 * Hei
   First of all, I was really blown away by that plugin, and how much it changes
   the dashboard. Great job!During my testing, I noticed, that the plain permalinks
   are not supported. It seems to work well with the Post name permalink structure.
   Best, Daniel

 * Thanks so much for the kind words and for taking the time to report this! You’re
   right, plain permalinks weren’t supported.
 * We are going to ship a fix that handles both shapes correctly, so plain permalinks
   will work in the next release. Really appreciate the heads-up!

 * We have just released 0.8.3. Can you check if that’s still a problem and we can
   close this as solved?
 * Thank you 🙂

 * Wow, great!
   I tested it and unfortunately it did not solve the issue. I assume
   it is because I installed WordPress in a subfolder. So the url will be mypage.
   com/wordpress/desktop-mode?target=%2Fwordpress%2Fwp-admin%2F, which does not 
   work.I tested it on another site, which is installed in the root directory. There
   it works fine.
