I'm sorry to say it, i'm not that much of a fan of the combined button. While you do save some space, it takes away fome of the usability. Why? Because 2 buttons are much easier and quicker to recognize (even from the corner of one's eye), than one with only slightly changed text on it.
Besides, "watch back" sounds almost like a request to watch them back. A better wording would be "mutual watchers".
And finally: showing those icons on the friends page is nice, but rather pointless. It just takes way too long for them to load. Plus (as a bug report), on many of my friends i ended up with 2 icons next to their name instead of one.
I think I will give an option for switching to an additional button then...
"Watch back" (should) only appear when you don't watch the other person but he watches you!
"Mutual watchers" (should) already appear when you both watch each other.
At least that's how I understood the suggestion^^
Well, I don't think the friends-feature is at it's optimum yet^^ It takes some time to get the data, so that's one problem... I think I will change the request's target to difi instead of the profile-page...
I think I know where the bug is coming from, too...
So, thank you very much for your review!
If you allow, I would like to contact you again after I changed a few things!
The idea for an option to get both buttons back sounds nice
Maybe it was a glitch; but i saw "watch back" on a profile of a friend that i was already watching. But yes, the way you laid it out there is how i'd like it.
The friends-list isn't really something i'd use, to be honest, regardless of how fast you'd be able to get the data. But that's only me…
Anytime! Feel free to contact me again – i might not be able to respond again until monday, however.
Well, It took some time because some other stuff (did you know dA got rid of the news-section in messagecenter? a few difi-requests of mine got invalidate because of that^^) But I changed the script a little.
There is now an option to display an button instead of changing the former one (I left the loading-icon at the present one as I don't see much reason to change that).
With this, the "Hide Not-Watching-Button" option came back again.
I also sped up the list-function in your friend-overview... there was a nice difi-request to get most of them... the function seem to get used to show some friend-menü (but also displays all that are just watched) with their last activity-time... Well, some kind of didn't show up, so they are fetched afterwards using the old method. But if you're lucky, there won't be any^^ for me it was one out of 102... I tested this with two pages of watched...
It would be nice, if you could update to v3.1 and test it again^^
And boy, the My Friends page updated lightning-fast now, good job!
Interesting tid-bit about the News section in the MC, btw. I hadn't noticed this – but it must've happened pretty recently. I think i remember seeing a News item there last week…
Well, it should show some sort of loading-icon with hover-text how much is already loaded while it's fetching...
I also made this process pausable, so leaving and returning later won't reset the counter to 0, but will just continue... unless it's time again to rescan. Please note that after the minutes you set within its settings there is always another full fetching process. If you hardly add or remove any watcher/gets watched, you can set that up to some high number like 525600 for a year or something^^ I use 0 as a setting and it needs about 2 seconds for around 102 people that are watching me...
I made a little note in the description and changed the preview to a visual guide how to use.
Well, it would be easier and they would work better on one hand^^
On the other they would probably ask me to work on something else as they are always working on something new lately^^
Also I don't have much time for a job, studying physics, hobby projects (like this) and a part-time job as developer... So as long as I make sleep another daily hobby of mine, there won't be any additional jobs in the near future.^^
