BID Chrome Extension - right click context menu

This extension adds a button to the Google Chrome toolbar which allows you to open the current page with BID, add the current page to the BID Queue Manager job list or open the current page with the BID Link Explorer.

Installing the BID Chrome extension for Windows 8 users:

The BID Chrome extension uses a "NPAPI" plugin to launch the BID executable from within the web browser. Unfortunately Windows 8 "Metro" style applications do not support this type of plugin, so this extension will not be available when Chrome is running in Metro mode. The good news is that it will still work if you run Chrome in standard "desktop" mode.

The next problem is that the Chrome Web Store now blocks the installation of any Chrome plugin containing NPAPI plugins if it detects that the user is running Windows 8, even if the user is already in "desktop" mode. Because of this the BID Chrome extension must be installed manually as follows:

Step by Step Guide to installing the BID Chrome Extension for Windows 8 users:

1. Make sure that you're running Chrome in "desktop" mode.
In Windows 8 only the default web browser will use Metro mode, so if you've made Chrome the default browser you'll need to switch the default browser back to IE. Another way is to click on the Chrome menu button (the button with 3 horizontal lines) and select "Relaunch Chrome on the Desktop".

2. Download and save the BID Chrome extension to your hard drive by right clicking on this link, and selecting "save target as":
http://bulkimagedownloader.com/files/BIDChromeExtension4.40.0.0.crx

3. Open the Chrome extensions page by clicking the menu, then selecting Tools->extensions, or just open this web page: chrome://chrome/extensions/

4. Drag the recently saved extension file into this newly opened extensions window. A 'drop target' should appear for you to drop the file into. Follow the prompts to complete the installation of the extension.
