I noticed an issue with Gmail's 'Send mail as' feature. After setting up few additional email addresses (aliases), whenever I reply to an email and use these aliases (change FROM email id), the profile icon on the left doesn't get updated and stays the same as the logged in gmail user's profile icon. This was causing confusion whether I selected the right FROM email id or not.

So, I wrote a small greasemonkey script to update the profile icon dynamically when the FROM email id is changed. Although the profile icons for different 'FROM email ids' are still hardcoded.

This post is intended to reach the Gmail development team so that they fix the issue at root.

Thank you

Why is it showing installation process if this a 'portable software'?
I think that the people who believe in Horoscope wouldn't mind ads and clickbait.

I tried Compress-Pdf module and it is actually uploading the binary pdf file to the server for processing.

I use copytables https://merribithouse.net/copytables/. It has number of options for selection and also keyboard shortcuts.
Is the data local to the browser? Or does it get uploaded to some server?

There is an option to add password to the meeting on the bottom right hand corner.
An api which accepts the diagram code as request body to generate the base64 image or the url would be great.
Pretty good tool. Have been using this for many years. + Supports REGEX search. + Enable HTTP server and then expose the port using ngrok and you can search your system from anywhere. + Supports Hotkey (Ctrl+E is what I use)
