#15679 — Freeze extension?

Is there a way to prevent one particular extension from offering to 
update? One of mine, Cardbook, is buggy in its latest version with the 
latest versions of Thunderbird. I'd like to keep Cardbook at an old 
version until the developer fixes it. I can, of course, manually 
decline the update, but that's one more thing to remember.

I have automatic update turned off for all my extensions so that they 
only update when I manually update.  That way I just don't update any 
updates that I'm not sure I want.

How is Cardbook buggy for you?  It seems to be fine here with the latest 
updates of both Cardbook and TB.

Just to be more specific, I have the latest version of Cardbook (97.7) 
and TB (128.6.0).

I have Tbird extensions set for manual updates, too, but I'd prefer any 
updates to Cardbook not even be shown to me at this time.

Some of my computers are still using Thunderbird 115.18.0 and Cardbook 
94.5, which is the latest version offered for that Tbird. This 
combination works fine. A couple other computers are using Tbird 
128.6.0esr, and a newer version of Cardbook, 97.7, is offered for this 
newer version of Tbird. If I stick to old version 94.5, it looks and 
acts like I expect. If I update Cardbook to 97.7, the display is 
garbled - font is wrong, elements are displaced, pictures missing, 
scrollbars are missing or non-working. I can downgrade to 94.5 and all 
is again well.

Reading about the issues on Github, this appears to be a common and 
known problem that was introduced during CB 95.x and has something to 
do with the developer converting the interface to html. Seems it still 
needs work. I'm surprised that it looks OK to you - this is the kind of 
thing that I would have guessed affected everybody or nobody, but 
apparently not.

Thanks.  Interesting.  For me the fonts are fine (although I wish they 
were smaller), the elements look fine, no missing pictures, and scroll 
bars are all there and working fine.  Wonder what is different.

I know of no way to have updates for a single extension to be hidden.  I 
just ignore them.

Cardbook for example, click on the extension in settings, scroll down the page and there is 
"automatic updates    x default   o On     o off"

Just click of off.
cardbook *was* having issues.    https://gitlab.com/CardBook/CardBook/-/issues/1771 has a new 
version in the next to the last comment.   98.4    Seems to fix a lot of my issues.

That isn't what the OP was trying to accomplish.  Their desire was to 
not just stop the updates from installing, but also to hide the updates 
from the list.  The OP already had this set to off.

This actually addresses the base problem, that the latest Cardbook 
wasn't working for me. If it really has been fixed, I don't need to 
hide the update, although I'm still curious if/how it can be done.

I'll try Cardbook 98.4. I will be surprised but pleased if it does 
work. I tried a test version 98.3 and it fixed some, but not all the 
problems. But it does show that the developer is working on it.

That doesn't do exactly what I want. Close, but no cigar.

Is this a release version? I'll check it out. I already tried test 
version 98.3 and it fixed some things but not others.

Were your issues similar to mine, garbled display?

Just tried 98.4. More things are fixed, but still not all. The one I 
noticed is that in the contact details pane, the buttons along the top 
are not all visible. They seem to be centered in the window, so if the 
windows is too narrow to show them all, you can't use the scrollbar to 
reveal them. But the fonts seem to be OK now, the pictures are back, 
and the layout is better but still not quite right. The Notes are still 
missing from the General tab.

I just noticed that I am missing Notes on the General tab also.  I do 
not use them very often, so I hadn't noticed before.

Where are you getting version 98.4?  I am not seeing it.  97.7 seems to 
the latest version available on the Thunderbird Add-on site.  I see a 
link to 98.3 in one of the issues, but not 98.4.

I got 98.4 from the comments in this bug report. I expect there will be 
more revisions - this seems to be a work in progress.

Thanks for the link.  I just noticed that next to the General tab there 
is a Notes tab and my notes are all there.  Were the notes on the 
General tab at one time?  Anyway, I can get to all my notes now.

And at the bottom (now bottom) is 98.5.   Not sure what it fixes except one person could not get it 
working and removed everything and started over.  Maybe he put in some more code for that.
I have it running in TB not BB, and I see no changes.

98.5 is better but still needs work. The Contact pane top buttons 
aren't displayed properly, and the Configuration window is missing some 
scroll bars and some of them don't work properly.

Can you grab a screenshot and post it for viewing.
I have no such issues.

The General button in the Contact pane is off to the left - you can't 
scroll over to fully reveal it.

The categories on the left disappear off the bottom of the screen but 
there's no scroll bar to reveal the last few of them. The right pane in 
this category needs a scroll bar to get down further.

Nope, none of those issues here.   I would say you might make the center pane with the list a bit 
more narrow, but that doesn't change the left panel with the options.

Doesn't show the left panel but I just looked and it's fine.

What happens if you narrow the right (Contact) pane? I predict that the 
General button will eventually disappear off the pane to the left and 
can't be reached without re-sizing the pane - the scroll bar can't 
fully reveal it. Previously, the buttons were aligned to the left side 
of the pane, so if the pane was too narrow to show all the buttons, the 
rightmost ones, which are the least important ones, went out of sight, 
but you could still use the scroll bar to get at them.

I was suggesting make the center panel narrow to give the right panel more room.  Of course this 
chops into your list.   What font size and density do you have it set for and display resolution?
