To those that celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year! This will be the last update for the year of 2024 and I hope you continue to look forward for new features coming in 2025!

Important

What's new?

• Added support for Bluesky
• Added support for X Pro
• When using Prefer Locale Format, it will now include the time instead of the date only
• Changed default setting for "Include Website Title" for Threads to UNCHECKED. If you have this setting checked, this will not affect you

• For X, you can now select between system timestamp or use the original tweet's timestamp when "Include Date" is used

UI Adjustments & Localization Update

• Renamed "Include Date (Based on System Date)" to "Include Date" for X only

• Adjust styling for website title in Download Queue page

Bug Fixes

Version 4.1.0

Welcome to Version 4.1.0

IMPORTANT

Upon updating, Chrome or Edge will prompt you to give permission for Reddit. This is normal and is required for the functionality of adding to download queue

What's new?

• Time/Date Format can now be configured in Global settings instead of per website. Note, all your existing configuration will not carry over. You will need to reconfigure this again.
• Added Threads support. (Bluesky support will be added soon!)
• You can now change between Auto, Light and Dark mode in the Settings page
• Reddit can be added to download queue
• In Downloads page, "X" will be reflected as the website title instead of Twitter
• Folder name for "Twitter" has been changed to "X"
• Added Windows 11 24H2 in Operating System query

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where file path would appear in download queue list
• Fixed an issue where you could not download images from Reddit
• Fixed an issue where clicking "What's new?" when the extension is updated does not redirect to the release page

For developers

• Currently testing a new implementation to store parameters for different websites. Inside the const variable WebsiteConfigObject, it would hold different parameters such as URI, excluded paths, inactive, allowed context menus, and file_name. You can see this working in action with Threads, as well as hiding context menu from appearing on Bluesky even if it was added to the "support" list.

• New tool to manage localization files has been added. (/tools/ManageLocaleFiles.js)

• Debugger.js is removed and will be replaced with a better solution in future updates

Version 4.0.5

• Update to Localization files

Version 4.0.2

Minor bug fixes

• Fixed an issue where some images on Twitter/X cannot be downloaded
• Changed old Twitter logo to new (RIP Twitter bird 😭)

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

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.
