Basically I'm waiting for these issues to be solved to make the 0.7.2 release. Has anyone else tested the changes this mail's subject alludes? Cheers Jorge.-

Bookmarks menu?
by Lars Clausen 11 Apr '03

11 Apr '03

Whatever happened to my bookmarks menu in 0.7? I have the bookmarks button which opens the bookmarks page, but I really prefer the menu as it doesn't disturb my pages. Is there an option to turn it on somewhere? Some other way? I still see it in the screenshots on the Dillo pages, are they just too old? -Lars -- Lars Clausen (http://shasta.cs.uiuc.edu/~lrclause)| Hårdgrim of Numenor "I do not agree with a word that you say, but I |---------------------------- will defend to the death your right to say it." | Where are we going, and --Evelyn Beatrice Hall paraphrasing Voltaire | what's with the handbasket?

dillo mailer ...
by Lars Segerlund 11 Apr '03

11 Apr '03

I am trying to make a mail plugin for dillo, and have started off looking at the bookmarks, would it be correct to assume that interface.c is the right place to start looking for getting the button into the menu ? Are there any things to look out for ? ( stumble on ). Am I correct to assume that plugins have to be compiled in as for now ? ( ie. there is no dynamically loaded plugins ? ) / Lars Segerlund.

Missing favorite features
by Niklas Höglund 10 Apr '03

10 Apr '03

One feature that's available in the Gecko-based browsers that I like a lot is to be able to select a link by typing the first letters of it. This enables completely "rodent-free" navigation. (In dillo I can't even find a key to go "back".) I just thought I'd check if this is on the radar. I'd also like to "me too" on the issue of connecting dillo to external applications for unknown filetypes and protocols. I don't think dillo should handle ftp, for example, or PDF. gftp and xpdf should do that. However, I think something more than "nothing" should happen when you click on something unsupported... Anyway, nice work making a light-weight browser. I use dillo a lot on my handheld, and even sometimes on my desktop machine. -- Niklas

OpenBSD-3.3 and -current and G_DNS_THREADED
by Dan Weeks 10 Apr '03

10 Apr '03

Hello, I was using dillo from the OpenBSD ports before, but at the urging of a friend I've tried out the CVS version. Since dillo has threaded DNS queries by default OpenBSD would load the first page and then generally fail to load anything after that (images from other sites on that page, new pages, etc.). The problem lies in the fact that the gethost* calls on OpenBSD-3.3 and -current are not thread safe. Even though threads support has been greatly improved, threaded dns queries are still out (unless you do locking with mutexs, but you already have another framework for dealing with this issue). Attached is a small patch that makes dillo-cvs work on OpenBSD-3.3 and -current. Thank you, -dan ------------%< snip %<----------------------%< snip %<------------ --- src/dns.c.orig Sat Apr 5 20:09:03 2003 +++ src/dns.c Sat Apr 5 20:09:28 2003 @@ -37,7 +37,9 @@ /* * Note: comment the following line for debugging or gprof profiling. */ +#if !defined(__OpenBSD__) #define G_DNS_THREADED +#else /* * Uncomment the following line for libc5 optimization

Well, I think the text for "full-screen" and "Url-box" tooltips is OK, and as no-one else commented on it, I think they agree. As for the patch for a pop-up window with messages, I think the same as the poster who answered. The patch in the bugtrack: BUG#330: Type: misbehaviour Comments: Focus isn't set by default. URL box should get input focus initially, and after a URL is entered the main area should get focus. HTReproduce: Try to visit a page and scroll it without using the mouse. WorkedBy: nobody "... after a URL is entered the main area should get focus" Not the URL-box! (as the patch does). And as explained in the we site (New developer Info), we strive to find the root of the problem, not only workaround the symptom. Dillo-dev has hundreds of susbcribers, so I'm not the only one to complain for not answering (though it has become common that some messages remain unanswered, as everywhere). Reading the documentation in the site and adhering to it also helps to get an answer. > Also, why are my name and Randall Maas' name excised from the AUTHORS > file?

When the dillo project started more than 3 years ago, I renamed the old changelog to "ChangeLog.old". It's been there since the beginning. I'm not sure if there's still some code from Randall. What I'm sure is that the IO code is completely new, and his name still appears in IO/Url.c (even though it was completely rewritten). Sincerely Jorge.-

Proxy-auth
by Daniel Lord 10 Apr '03

10 Apr '03

Hi List, First of all. This is a very interessting and good projekt. Thanks to all the developers. Second: henrik.baastrup(a)eds.com wrote some code for 0.6.6 to enable dillo for doing proxy auth. Today I grabbed the 0.7.1 Version and build it. Sadly I realized that I had to patch it myself again. Now that it's working again is someone of the development team interessed in adding the code to the cvs?! Please say yes ;) an contact Henrik Baastrup, please. -rwx------ 1 me me 278560 Apr 8 17:05 src/dillo* ^^^^^^ unpatched -rwx------ 1 me me 279296 Apr 8 16:31 src.p/dillo* ^^^^^^ patched Greetings Daniel -- "Those who desire to give up Freedom in order to gain Security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one." --Thomas Jefferson

externa
by Andreas Zwinkau 09 Apr '03

09 Apr '03

I currently got into BitTorrent and now i am thinking, if Dillo somehow supports external applications? It would be the same with ftp and alike. Why doesn't Dillo just start another app to handle this? BitTorrent is a great idea for distributing large files to a large audience, but Dillo is a little incooperative in this way. Or is it possible to run other apps with certain protocols/filenames? -- Andreas Zwinkau | web: andi.dasstellenwirinsinternet.de | mail: andi(a)buxach.de | jabber: beza1e1(a)amessage.de Amikeco aparte, afero aparte

Great work!
by Diego Sáenz 07 Apr '03

Very thanks for dillo. It is a very good work and the only graphic browser realy usable in my pentium 150 with 16 MB ram. I have downloaded the cvs version after test the 0.6.4 in debian woody and actually i am reading the code. One idea to support various PIs can be this: To have a script file in user home with the list of available PI that can be exec when dillo load(how secure is this? i think it is fine with the right permisions) or with a few delay after dillo load. The PIs can be comented or uncomented by an cfg app. When the PIs are exec without parameters they tell its data (prefix or sufix, set menus, etc like specs sugest) to dillo by a registration socket and exits. If an PI says it is a run-all-the-time-PI(server) dillo can exec it later or else be runed only when it is need. Example: ~/.dillo/PIlist have #/bin/sh # name="bookmarksr PI" dillo_bm_serv_1_0 # name="bookmarksr PI" #dillo_bm_serv_0_9 # name="bookmarks PI" dillo_downloads_1_0 # name="external https PI" #dillo_https_0_2 when dillo starts it execs "~/.dillo/PIlist" then dillo_bm_serv_1_0 is exec send data and exits, next dillo_downloads_1_0 is exec send data ... PS: Sorry for my bad english i am spanish and like a joke says this is a black point to learn languages(even for foreing people to learn spanish here :).
