silly page reload

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to come back and find the page where I previously left it (ie. 
scrolled down to wherever I stopped reading.) Instead, I often find that a 
page reload took place while I was away (presumably to display more banners 
or increase pagehits), and I am back at the top of the page.

As this project seems like not maintained for a long time,
I've tried modifying the v0.5 source code released on this site,
and added 2 new features:

1. Detect key press / mouse click by user and reset reload timer.

2. Hotkey to activate reloader with default interval set in option page.


Please consider releasing this new version as v0.6
If this project is no longer maintained,
please consider adding me as the new maintainer.

Thanks a lot.

Multiple user's asked for random reload timeouts. I didn't understand the 
requirement until one cared enough to explain it it an email:

"there are sites, which promote every-day login and happy hour logging (AND 
random happy hours) with bonus points etc. They sometime check if logging 
isn't schematic to detect bots and similar things. That's why people ask for 
it "

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Disconnect internet connection to network
2. Allow reload to refresh page
3. Page loads as unavailable and reload stops working

If there is a short disruption to the internet chrome-reload stops functioning 
and the page sits on default unavailable page.

If I'm in the middle of a mail in my webmail client  and autorefresh 
kicks in, the mail is lost.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

(Optionally) Reset the refresh timer on keystrokes and mouse clicks

As raised in a user review: "Please change the font to a sans serif font. 
Otherwise, works great."

Enhancement: Can the reload take us to the end of page every time? - Good to 
trace logs

dunno if this is the place for feature requests....
I really like the plugin. this feature would make it perfect.

Feature: configuration option to set a reload time per URL (allow wildcards 
in URL list) that is kept between browser sessions (cookie?) so that I don't 
have to set this time for every session

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. go to any webpage
2. set reload to any seconds
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect page to be refreshed every so many seconds. Page refreshes sometimes, 
but then reload stops refreshing page on its own.

Chrome 8.0.552.224. Reload Version 0.5

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. It will not allow me to reload every 0.1 secs anymore.
2. When u enter 0.1 it wont accept it.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Be able to reload at 0.1 secs

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ChromeReload - Version: 0.5

Please provide any additional information below.

Currently I'm using a triple monitor set-up, something like this:

[ Left Monitor ] [ Centre Monitor ] [ Right Monitor ]

When clicking on the "Reloader" button on my toolbar, on a Chrome window on my  
right monitor, the tool-tip opens on the centre monitor.

This does not break the functionality of the extension, it just doesn't open 
where it was intended. Which in this case would be by the mouse, under the 
button, on the right monitor. 

I'm currently running:

Windows 7 64-bit Professional SP1
Chrome 11.0.672.2 dev
ChromeReload - Version: 0.5

Can some kind of visual/audio alert when content of page changes?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to a webpage and create an application
  1a. Click on the wrench
  1b. Select Tools
  1c. Create Application Shortcuts
2. Launch the application

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There is no toolbar so there is no icon to click on to configure the 
auto-reload.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.1.1

Please provide any additional information below.
Perhaps there could be a context menu option to auto reload the current page / 
window.

Alternatively, being able to always auto reload a particular app or domain 
would be nice.

I was bored, installed your extension, and gave it an update.

Now it has custom time setting.

and sets the Badge Title to the timer while the timer is running
(just in case it was set to like 100:35 or something)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open Chrome task manager
2. open new tab in Chrome
3. browse to http://www.google.com/
4. set 5 second refresh
5. monitor task manager Memory column for the tab

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The memory allocation increases by at least 1 megabyte per refresh. More 
complex pages increase by more. An example is the IPoSN extension of 
Facebook which increases by 5--10 megabytes per refresh.

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. click Reloader button
2. select reload delay option

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The page reloads immediately, then later reloads on the schedule set by the 
delay option. There is apparently no way for me to prevent an immediate reload 
of the page.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.5 on Windows XP Pro SP3

Please provide any additional information below.
Suppose my objective is to reload my page every 1 hour. To start the timer, I 
must visit the page; this loads the page. Then I must select the 1 hour delay 
option; this loads the page a second time. It seems the extension will not let 
me avoid this second page load. The only workaround is for me to personally 
wait 1 hour before selecting the delay option.

Cheers,

MetaEd

This is more a feature request. 

I run several information type pages as "application shortcuts" From Chrome. 
Cannot invoke auto-reloads because these windows have no toolbar or url bar. Be 
nice to have the settings in a right-click menu.

Thanks, pardon if this is improper place to post.

I just installed about all auto-refresh related extensions finally i decide to 
use this one, but after using it some time, i found it still has memory leaks 
issue, running about 8 hrs, ram has reach to 200mb and cpu up to 60% of that 
page, has to close that thread or restart my chrome.

btw i'm using 5.0.375.125

Hi,

First of all, great extension, simple clean and useful.

I wonder if you could also incorporate how many times to refresh a page.

Example: If I want to refresh a page 10 times every 15 seconds.

That will be a great addition to ChromeReload

Thanks mate

This is a enhancement request.

It would be useful if the chrome-reload use the new Notification API for 
extensions in Chrome to notify about when a webpage have some change in the 
information.

This could be easily implemented, maybe like this:
* In the button, have a check mark that says something like "Notify on page 
change"

And the doReload function make use this pseudo-code:
before reloading{
 |- Check if the webpage content is in the HTML5 WebStorage
 |- If the content is not there and the Notify option is selected, store it (Note bellow)
}
after reloading {
 |- If the Notify option is selected
   |- Get the page content and compare it to the one stored previously
   |- If the content is different
     |- Send a Notification through the new API
     |- Store the new content
}

Notes:
* The way to store the content should be in the HTML5 webstorage.
* The content of the page should be hasehd to compare easier and faster, and 
not save too much information in the webstorage
* It could use the Paj's MD5 hash function to hash the HTML tree (Or the Body 
tree?) of the DOM. (http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a page. Scroll down x number of lines.
2. Execute Reload.
3. The page will reload with the top of the page at the top of the screen, 
not at the position set before the reload.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The reload should end with the page in the same position as it was before 
the reload, e.g., down x number of lines.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.4, Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

a) i want to keep reloading a tab even if i changed the page meanwhile. so, 
maybe add an option which disables 
http://code.google.com/p/chrome-reload/source/browse/trunk/src/background.html#6
7

b) 30 min random time is too much for me. so, maybe add an option to use the 
custom value as max

Apologies if this isn't the place for feature requests.

Would it be possible to allow the user to add their own pre-set intervals.  
It's nice being able to use the input box, but I have to use that every time 
rather than being able to set my interval (2hrs) from the list.

Thank you.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Fresh launch of Google Chrome
2. Set time for reload, click Set
3. Reload happens once only, no time displayed
4. Set time for reload again, click set
5. Reload happens as it is supposed to and time displayed. As long as I keep 
this iteration of Chrome open, reloader works.

Also - There used to be a custom time interval available, what happened to 
that? Unless I'm dreaming...

If I set the page refresh first, then pin the tab during the countdown, the 
countdown completes but at the end the page does not refresh and the 
countdown displays 0:00 and then disappears.

Reload is great to hit a page swamped with requests till you get in, or looking 
for some new post. But if your timer is too low then you can't stop it and it 
will reload a failed request again.
Would like reload to be able to stop on keyword in page that indicates 
successful reload or a load that found the information posted you were waiting 
for.

This is a feature request.

Is it possible to include a right-click context menu? The reason being, having 
too many icons in the top-right actually makes it a bit more-difficult to use 
the browser at lower resolutions so allowing for a right-click context menu 
would solve this.

Firefox's ReloadEvery has done this in a few ways:
1. Right-clicking on the Refresh icon to get the menu
2. Have a drop-down arrow next to the refresh icon
3. Right-click anywhere on a page and instead of "Reload", it would give up a 
drop-down with all of the reloading options

Thanks

If timer is 10 minutes or greater then the display of the 2nd second character 
is not displayed correctly.

See attached image file.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Browse to Facebook.com
2. Set refresh Time
3. Elements under your Friends birthdays fail to load

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected the full page to load so, maybe something such as an auto poker 
could poke someone instantly.  Instead it fails to load the elements like ads 
and the poke section.
