So imagine you have your entire LiveJournal sitting on your hard drive as an SQL database. What do you want to do with it?



Granted it's pretty fugly at the moment and nothing actually works, aside from the journal downloading part (most annoying code ever written). I'm just playing around with the interface at the moment. So what should be on there? Ideas I've had so far:

• Export to random formats (but what?)
• Mass search-and-replace
• Search for entries by keyword
• Maybe open a raw SQL interface to just type your own stuff in

Hi,

Using Deepest Sender 0.8.0 with Firefox 2.0.0.13 Linux

I like DS a lot; but have found something that needs to be solved on my side at least:

When *editing* a post, once I click on "Save" it edits it or re-posts it with a completely incorrect date such as:

1969 12 31

My system's date and time are set correctly--just checked it--and other blog clients do not behave with same error.

Any chance I can get some help with this?

Thanks.

PS  When posting a *new* post, date is correct

Alrighty, so in celebration of me doing nothing with DS for 13 months, I've gotten stuck into coding a new thingy for it.

You've used ljArchive before, right? Well I'm aiming to have that functionality built into DS. Download your LJ + comments to a SQLite database, then you can search through it, edit old entries, or export it to some other format. I only started working on it last night, so there's a loooooooong way to go, but so far I've encountered a problem:

What the hell do I call it? Currently it's in the Tools menu as LiveJournal Sync, but that doesn't really explain what it does. Any ideas?

When I upgraded to Firefox 3 Beta, I noticed that Deepest Sender didn't upgrade with it. Is there a version of Deepest Sender for Firefox 3? If so where is it? :)

Ditch support for non-LJ protocols (Blogger, WordPress, etc)?

Does anyone actually use DS for non-LJ stuff? I know it sucks massively and Scribefire does a far better job, so I'm mulling over getting rid of it all. My time is limited and I have no real interest in the non-LJ stuff.

Hi, I'm not at all versed in Firefox extensions and customizing, so the minor problem here might be a cinch to resolve and I wouldn't know it.  The minor problem is that I can't bring up the DS extension in the Firefox sidebar without going into the "View" menu and "Sidebar" submenu and selecting it there.  There really ought to be a sidebar shortcut, IMO.

But that's not the major problem, and it might not even be an issue were it not for the major one: I am running SuSE 10.3 and Firefox 2.0.0.13 (apparently the latest stable release), and Deepest Sender does not even open when I click the icon, select the item in the "Tools" menu, or hit the CTRL-\ shortcut combo.  Nothing works; the only reason I even know that this extension loads on my machine is because it is featured (sans shortcut) in the Sidebar list.  Any ideas?

Okay, a minor update, and a tip in case anybody else runs into this: I tried disabling a bunch of suspected plugins, and I managed to isolate an offender: an extension called Weekedit, for integrating basic MediaWiki functionality.  So if you use Deepest Sender, avoid Weekedit and you'll avoid at least one possible cause of aggravation.  Cheers!

I've just installed DS in seamonkey under Linux (Thanks for supporting Seamonkey!) and I like it so far ... except I can't get started. When I click on New User I get a WIzard that runs through to the end but the Finish Button doesn't work. Cancelling or simply closing the dialog doesn't create the user (I guess that's fairly obvious) and putting in a username and login without creating a user makes it try to login eternally. Is there some way someone can give a path forward? Perhaps a boilerplate user that I can edit to get things started?

I wonder if embedding content through DS is possible.

I know that LJ gives us the option to that. Is there any way that this can be done by DS?

I want to THANK YOU for making the job of Posting-to-Blogs a breeze with Deepest Sender —it's a godsend!

I'd like to make an annual Donation (over @ deepestsender.mozdev.org) however I don't use paypal. Google Checkout (which has Donation Badges) has three(3) fewer steps than paypal and is EASIER to use. (I have other reasons why I don't use paypal and I'll spare you the rant).

Please setup a Google Checkout account and let us know WHEN we can Donate that way @ deepestsender.mozdev.org.

Thank you.

Steven

Hi, I'd love to be able to tab from the subject line to the body area when posting w/deepest sender. Can this be incorporated into the next version?

Is it any chance to got working version for FF 3.0 soon? I've tried to change versions in RDF, and it's seems to work, but right after login it's just displayed "logged in" in status, but login window doesn't disappeared.

Hello there! I'm having a problem with posting to Blogger (<username>.blogspot.com). I found the recent post about similar trouble but it didn't explain me the thing. Well, maybe you got any suggestions.

When I'm trying to log in, DS 0.8.0 returns error message: "Didn't find any Atom posting links! Can't continue!" Yes, I know that release is like buggy. Though, can anyone give me some advice? Thank you.

I'm using Windows XP & Firefox 2.0.0.11.

UPD: Fixed! I've been told to put link tags in my Blogger template (none of them has it by default). Just like this:

<link href='http://yourblog.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default' rel='alternate' title='link_title' type='application/atom+xml'/>
<link href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/your_blogID (e.g. 7692378490411869057)/posts/default' rel='service.post' title='link_title' type='application/atom+xml'/>
<link href='http://www.blogger.com/rsd.g?blogID=your_blogID' rel='EditURI' title='link_title' type='application/rsd+xml'/>

UPD2: Still, after all I experienced problems with date/time [Line 2, Column 222] (known error). Fixed with a little help from Tom. Finally, it works.

The Livejournal entry I posted last night with Deepest Sender is missing. This could be due to any number of things, but I'd like to check temp files if they exist. Does DS have temp files, and if so, where are they? I didn't see any in the Firefox or Windows directory.

I'm using Vista, my version of DS is 0.8.0, and Firefox 2.0.0.9

I have just started using Deepest sender, and I'm frustrated with it already.

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.9, and the latest 0.8.0 version of Deepest Sender.

When I edit an entry and click "Save", it brings up a screen that says "Saving your post on the server", and then it sits there...

And sits there...

And sits there...

And sits there...

And sits there...

And sits there...

And sits there...

It's been sitting there for about fifteen minutes now, still doing absolutely nothing but sit there and show the message. The help file offers no help whatever, and I am about on the point of exploding with frustration.

I've even tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, with no discernible difference.

The Post History window is also useless - it too sits there, displaying a "Loading ..." message.

I've been using Deepest Sender forever and adore it. However, I do have a question. I remember back a long time ago the feature of selecting a community/friend from a drop down box via the insert LJ user tag button. The drop down box is still there, but it no longer pulls up the communities/friends. It's not a huge deal, but I'm lazy and really liked that feature.

Does anyone know if it's just my DS messing up or if that feature was actually disabled/broken in an update?

If it helps:
Firefox 2.0.8
DS 0.8.0
Using it with LJ

I'd like to be able to strike through things that I've typed into my posts without having to go to source-editing.  Is that something that could be easily added?  It seems like it would be very similar to editing bold or underline or italic text.  I know that it can be done with either an HTML tag (strike /strike) or as a CSS text decoration. 

Other than that, this seems to be a WONDERFUL client.  Now, if only 6A would open up Vox....

edit: the portion that I "struck through" above is actually done two different ways, if you look at the source. :)  Being able to do that with a click on the menu-bar would be TOPS!

I believe many of us are wondering if future versions of DS are insight?

Tnx!

Regarding the following question, I am specifically interested as it pertains to LiveJournal:

Can Deepest Sender do a full backup of all journal posts and comments? Or any backup of, say, all posts and comments in a given month? What format does it save to? How reliable is it?

Thanks!
