== Greasemonkey -> XPI compiler: how to detect when a script is running under it? ==

Hello, Arantius.
If I can answer your question, I'll do it there.
I am using your compiler to port one of my userscripts into a firefox extension. The script has got some features that are useful while it's still a script (e.g.: checking for new versions), but completely useless - or, worse, even dangerous - if running as a FF extension.
Is there a way to detect whether the script is running thanks to the script-compiler.js or not? I was thinking about a variable, maybe something simple like MOUNTED = True on loading of the script and False on unloading, but how to achieve that? Or do you have any better suggestion?
Thanks a lot, and keep on doing your great job :)
Daniele
: There isn't a good way now.  The easiest would be to test for the presence of an API newer than the compiler, e.g. [[GM_listValues]].  If that function exists, it's not the compiler, because the compiler doesn't provide it. [[User:Arantius|Arantius]] 22:00, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
