Bug Clicker 0.1

"... and even if he's a lazy man,
and the Dude was most certainly that,
quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County,
which would place him high in the running for laziest worldwide ..."

I have to frequently copy bug IDs from plain text emails to the Bugster web interface. Really wears me down. I even think my wrist is growing one of those tunnels named after military personnel. So I decided to sit down and do something about it. Because I was already sitting, half of the job had been accomplished, and that gave me strength.

I wrote a Firefox+Thunderbird extension that allows the following:

- double-click on a bug ID opens its web page
- select text and open all bug IDs from that selection
- open external bug pages (opensolaris.org) and internal (monaco)
- do all the above with ARC cases as well

If you want to give it a try, save the below file and install it via Tools>Extensions/Addons dialog (or just click in Firefox). Compatible with Thunderbird and Firefox versions 1.5 - 2.0.0.*.

Install Bug Clicker 0.1
