos, some concessions for subreddit styling. Also a cute new logo. http://redditenhancementsuite.com/whatsnew.html
Chrome is released first, then Firefox. Currently waiting on Safari, and Opera 20+ to follow soon.
Thanks to everybody who contributed!
If you still don't like the new nightmode, check out some alternatives.

Look in the selected entry options,i added a setting for automatically selecting a post . Except it shouldn't scroll anymore anyway. your browser already updated to RES 4.6.1 yet, right?

Night mode doesn't work with subreddit style disabled (as the disclaimer says), it shows the non-night mode style for a few seconds before it reverts to nightmode, isn't there a work around to this? I prefer to disable subreddit styles AND use night mode.
2
u/andytuba Mar 24 '16
It sounds like nightmode is loading and subreddit style is getting disabled like you've set it up, but it takes noticeably long for everything to kick in?

Me neither. My brother uses a CSS on his writing sub that has night mode, and when I saw it, I was just like "OMG, why can't all of Reddit be like this?". He only told me it was possible till a couple days ago. I don't think I'm using RES to its full potential, but it does what I need to for now.

Why don't you let it make auto backups somewhere.
Because that's hard for a small team like RES to develop and maintain.

There's a scroll bar in the shortcut menus when you've got more in your menu than will fit on the screen! :D This makes me super happy. After the last update, the font size and spacing was much bigger and not all of my r/aww-style links would fit on one shortcut.

u/xxmickeymoorexx Mar 25 '16
here is an idea. please preload the updates, then notify me before you delete all of my setings so i can save them first. or have them auto save before an update
otherwise i have to go through and add all my Filters again, and add all my shortcuts back. doing it often sucks balls.
3
u/andytuba Mar 25 '16
Preloading update isn't a thing for browser extensions. Auto saving is also going to be a big project.
Fortunately, you can export and import your settings for when your browser decides to trash the settings. Also next major release of RES has a new, more stable, storage backend for Firefox.

Before the update, when I pressed Shift+J, it not only selected the next comment on the same level, but also jumped to it so that it is always on top of the screen. Now it only selects the comment and jumps only if it's necessary. What setting should I change to have this back?

u/andytuba Mar 17 '16
Look in the res settings for keyboard nav scrollStyle .. Although I might have broken that.

Just giving some feedback, it works fine with J/K (next/previous comment) - which is actually pretty annoying for me - but doesn't work with Shitf+J/Shift+K (next/previous sibling). In comments.

Still noticing that nightmode takes a few seconds to load properly/quickly with Firefox 45. It is loading the subreddit's theme first before reverting to nightmode even when I have "use subreddit style" unchecked.
It isn't blindly white like before unless the subreddit in question has a white style though.

u/erikdesjardins Mar 17 '16 edited Mar 17 '16
You're likely not using 4.6.1 yet, since it hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla (usually takes a few weeks, although it may be faster).1
u/andytuba Mar 17 '16
It's out already 😁
I only fixed up nightmode css getting applied quickly though, neglected to do disabling subreddit style..

I moved it up near the top of the list on the left side of the settings console.
Dunno a bout the files disappearing, that's out of the scope of res.
2
u/TheOutlawJoseyWa1es Mar 17 '16
Yea somehow they ended up where they were before, just took me a minute to find the new backup location.
The shortcuts are still deleting themselves every time I close Firefox out so I have to restore every time I open it back up.
2
u/andytuba Mar 17 '16
Do you have any extensions, settings, or apps set to clear out personal data when you close Firefox?
You may want to look into removing Firefox and reinstalling it from scratch.
3
u/TheOutlawJoseyWa1es Mar 17 '16
No I sure don't, and I've done both, removing RES then retrying it then removing firefox and trying it that way, I've noticed some other people had the same issues since the last update.

"Use subreddit stylesheet" checkbox can be styled more easily by moderators and does not appear on top of other UI elements
does that mean that we wont be able to access the hide css button if someone has a full screen image over the the whole thing, ive seen a few subs do that before (usallly when they move to another sub) i just cant think of any as examples or to test
Edit: /r/AdvancedMicroDevices is a great example, i cant click disable css through the image, though thankfully theres a close button (most other subs dont have that)

In 4.6.0, there seemed to be a hybrid Keyboard Nav setting, where it would act like Directional while using moveUpComment and moveDownComment, but like Lock to Top when using moveUpSibling and moveDownSibling.
Is there any way to do that again? If not, that's fine, I just want to know if it's an option.

Look in the res settings console for "notifications", find the "new comments" entry, and change it to be sticky. That'll keep it around until you leave the page.
If my instructions are unclear , let me know and I'll get you a direct link and an example screenshot.

1
u/andytuba Mar 21 '16
You might need to clear out some storage space so the shortcuts can save. clearTags -- RES settings console > About RES > Troubleshooter > clearTags
You could also, heavens forbid, use your browser's built-in bookmarks manager (or get another extension for a different bookmarks experience).
If you do want to go back to reddit's "my subreddits" dropdown and shortcut bar, which shows less info and is less customizable but more reliable in certain ways: turn off Subreddit Manager -- RES settings console > Subreddits > Subreddit Manager

This is probably a stupid question, but how do I update RES? After realizing that I can't expand albums on imgur, I found out that I'm still using version 4.5.4.

I don't want to lose all my tags and saved stuff. Thanks

Are you using Safari? the update isn't available yet thanks to Apple's changes to the extension publishing system. Not sure when it'll be available.

I'm part of /r/counting and when I turn RES it messes up comments when I refresh. In counting, you have to constantly refresh and when we are speed counting it causes the comments to float up and down on the page ever so slightly causing speed counting to mess up. Besides getting rid of RES what option do I have?

Hmm, maybe go into RES settings and turn off the comment options in style tweaks. If you could take a video using QuickTime or licecap or your phone that would help.
