  3. hey, thanks for the nice script.
    got a question. if i have to uninstall previous version first, how can i keep my ‘excluded pages’ ?
    is there a way to export them and import them again after i update to a newer version?

  5. @ev that’s a great question. I hadn’t thought about that. I’m naming my script something different on each update to prevent something else, but maybe after this version I will go back to the standard naming conventions.

    As sort of a round-about way, you could download the Greased Lightbox script to your computer, change the line that says:

    // @name			Greased Lightbox (v0.17)

    to:

    // @name			Greased Lightbox (v0.16)

    And then load that up into greasemonkey. Hopefully that makes sense! :)

    Thanks for your work!

    I’ve got a suggestion:
    Wikipedia sites are supported correctly, but there are many sites using MediaWiki and the script won’t work as expected (including wikipedia commons, the wikipedia’s media site). As a temporary solution, I’ve changed the line 112 from:
    includeRegExp : /^https?:\/\/(.*?\.)?wikipedia\.org/i,
    to:
    includeRegExp : /^https?:\/\/(.*?\.)?wiki[mp]edia\.org/i,
    And that addresses the commons problem, but does not help with any other site running MediaWiki. The best solution would be to implement some sort of MediaWiki detector. I know way to little to implement this myself, so thats why its a suggestion. :)

  9. Thanks for the update to this great script, Joe!

    Can I put in a request for a keyboard shortcut (perhaps v) to “View the image in it’s original context”?

    Don’t get me wrong, I like Greased Lightbox but I’d like to turn it off sometimes. Mainly when in Flickr, I like to see the comments.

    If it can’t be turned off, I’ll need to remove it, how do you do that?

    Keep up the good work.

    Cheers
    Davie

  11. @Davie: You can disable any script for any site using Greasemonkey. This video explains how http://diveintogreasemonkey.org/videos/exclude-pages.html
