Chrome Extension Save Issue
Hey, just started using these extensions and they're great. I'm running into an issue where after saving a product in shopify, everything disappears and you have to cycle forward and back to the item to reload the extensions even though they report themselves as already loaded in an alert. It's occurring on both Win and OSX.
It looks like the last commit was 6 months ago so I'm not sure if you're continuing to update the project.
When you save something in the Shopify Admin it may do an Ajax partial load of the changed content, or a full page reload. It differs view to view. For the full reload, any of the scripts or css we added into the page are removed so the tool needs to be run again.
This isn't something the extension will be able to control.
Whilst I have very briefly considered adding auto-run properties into the extension I've always opted against it so it remains as unobtrusive as possible. It also means that doing so means the extension requires no special permissions (like reading sites).
If you've got some more specific examples, I can look into it.
I assumed Shopify was doing Ajax reloads but I figured the extension would pick up that something wasn't loaded and error out to its off state. Thinking about it that's sounds like a lot of work liable and likely to break. Makes sense, thanks for getting back so quick.
