| __mal-decimal-scores__ is a Google Chrome extension that allows you to give | |||||
| decimal scores for your anime on [MyAnimeList](http://myanimelist.net/). | |||||
| When enabled, the normal 1-10 system is replaced with one from 1.0 to 10.0. | |||||
| Rounded integer scores are saved on MyAnimeList as usual, and decimal scores | |||||
| are saved using [Chrome sync](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/storage) | |||||
| so that they are available on any device you have using Chrome. | |||||
| ## Installing | |||||
| Currently, the extension is not available in packaged form. This may change in | |||||
| the future. | |||||
| To install it from source, first clone the repository into a permanent | |||||
| location. Then, go to [chrome://extensions](chrome://extensions), enable the | |||||
| "Developer mode" checkbox in the top right corner, click on "Load unpackaged | |||||
| extension...", and choose the directory of the git repository. | |||||
| You will need to pack the extension yourself if you want scores to be synced | |||||
| between multiple computers. Click on the "Pack extension..." button and choose | |||||
| the git repository directory as the extension root. After the extension is | |||||
| packed, open the resulting `.crx` file in all copies of Chrome that you want to | |||||
| share the same set of scores. | |||||
| ## Usage | |||||
| Usage should be mostly straightforward – in any place where you would | |||||
| previously rate an anime by selecting a score from a dropdown menu, you can now | |||||
| enter a number. Decimal scores are enabled on your list page, individual anime | |||||
| pages, pages where you can add to/edit your list, and the "shared anime" page. | |||||
| Scores can be exported by going to the standard list | |||||
| [export page](http://myanimelist.net/panel.php?go=export), which will cause a | |||||
| `animelist_decimal_scores.json` file to be downloaded to your computer. Scores | |||||
| can be loaded from this file by going to the | |||||
| [import page](http://myanimelist.net/import.php). | |||||
| ## Caveats | |||||
| - Only anime can be given decimal scores. Manga scores are not affected. | |||||
| - As noted above, only you can see your decimal scores. Others will see your | |||||
| scores rounded to integer values. | |||||
| - Due to data restrictions in Chrome sync, there is an upper limit to the | |||||
| number of anime you can give a decimal score. This limit should be no less | |||||
| than a few thousand titles. You can check your data usage by going to the | |||||
| [export page](http://myanimelist.net/panel.php?go=export). | |||||
