Version 4.0.0 / 4.0.1

Hello everyone,

My apologies for the lack of updates. Today, AutoRename version 4.0.1 is now live for everyone.

What's new?

• You can now queue images for downloading. All you need to do is right click on the image and select Add to Download Queue. When you download files from the queue, it will be saved as a ZIP file. Or, you have the option to download the files individually. Note, this feature is not yet supported for Reddit (planned for the next version)
  
• You can now save images to a custom folder in your Downloads folder. When enabled, a folder called AutoRename will be created in your Downloads folder. If you save an image using the extension, it will be stored here.
• [Twitter] When you set randomized string to 0, it will get the photo count order. For example, if the tweet has 3 images, The file name will have img1, img2, and img3
• [Twitter] If you enabled the functionality to save the images to the AutoRename folder, you have the option to save the image to a folder based on the username it came from. Pretty neat right? It will make it easier to sort out your files!
• When adding files to download queue, the number of files in queue will appear in your browser toolbar
• On the options page, the extension will remember the last tab you were on. Previously, it always land on the general page
• Add support for Apple Silicon and Windows on ARM for platform info
• Add support for Windows 11 22H2 under Operating System in About page
• LINE BLOG is no longer supported in this version as the service is terminated as of March 30, 2023

Bug Fixes/Backend Improvements

• Download API has been overhauled to support the new features implemented
• In Twitter DMs, the context menu for AutoRename will no longer appear
• Minor UI improvements
• Upgraded from Manifest V2 to Manifest V3
• Updated file structure to be more simplified
• Many other refactoring across the extension
• Restored options page title

Emergency Patch

Users that installed the extension via Chrome Web Store, please be advised that an emergency update will be rolled out after version 4.0.0 is published to fix an issue with Reddit. For users that installed the extension via Microsoft Store, you willl automatically receive the updated build.

Update - June 22, 2023

I've differed version 4.0.0 from the Chrome Web Store. Version 4.0.1 will now ship for both platforms.

Localization Update Help Wanted

I am looking for someone to help translate this extension to Chinese and Korean. See issues #27 and #28. For more details, visit this page https://github.com/ddasutein/AutoRename/wiki/%F0%9F%8C%8D-Translations

Version 3.0.1

What's new?

• Fixed font rendering for SweetAlert library. The pop up texts should have sharper quality now. See comparison below

Version 3.0.0

Version 3.0.1

UPDATE

The update is live on Chrome Web Store, however, Microsoft Edge Add-ons store will have to wait a bit longer for an updated build. Currently trying to resolve an issue with Microsoft on this. No worries, this update is very minor and not really something to be that excited for.

Resolved issue with Microsoft Edge Add-ons Store. Update will be live soon.

Version 3.0.0

Welcome to AutoRename version 3.0.0. Kindly head over to the Discussion page for more details on other stuff besides release notes!
#30

What's new?

• The Date Format system has been overhauled. It now supports format localization. Meaning that the extension can use your country's preferred format. Before, I've written my own framework for this but the problem is that it doesn't work for every country in the world. Not every country uses the western format. Check out the wiki page here on the new settings for it. Lots of different ways to customize it. #22
• When saving images, you can now add a prefix in the beginning of the file name. To use this, there is another context menu specific for this
• The Options page has received another overhaul. It supports Light and Dark mode (based on your browser settings), animations, blurs, and more
• Announcement banner is now dynamic. This can be controlled on my end here on GitHub and it will only be enabled for announcements that are worth sharing. Don't worry, I won't be abusing this
• You can now set no random string value
• Under System Information, the extension has been updated to detect the difference between Windows 10 and 11 #15
• You can see your Browser name or type under System Information. Note, this one is a work in progress. Sometimes it doesn't show the correct browser (e.g., using Edge but it reports as "Chromium"). For Platform, for right now this will only show information for x86 based systems. No support yet to detect ARM and Apple M-series chips. See discussion #23 for details

Some under the hood fixes/improvements

• Addressing an issue where the extension is throwing persistent "duplicate id" errors. This issue wasn't breaking the extension but was frequently showing up during development since the beginning
• Unification of the options page into a single codebase. Previously each setting page was it's own dedicated page. This is hard to maintain overtime
• Updating the SweetAlert library to support dark mode
• New storage API. Basically means that i've standarized how Settings are loaded to/from local storage. Previously, to load each setting for each website, it must load them by index number. Now, this has been changed to be key-value based. Calling the object's key and corresponding value has proven to simplify a lot of the condition checking needed

Version 2.2.2

Hi everyone, this release contains some fixes, as well as the inclusion of Filipino translation. If you wish to translate the extension in your language, kindly check out the wiki page for details.

What's new?

• Resolved issue (#19) where blog ID is not included in file name when saving from LINE BLOG
• Resolved issue (#21) where saving an image in full view on Twitter does not work
• Resolved issue where the alert dialog when user has not clicked on the post for LINE BLOG doesn't appear
• Added Filipino localization

Version 2.2.0/2.2.1

Hi friends,

After month of putting this project on and off, I managed to complete version 2.2.0 right before 2022 is about to start. Happy New Year everyone!

What's new?

• Reddit support
• New option to add [Twitter] in the file name
• Changed default setting for "Include Website Title" to unchecked. For existing users, this should not affect you

Backend Improvements

• Overhauled the file name builder function to be easier to maintain across each supported website. The previous implementation had limitations when trying to add support for Reddit
• Moved all utility functions into a new JavaScript custom library Utility.js. Moving forward, all common functions should be stored here
• Replaced onActiveChanged API with onActivated API as the previous implementation was marked as deprecated in Manifest V2. This also addresses an issue where sometimes the "View Original Image" context menu item does not appear
• Rewritten Download Manager to be standardized as well as initial support for multiple download (Will be supported in the future)

Version 2.2.1 hotfix - December 30, 2021

This is an emergency hotfix due to one of the localization strings "Include Website Title [Twitter]" was not appearing. As of writing this, I am in the process of re-uploading the correct files to the Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Store. However, Microsoft Store is still reviewing version 2.2.0. I will try to get the fix released as soon as possible.

UPDATE 12/31/2021 10:06 GMT+10:00: Update is live on Chrome Web Store. Submitted updated files for Microsoft Store. It should go live soon.

UPDATE 1/2/2022 21:09 GMT+10:00: Update is live on Microsoft Store
