Open the xpi file and change the max version in the rdf file.

I've opened the xpi and rdf files. The relevant part of the latter is:

*****
<em:targetApplication>
<Description>
<em:id>{3550f703-e582-4d05-9a08-453d09bdfdc6}</em:id>
<em:minVersion>2.0</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>5.*</em:maxVersion>
</Description>
</em:targetApplication>
*****

TB is v5.0. BiDi seems to allow even later releases (5.*), which should
be enough without change. But I've changed that to 5.9, and refreshed
the xpi file. I thought then to install the refurbished extension by
looking for the Install button under Tools, but it is no longer there
(because now TB knows how to install extensions from the Web, and
doesn't need it).

How can I do this?



TB-Tools-Addons-click the little cog wheel for "Install from a file"


I FOUND IT!! I FOUND IT!! Tiny, sitting all alone, inconspicuously, so as not to attract attention, with no label, and no indication about what kind of thing it is intended to do. The developer, indeed the whole Thundermug team NEEDS to read a book about how to make a user interface. Also a briefing by psychologists, to convince them that people who didn't participate in the design of the application don't know instinctively what they had in mind.

The result leaves a bit to be desired:
1) The promised two buttons for determining the justification direction are nowhere to be seen (yes, I have checked that box for displaying them). One can determine the direction only by opening the BiDi preferences and setting the direction there. An acceptable ad hoc workaround?

2) Not really. Setting the preferences doesn't take effect until one closes Thundermug and reopens it. Clumsy?

Starts to make Kmail2 + Akonadi sound better.

Thanks for your assistance, Moish...
