A superb tool , would not want to live without - but 2.3.1 completely broke the whole thing. None of the shortcuts function (s, g, c)... :-(

In Answer to the developer's comment:
No clue why this should be a TB issue:
- Nostalgy 2.2.4 --> works fine
- Nostalgy 2.3.1 --> shortcuts do not work, anymore
- Revert to Nostalgy 2.2.4 --> all fine again.
(regardless of minor TB version differences (78.10.1/78.10.2/78.11.0).

Additional remark:
- Toggling Nostalgy 2.3.1 addon off/on also does get it back to life, but only for as long as TB is running. Next start will require the same actions, again.

Great efforts by developer to fix all the problems with TB 78.11+ changes.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.3.1).

please see here and report any more errors there: https://github.com/opto/nostalgy-xpi/issues/111

I think this is a TB issue because it is resolved by deactivating the addon and then reactivating the addon. Actually, just replacing WL 1.45 by WL 1.28 (the TB glue code) makes it working again. An interim version is here: https://github.com/opto/nostalgy-xpi/releases/tag/v2.3.2. Only works for 78, for 86 and above, a solution is pending.


In both cases, it is the same addon code. Why should it start working after stopping/starting?
What changed is TB version and some TB supplied glue code. Key setting code was not changed.

TB changed how the accelerators are handled (they now grab the S even in folder tree, where you cannot set star). Therefore, I am using V in my TB, which is available in English TB in German locale - that may be different for you).

In 85, it also helped just to reset to S, then overriding the star.
Also, there is a bug in TB: after addon install, it does not show the wrench symbol for options. I need to close the addon tab and reopen it for the wrench to come up.
Please put further info into the issue linked above. Thanks, Klaus
