Change Log

Version 1.0.4: Implemented fix for beeping sound that some users were experiencing. gregg submitted the patch to fix this issue. Thanks, gregg. The problem only occurred when the "Copy as plain text" option was enabled and a web page was clicked but no selection was made.

Version 1.0.3: Updated the manifest description (12/11/2009)

Version 1.0.2: Added two requested features. Copy as plain text (i.e. strip any formatting), and include the page URL with the copied text. (12/11/2009)

Version 1.0.1: Bug fix -- Selecting text in a text field when the text field option wasn't enabled would result in copying the selection to the clipboard if the mouse cursor moved outside of the text field before the mouseup event occurred. (12/09/2009)

Version 1.0.0: Initial release (12/08/2009)


Notes

The extension only works on pages with http:// or https:// in the URL. Also, content-scripts are automatically disabled in the Extension Gallery for security reasons. Please keep this in mind when testing the extension.


When an option is changed, web pages must be reloaded before the changed option will take effect.
