A little background on my problem...
I play an online text RPG I will keep the name to myself as I dont want to pull people away from this community for another..... but that is off topic.
In our game, programmers come and go, quite frequently and they leave behind a legacy of programs that serve the community in the simplest of ways.
My question is, How do I open a XPI file and fix coding issues that are no longer relevant? How do I open a file and read it so that it is not in "Wingding"
What programs can i use to de bunk the issues that I will share below?
Sample of what I see when I open the file in notepad++; which is what every firefox add-on site has told me to use....

I know this may mean nothing and if it does just please respect my question and dont negatively rate it because of my lack of knowledge about this topic...
What this add-on is, is a raid bar, that organizes accounts into "bookmarks" as an accessible and ready to join raids while retaining the link of the raid in the browser to reduce steps in the process of raiding.
The owner of the add-on is not me.... it is not logical to track down the person that made it because it was crafted over 10 years ago and the means of getting in touch with the person are not reliable anymore.
I dont want to take his add-on and claim it as my own.... I want to update it and carry on what he started as a respect for the player and programmers that have come and gone from the outwar community
Thank you for your time
Rename it from .xpi to .zip then you can open it and extract the contents. Do look into WebExtensions API though, as old XUL addons are going away by the end of 2017, you seem to have an overlay there. You can read more here - https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2016/11/23/add-ons-in-2017/

I am wondering if anyone has experience with having 100+ targets in a single xcode project. I have a case right now where we are building many apps that use the same code base. There is some debate internally that if the amount of apps gets to an unmanageable level aka (Maybe a couple of 1000 apps) we are going to have issues.
So my Question: Does anyone have experience with making a xcode project that has a ton of apps/targets (100+) in one project? Is there any issues with this? Is it easier then having a single project for each one and just sharing code with symbolic links?
I have built a project and made about 80 targets. Besides xcode crashing a couple of times while I was creating them (I think this was because I was using hot-keys and going really fast) it seemed like it was fine. I did not see any major performance hits, but since this was not a full project I am skeptical that this was tested fully.
Thanks for any insight.
So I found some information hidden in a post of a site called openradar. I think it will answer my question. I would love to hear from some real world experience through. So if anyone still has input please add it. I will be doing some more research on the subject.

Also I asked apple for comment on this as well and as soon as I get a response back I will post it in this answer.
A couple of months ago, I posted a question asking if and how phonegap users can alter the keyboard appearance to the dark alert ui keyboard (UIKeyboardAppearanceAlert) without targeting individual textfields. I did some extnsive reaearch myself and offered a bounty but yet the question remained unsolved.
Alter keyboard appearance in native, phonegap/Cordova built iOS App
As of today, I'm still struggling to get this resolved and simply over with. I do realize much probably hasen't happened since last time I bothered you with this question, however, two things have in fact changed which somewhat justifies this seemingly double post:
Phonegap has released version 2.1 which does some new stuff, perhaps this is possible now?
As my client expects me to solve this in any way possible, this time I would also like to ask you for an alternative approach. If it still can't be done, would it be possible to custom make a "keyboard" of my own? I know this of course is technically doable, but is it in any way a recommended approach that would be considered in at least some way smart and justified? As I said, my client pushes hard for this and is not in favor of rebuilding the app completely natively.
Conclusively, as of today is there any way to do this with phonegap / Cordova? If not, would you recommend me to custom make a keyboard using HTML CSS and JavaScript, bearing in mind this is a major comsern for my client? If so, are there any good plugins that I can use as a start? Please check out my old post (linked above) to see what has already been tested.
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan
I know this is quite old but I came accross it looking for the same thing. Anyway, I have found a possible solution which would be to create a plugin for Cordova http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/2.6.0/guide_plugin-development_index.md.html#Plugin%20Development%20Guide
It does require some native coding but would atleast avoid starting an app from scratch which has already been built in Cordova.

Do I really need version control?
My question is simple enough. When I am in Xcode and right click a file and go down to "Source Control>Commit Selected File...", it brings up a new screen.
My question is this:
What is committing files for? I'm simply trying to understand the pros and cons.
Thanks!
Jake
EDIT: Now I understand, thanks for the responses!
Sometimes, it is possible to draw yourself into a corner: You have a great idea, you change many things, and you notice your idea wasn't as good as you thought. If you had source control, you could just go back to the last working version easily, cleanly, reliably and quickly.
Version control is also a way to back up a working copy of your code. If you don't understand the benefits, you definitely need it.

What do you use to capture webpages, diagram/pictures and code snippets for later reference?
Evernote http://www.evernote.com and delicious http://www.delicious.com
Evernote
Notepad2's clipboard feature (Notepad2.exe /c as a link in Launchy)
Windows Clippings or PrintKey
Firefox extension Page Saver
Delicious
Microsoft OneNote.
I just have an emacs instance running on my home machine, under screen. Whereever I am (and have network) I can connect to it remotely. I stick all useful urls, birthday present ideas, future dates, code snippets, ideas for docs etcetc in there.
I rarely have doodles/diagrams I need to capture, I tend to draw them in ascii in my file if needed.
I must admit I'm a bit stuck if I have no network/wifi somewhere, but that's rarely the case.
I find google notebook is very good for drive by code snippeting and google bookmarks especially as when used with the google toolbar, for web pages.
The benefit of these tools are that they are available from any pc on the web, though a good use of semantic organisation using labels is recommended.
Here's my response to a similar question:
The combination of OneNote with a tablet PC is awesome! I was a bit of a skeptic at first. I used the trial version and then forgot about it. A year later I had an unruly collection of files, project related emails, notebooks and scraps of paper all scattered throughout my life. I went back to OneNote and all my problems went away. Some highlights:
Everything is searchable. The character recognition is good enough that my chicken-scratch meeting notes can be searched. Text within images is searchable.
OneNote syncs with Outlook so finding meeting notes is a breeze.
I now embed all files into OneNote - pdfs, spreadsheets, word docs, images, web clippings.
OneNote is constantly saving all changes so, combined with a scheduled automated backup, everything is in one place and is safe.
There are some built-in collaboration tools I have yet to try but that look useful.
It is SO worth the price. It allows you to get started on a project and avoid all that time spent deciding how to organize things.
Zotero, is a nice plugin for Firefox.
SnagIt
captures everything you could want, and lets you annotate it.
I prefer to use the good old url for delicious
Apart from that i use the Scrapbook extension in firefox when i want to save something on the disk. It's possible to tag the page, edit it and remove those stupids ads before saving it.
I also have a Wiki on a stick that i carry around on a usbkey for code snippets that should go to other clients when i'm travelling around
Mostly, my code snippets are embedded into projects i carry on the same usb key, which allows me to demonstrate some technologies right off to the client and get his advice based on a demonstration, not a listing of code...
For screen shots, I use a mix between ScrapBook and ScreenGrab. They are both firefox plugins that are pretty amazing when you need to get a screenshot of a page for editing. Works great for consulting.

It's a little primitive, but I've been using tiddlywiki (self-contained, single-file wiki) http://www.tiddlywiki.com/ which works good for basic text and markup. I combine it with a plugin to sync it with Outlook's notes (http://syncoutlooknotes.tiddlyspot.com/#SyncOutlookNotes) so that I can then sync it to my blackberry using the standard outlook-blackberry sync mechanism. This has the significant advantage that I can look at my notes and even write new notes when I'm out and about, away from my laptop, or just don't feel like lugging the laptop around to a meeting that I don't really need it for.
I'd prefer using something more advanced like Onenote, but being able to take my notes with my in the little blackberry has turned out to be a significant advantage.
Google Notebook is very convenient tool. You can clip and save any parts of web pages without leaving your browser tab. The Notebook plug-in automatically saves them as separate notes in your notebooks and keep the links back to the original web pages. You can organize your clippings later by moving them between your notebooks and/or tagging them. Very good for code snippets and references.
