Support file:// tabs

[letmaik]

I have a use case where I have a very simple html page stored locally and I don't want to serve it from a local web server. So it would be cool if the tab roulette would (optionally) support file:// tabs too.

Should be a fairly small change. I've been meaning to spend some work on this extension. I'll look into it when I get some time on my hands.

The extension is working well apart from the file:// issue? I haven't really gotten any feedback, but perhaps that's a good thing :-)

Yes it's working quite well, I haven't played around with it too much because someone else put it up on the wall screens in the office :p

Thanks! I'm very glad to hear that! I ran into a problem in the office where it would suddenly stop cycling tabs after a few days, but the problem "fixed" itself before I was able to figure out what caused it.

Now that you mention it, this freeze situation happened one time too. It seemed as if the site wasn't loaded completely.

I made a new build with support for local builds if you have time to try it out. Just unzip it and use "Load unpacked extension" from Chrome's extension settings page.

More information about this freeze situation would be very welcome if it happens again.

Hmm, there seems to be some error. I always get:

1. Error in response to tabs.query: TypeError: Cannot read property
