I don't understand what the difference is between this and the polarhome one that you just mentioned. Or are you saying a link to a local file? In general, it sounds like you're accustomed to a dillo with third-party patches.

issues & suggestions

by sandshrew＠gmail.com

First of all would like to thank you for this great little web browser. You are doing a really good job. Keep it up! :) Now let's move on to issues & suggestions. Issues: 1) When trying to login to gmail I get a big ugly warning saying: "Non standard meta refresh tag". The "here" link doesn't work. gmail basic html view works ok with links-hacked & elinks. So, I guess, that shouldn't be hard to fix. 2) With the latest dillo2 version (I think this bug was introduced only recently, as I tested dillo2 from cvs not so long ago & it wasn't present) the menu is "teared off" when pressed. Here is a screenshot: http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/5211/dillomenuxu9.png and dillorc I use: http://pastebin.com/f42244f75 3) What happened to frame support? dillo 0.8.6 was able to display them without any problems. Also I don't know what's causing that but going to www.polarhome.com/~hakim pops-up "save as" window (Writing this here because the site has frames). 4) Some keyboard shortcuts are missing. I didn't find shortcuts for: Home, Stop, Save, bookmark current page. 5) When clicked on a link to some file which is not web page dillo should bring up a window asking where I want to save it instead of displaying warning saying it's not a txt file. Suggestions: 1) Currently there doesn't seem to be a way to navigate bookmarks with keyboard. Plus I think it would be way better if bookmarks manager wasn't just an html file (for speed & additional features like bookmarks toolbar). 2) History and address autocompletion (which could come with history) imho is needed a lot. 3) Both history & bookmarks could be saved in sqlite db. 4) web page source code could be searchable and code highlighting could be added too. 5) Both web page source & downloads should be opened in a new tab instead of new window (or at least there could be an option for that). 6) When closing dillo with multiple tabs open, it always asks if I really want to do that. There could be an option "Don't ask again" like in other browsers. 7) Let's say I typed sth in a text field, then changed my mind and want to go to previous page. The thing is, I can't do that using keyboard shortcut anymore (I have to click BACK button with mouse). Escape keyboard key could "escape" from the text field and enable keyboard navigation in this case. 8) Also I am really missing "Copy current URL location" which is present in links-hacked right-click menu. Maybe this could be added to dillo too? -- Brain: an apparatus with which we think we think. - A. Bierce

enabling frames

by itsme_410＠yahoo.com

Hi, It is good to see the new dillo2. Thanks very much!! Is there any proposal to allow frames in dillo in the near future? Sites such as www.washingtonpost.com end up almost unreadable without frames. Many thanks again and best wishes, Trotter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Yes, but it'd be good to state that this happens with OSX, or whatever the OS he has, but that's NOT the common behaviour. -- Cheers Jorge.-

..although then again it's possible that either we or fltk made OSX much worse in recent weeks. (wasn't it supposed to draw a little oddly?)
