Absolutely one of the best extensions. Thanks for pointing this out. I had to manually uninstall the previous version to get it to work but worth it. Cheers

The ironic thing here is, for me, that most of the new features are features that take away other features.

Anyway, I agree with you. I love this add-on. Another I'm fond of is the color picker - no more screen shots to photoshop back to the html to get the color I want! I'm no designer, but I still find a lot of use for that one.
