Attachment Printer Extension
The **Attachment Printer** Chrome extension is designed to simplify the process of printing email attachments directly from Gmail. It provides an automated and user-friendly way to detect, manage, and print attachments from email threads with minimal user interaction. Below are the key features and functionalities:
### Features:
1. **Automated Attachment Detection**:
- Automatically scans the Gmail DOM to detect attachments based on specific selectors.
- Supports dynamic content changes via a MutationObserver to detect newly loaded attachments.
2. **Attachment Printing**:
- Opens attachments in new tabs, ensuring they are fully loaded before sending the print command.
- Staggers tab creation and printing to avoid system overload.
- Fallback mechanism using `window.print()` ensures the print functionality works even when messaging fails.
3. **Debugging Tools**:
- Includes a debug mode to log attachment details, current URL, and DOM insights for troubleshooting.
- Offers a manual detection button for users to trigger attachment detection and printing manually.
4. **Customizable Print Button**:
- Integrates a custom print button into Gmail's interface for easy access to printing functionalities.
5. **Visual Feedback**:
- Provides real-time console logs for debugging, ensuring transparency during the process.
6. **Background Script**:
- Handles messaging between content scripts and tabs, ensuring smooth communication for printing tasks.
7. **Content Script**:
- Interacts directly with Gmail’s interface to extract attachment URLs and manage print commands.
8. **Service Worker**:
- Manages the extension's background processes efficiently to ensure a lightweight experience.
9. **Web-Accessible Resources**:
- Uses secure resources like icons for seamless integration within Gmail.
10. **Dynamic Adaptability**:
- Supports Gmail’s dynamically loaded content with robust selectors and an observer mechanism.
### Permissions:
- **Active Tab and Tabs**: Required to interact with the Gmail interface and manage multiple tabs for printing.
- **Printing**: Allows access to printing APIs for automated task execution.
- **Host Permissions**: Restricts operations to Gmail for security and privacy.
### Manifest Configuration:
- Follows **Manifest v3** standards for optimized performance and security.
- Includes scoped host permissions and service worker-based background processes.
### Use Case:
The **Attachment Printer** extension is ideal for professionals who frequently handle email attachments and need a quick, reliable way to print them without manually downloading or opening each one. It is especially useful for:
- Office environments where bulk printing is common.
- Remote workers who need to streamline email management.
- Educational or administrative users dealing with multiple documents daily.
The extension emphasises ease of use, efficiency, and robustness, making it an invaluable tool for Gmail users.
