No longer working about chrome-image-uncenterer

[jacobbaratta]

I've pushed a new commit to my fork that fixes this issue; see PR #15.

It seems that @i-a-n isn't actively maintaining this repo/extension anymore, so odds are the PR won't get merged. In the meantime, I suggest pulling and using my fork (via the "load unpacked extension" functionality on chrome://extensions) as an interim fix.

I'm sorry, how do I pull and use your fork exactly?

git clone or download ("Code" button → "Download ZIP" option; unzip the file before continuing) https://github.com/jacobbaratta/chrome-image-uncenterer/tree/dev-fix-selectors to a static location (e.g. ~/Documents/chrome-image-uncenter). It is very important that the entire file path for this remains static over time and does not change, as if it changes, the extension will be silently disabled or removed from Chrome and you may need to repeat most of this process again.

Open chrome://extensions and toggle the "Developer mode" switch in the upper right hand corner to enabled (if it's not already enabled).

Before proceeding, find the existing copy of "Chrome Image Uncenter" from the chrome web store on this page and disable or remove it (I recommend just disabling it, at least initially).

Now click the "Load unpacked" button in the upper left hand corner of the same page, navigate to the location of the cloned or downloaded repo and select it.

The local unpacked copy of the extension should now appear towards the top of the list of extensions. Make sure it's enabled (I think it'll be enabled by default).

If you had given the Chrome Web Store version extra permissions (e.g. to operate on incognito pages or local file URLs), you'll need to repeat that process on this local unpacked copy of the extension (this is because it has a different extension ID and is therefore handled as a completely separate extension from the Chrome Web Store version, so the settings applied to one copy aren't reflected on the other).

Note that if changes are ever made to the unpacked files you loaded (e.g. if you ever modify them yourself or replace them with a newer version at a later date), you'll need to click the reload icon to have Chrome reload the files from disk. Alternatively, if you restart the browser (e.g. quit and reopen it) it may pick up the changes, but that's more disruptive.

I hope this sufficiently explains the process, tell me if you need any further clarification on any point.
