Hi,

I've been a Slogger user for the longest time, ever since the very first
version. This has remained my one essential extension for Firefox. I've
been using 0.5.x until recently. When I upgraded Firefox to  the latest
1.5.0.1, I decided to upgrade Slogger to the latest 0.6.20060201 as well.

Alas, after 14 installs-uninstalls-reinstalls, I'm ready to admit defeat.
I've tried manually tweaking prefs.js and installing Slogger to a new
Firefox profile but nothing works. Slogger just won't function properly.
Listed below are some of the major problems I'm facing right now (they
affect several default profiles included in the original package):

1. With a fresh Slogger installation (all default settings) to a
brand-new Firefox profile, everytime I choose "View RDF-XUL log" from
the Slogger menu, I would get a "File not found".

2. As above, when I choose "View today's XML log file", I would get a
'unformatted' bunch of entries on a white page, not a properly formatted
table of previous versions.

3. If I check the "Show confirmation/edit window before page is logged"
option, Slogger would pop up a completely blank window each time a page
is logged (auto or otherwise).

4. Clicking on the 'Test' button in those profiles with custom scripts
does not do anything at all.

Besides the above, I've found it totally confusing and almost impossible
to change the data directory for Slogger without delving into prefs.js
where the $sloggerDir variable seems to be hard-coded. I recall this was
much more straightforward and easily done in the 0.5.x versions.

I tried to fall back to the last 0.5.x version which is 0.5.1.2, but
have found that it too exhibits some of the same bugs under Firefox
1.5.0.1. At the moment, I'm relying on the Firefox built in history but
it's proving to be very inadequate.

Can the developer please help?

Thanks.

Tom
