See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

Hey everyone! We just released a few fixes for Editable Reblogs (version 3.1.0), that allow us to more intelligently and gracefully handle some common error conditions. This includes fixing or detecting some of the more debilitating issues, and a new mechanism to help users report less common problems for us to track down. We’ve also programmed in a way for the extension to gracefully fall back on the native functionality in the event of an issue, which should help out a lot.

Rest assured that this is just the beginning of a much more substantial clean-up to make Editable Reblogs less finicky and more reliable. There are still some outstanding issues, including problems with more then one consecutive deactivated url in the same post, but luckily we can now detect and alert you to those issues ahead of time.

As always, our inbox and chat room are open. Happy blogging!

On the matter of sidebars

You may have noticed that Tumblr has recently made a change that increases the width of the sidebar and, on some screens, pushes the posts further off-center. We have just released Tweaks version 5.3.0 which adds an option under the User Interface section to get it back to what it was (or at least getting as close as possible). You will get the update eventually, but you can force an update through the “Other” tab of your XKit control panel.

As always, you can get in touch with us by sending an ask to @new-xkit-support or @new-xkit-discussion or visiting our live support chat. If no one responds in the live chat, it means the developers are currently busy/away/sleeping! Just wait a bit and someone will get back to you!

Recent XKit Updates: May 29

  • Soft Refresh
  • Blacklist
    • v2.9.0: Preserve links in Blacklist. Blacklist now reads the links in posts. For example, add goo.gl* to your filters to eradicate 90% of spam spam spam spam spam spammity spam! Many thanks to community contributor PalanteJon for their work in producing this update.
  • Hermes
    • v1.2.2: Fix performance issues and caption deletion. Hermes now unloads the images and media of each post once. It also does not delete each post’s caption. These provide 20% more speed per speed and 100% more caption per caption.
  • Profiler
    • v1.2.2: Fix parsing error in Profiler. Profiler now actually works instead of displaying an error. Knowledge is power, especially when that knowledge is about blogs.
  • One-Click Postage
  • Go-To-Dash
  • Retags
    • v1.0.6: Add a new API key. For a few hours, Retags was completely broken and everyone was seeing 401 errors everywhere. Normally we’d say blame Tumblr, but to be honest we have no idea why the old API key stopped working.

quick note

Hey everybody! A few quick notes on behind the scenes stuff:

  • Old Sidebar (formerly estufar’s sidebar fix before it was contributed to New XKit proper) broke yesterday due to some code changes on Tumblr’s end. We’ve gotten it squared away now, so if you’re still seeing weird behavior with the account menu/sidebar, try “Updating All” in the Other tab of the XKit menu. Go give @estufar some props for the quick fix!
  • Seems like Tumblr is having some intermittent API availability issues today. Accordingly, some extensions that rely on tumblr API data may not work or may return errors. We’ve confirmed issues with Retags, Blog Tracker, and a few others. Nonetheless, if you see something, do make sure to come and report it! We’re a little behind on answering asks as most of the devs are currently inactive due to school/RL stuff, so the best way to report an issue is to hop in our support chat and leave a message. Even if we can’t respond right away (notifications for chat on our end can be a little laggy sometimes), we’ll definitely see the message eventually.

thanks for sticking with us! I know the past few months we’ve been pretty dead. Hopefully with summer starting we’ll all have more time to work on stuff :D

Update on Retags Extension

The good news: Tumblr is bringing replies back. The bad news: they changed the design of the notes display, which broke the Retags extension. The XKit team is aware of this issue and working on a fix which should be out soon.

Additionally, some of you may have noticed that TagViewer and ReplyViewer have only been showing a small amount of tags/replies on some posts. We’re still investigating this problem, but it appears that when a post hits approximately 1,000 notes, the amount of replies or tags you can see drops off sharply. This doesn’t seem to be something we can fix immediately, or possibly at all, but we’ll keep looking into it. So far, this only affects posts that are about 2 months old or newer, but it’s possible that older and older posts will be affected as time goes on. We’ll make sure to let you know more as more information becomes available, and you can track the progress of this issue on github here: https://github.com/new-xkit/XKit/issues/1003

EDIT: its possible this may have also been an artifact of the replies changes, and preliminary testing (so far only one of our devs has the new update) suggests that this may not be an issue with the new notes popup.

Thanks for your patience; as always, you can get in touch with us by sending an ask to @new-xkit-support or @new-xkit-discussion or visiting our live support chat. If no one responds in the live chat, it means the developers are currently busy/away/sleeping! Just wait a bit and someone will get back to you!

Audio+ 0.4.3: Pop Out Controls

It happens to the best of us. We scroll away from a playing audio post, loving and appreciating its heartfelt music, promising to cherish its tunes for the next four minutes. We whisper sweet nothings to the audio post as it disappears up our dashes, gone from our eyes but not our hearts or our ears.

But then we see a Vine. A Vine that promises to scintillate and stupefy if only we could unmute it for just six seconds. A Vine whose whole experience would change our lives if only we could just pause the lovely music playing in our ears for just six seconds.

Let’s dare to take those six seconds back. In Audio+ version 0.4.3, if you scroll away from a playing audio post this cute little BB-8 impersonator will follow you until you close it, helpfully providing the pause and play buttons your short attention span needs.

(2016-02-03) One-Click-Postage only showing 5 blogs

new-xkit-extension

A lot of you probably already noticed that One-Click-Postage is only showing 5 blogs in the drop down. Rest assured, we know about it and are actively trying to fix it!

Tumblr changed something in the backend which broke our blog detection, but our team is actively trying to find a new, reliable way to detect the blogs and we’ll update XKit as soon as we can!

We’ll let you guys know when it’s fixed, but it should only be a little bit longer.

new-xkit-extension

Should be fixed now! The update is in XKit Patches version 6.2.2. You can wait for XKit to update automatically, or get the new update by going to XKit > Other > Update All > Update all of my extensions.
