Edge (Chromium) and Chrome Extension for converting USCS sites to Metric / SI

everything-metric's Issues

Option to see numbers in cm up to a certain value instead of always seeing meter when above 100 cm.

Would like to see an option to keep small values as cm instead of displaying meter.

Some values are better left as cm instead of translating them up to meters. For example these values for measuring the size of something fairly small and precise. One small value keeps cm (under 100cm) but the other small values (above 100cm) are translated to meter... this does not look great and can be rather irritating
28"​【71,12 cm】 x 52"​【1,32 m】
60"​【1,52 m】 x 45"​【1,14 m】

An option to keep cm up until a certain value (or even up to 3 meters by default to make it a simple checkbox) would make these
values look much nicer and concise as it doesn't mix both cm and meter:
28"​【71,12 cm】 x 52"​【132 cm】
60"​【152 cm】 x 45"​【114 cm】

Another edge case on etsy.com when using non-us currency where one value stops converting

for some reason when you change currency on etsy.com this can happen. i cannot see why it would but it ignores the last measurement for this page in my example below:

with default usd currency it looks fine:

but non-default non-us currency breaks the conversion for some reason:

here is an example page https://www.etsy.com/listing/1234651516/ currency can be selected from the bottom left of the page

Not Converting Ranges Properly

when having a range, like 36 - 72 inches or 14 to 50 inches, it only converts the last unit.

36 - 72 inches → 36 - 72 inches​【182.88 cm】
But should be:
36 - 72 inches → 36 - 72 inches​【91.44 - 182.88 cm】

LICENSE

Under which License is the Source Code?
Because in the master Branch there isn't any LICENSE file

Does not convert 'F' unit

Hello and thanks for this extension!

Many Murkans fail to understand that their temperature unit is "degrees Fahrenheit" and just say things liek 100F instead of 100°F. This extension does notice or convert these. could that be fixed?

Thanks!

Could you please add support for tablespoons and teaspoons?

Thanks.

Add psi (pounds per square inch) to kg/cm^2.

2021 1/4 oz converted

Numbers larger than 2000 could be ignored

recipe mode

For recipe like this

• ¼ pound​【110 g】 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced 1/4-inch​【6.4 mm】 thick
• 2 ounces​【57 g】 thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into 1/4-inch​【6.4 mm】 strips

it would be nicer to have special recipe conversion tables for some (configurable) URLs.

I know there is "Round numbers if less than 3% of error" option giving 55.11 cm 🡲 55 cm conversion, but for recipes it does not really matter if you cut mushrooms to 6.4mm or to 5mm, so 1/4-inch could translate to 5mm.

Another edge-case of wrongful conversion in*in != cm*cm

inches*inches are not converted properly to cm*cm, instead it looks like it just takes the last numbers.
this is from amazon (unsurprisingly...)

Wrong conversion

Nice extension. Thanks!

But I noticed that it fails to recognize if the leading zero is omitted in a value between 0 and 1. Fortunately, occurrences in such a format are rare anyway.
For example, "0.004 inches" is correctly recognized and converted, but ".004 inches" is incorrectly converted to 10.16 cm instead of 0.10 mm.

Farenheit to Celsius missed conversion

I thought you might find useful a use-case the extension seems to struggle with:

https://firewoodaromatech.com/pages/faq

Automatic update for meature changes on page.

For example, when open the page it does convert the measurement. But when changing the ingredients (2x or 3x) on this page (option in Ingredients list):

https://www.fermentingforfoodies.com/sunflower-seed-tempeh/#

Does not update the new measurement.

I've seen some similar pages and got the same problem.

Pounds vs lbs

Can we please have an option to disable conversion of "3 pounds" (the extension would only convert "3 lbs" if it were switched on)? This would avoid accidental conversion of "3 pounds" (when the author intends £3, or 3 pounds sterling). Thank you!

Maybe add support for date and time?

I was just about to build an extension to reformat dates and times to my preferred format, but it somehow feels related enough to this extension, that it should maybe be included here. While ISO8601 isn't part of the SI, it's closesly related. So what do you think?

Promo image: show a weight for balance scales instead of a dumbbell?

Because IMO at a glance it makes it look like a workout-related extension.

Add support for teaspoons and tablespoons

A significant use case for this extension is cooking with American recipes and it can be convenient to convert things like teaspoons and tablespoons to proper units.

Add support for "½"

Having the option to run on demand

The extension is very sweet but I'd prefer to have it on demande (either contextual menu or extension icon click) rather than automatically on every pages.

That would be less computing power heavy and also avoid problems such as running on github or other pages where code is displayed

convert 400 degrees

Hello,
in recipes they just write "Heat oven to 400 degrees" without Fahrenheit or F.
It would by nice to have an option to convert this too.
Thanks,
a.

Minor issue: do not convert units that are already converted by the website

This isn't a problem, just a minor thing: if a website displays a metric value and offers the imperial conversion on it's own, Everything-Metric will helpfully convert the imperial value back to metric again. An example:

The serval is a slender, medium-sized cat that stands 54–62 cm (21–24 in)​【61 cm】

As seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serval

The 【61 cm】is added by the Add-on even though the conversion is already there.

I realize this might not be too easy and not have a high priority. Just figured I'd report it in case you wanted to fix it.

Thanks for the great Add-on!

Incorrect locale tag

I noticed in the code, it says mystring.toLocaleString('us-EN'). This should be mystring.toLocaleString('en-US'), as the BCP 47 tag structure is <language>-<COUNTRY>.

Add conversion for feet measures like 5'9

I'm seeing this a lot on reddit where people don't put the quotation mark at the end but only the single quotation mark between feet and inches.

Fix for ikea

BESTÅ Frame, white, 23 5/8x15 3/4x25 1/4" - IKEA
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/besta-frame-white-30245850/

Disable for code

When I read code, numbers in quotes like inp = '653427918'​ get converted to inp = '653427918'​【199 165 km】. I don't know how easy it is, but I think it would be nice to have an option to turn off the converter for monospace text.

Option to remove imperial units completely

Hi can there be an option to remove imperial units completely?

I particularly dislike imperial units, so don't really care even if the conversion is occasionaly buggy. Not that I can read the imperial units anyway.

Thanks a lot for this extension, it's the only one of it's kind I could see for Chrome.

Safari Extension

Thanks for this useful extension!

Any plans on the Safari version?

Add support for square-mile (with - instead of spaces)

Currently 6,300-square-mile is not picked up by the chrome extension.

Microsoft Planner Incompatibility

When the plugin is active, opening Microsoft Planner gives a white page and this error:

Error loading user settings. Please try again. If this continues please contact customer support.

Would be complete if it could also convert time, eg. 1:00 PM to 13:00

This extension would be complete if it could also convert time, eg. 1:00 PM to 13:00.

Convert lbs oz together

Eg:

3 lbs. 6.4 oz.

should be converted to

3 lbs. 6.4 oz. (1542g)

and not

3 lbs (1.36 kg). 6.4 oz (181 g)

Support L15.7in W0.59in H0.4in

Disable option for particular sites

Currently, it is either enabled for all sites or disabled for all sites. Would be nice if it is possible for the user to disable for some sites.
