by Peter Thorpe, 8 years agoLong time use of the printedit functionality i'm glad there is a webextension version to keep using it, great work.
One thing as a user I found odd was the prep phase. So I pressed the printedit button that opened a new tab and it said PREP over the icon. I expected this to automatically change when printedit was done processing. You actually have to press the printedit button again to go to edit.
I would think if possible it would make sense to automatically change from prep to edit without user intervention.

posted 8 years agoThe preparing [PREP] stage is an intentional part of the design of Print Edit WE.
However, for those users that don't need to use the preparing [PREP] stage, there is a new "Skip prepare stage ..." option in Print Edit WE 20.0.
With the original Print Edit add-on, it was possible to create a perfect replica of the original web page in the editing window, including any adjustments made by the user, such as selecting an internal tab within the page.
With a WebExtensions add-on such as Print Edit WE, it is not possible to make a replica of the original web page (including any adjustments made by the user) in the new editing tab. Therefore, in the preparing [PREP] stage, the user has the opportunity to make any desired adjustments to the web page befores starting editing.
