Hard to reproduce, though. Here's how to reproduce it: Load the attached page from the location box, then focus the viewport by clicking past the end of the page. I guess that as there're no widgets in that space, the iterator code gets a NULL and from there comes the segfault. Cheers Jorge.-

I wanted to be sure I had the latest Dillo before reporting the problem. I see that Dillo 0.7.1 has two sub-versions, 0.7.1.1 anmd 0.7.1.2. When I downloaded and extracted the latest tarball the resulting executable only shows 0.7.1 for the --version option. If you have the 0.7.1.2 tarball, you have the rigth one! The 0.7.1.2 version fixes the bookmark crash problems. If you still experience crashes with it, you've found a BUG so please report us howto reproduce it in order to fix it. Now, provided that I haven't received complaints in the past days (and there're a few thousand downloads), crashes may be due to a compiler or libraries problem... > My requests are both based on my experience with the Opera browser. First, is it difficult to change Dillo so that I can copy-and-paste text from the browser window? We have a dillo doing copy&paste in the CVS!, but it needs some testing and fixing because it crashes very often. Most probably the next release will have the feature. > I find it very handy to copy text from a web page to paste into a document, or an email, or whatever. Second, I really find Opera's mouse gestures for going forward and back very handy. To go to the previous page (back) you hold down the right mouse button and click the left button. To go forward you hold down the left mouse button and click the right button. With a little practice you can move back and forth between pages very quickly. Currently you can use "," and "." or "Backspace" and "Alt+Backspace" as back and forward shortcuts. Those are in the keyboard, I know, but they may help you in the meanwhile. Finally, the main reason for not incorporating new features is lack of manpower. The main developers are buried under a list with lots of high priority tasks (for instance my list has more than 30 items appart from the area I decided to work now!). Patches would be a lot easier to integrate if their authors took the time to do the toilsome task of checking them against the respective SPECS and RFCs, but most of the time they don't. > Thanks for a great browser! :-) Cheers Jorge.-

The difference between 0.7.1 and 0.7.1.[12] are indeed only 2 or 3 lines. One could say that 0.7.1 and 0.7.1.1 *should not* have been released. 0.7.1.1 and 0.7.1.2 are something like "rapid patches". I don't really think that Jorge will release any subversion like these two again. Oh, and yes, these few lines were responsible for the weird bookmark-add behaviour :-) > My requests are both based on my experience with the Opera browser. > First, is it difficult to change Dillo so that I can copy-and-paste > text from the browser window?

One could argue that it is quite easy *now* :-) this feature is in the latest CVS version thanks to Sebastian and Eric. > Second, I really find Opera's mouse gestures for going forward and > back very handy.

Cheers Andreas P.S.: The first two answers could have been found from checking the very recent archives. P.P.S.: you must have a reeeeeeeaaaaaaaaalllllyyyy wide terminal, or why are your lines soooooooooooo long ? ;-) -- **************************** NEW ADDRESS ****************************** Hamburger Sternwarte Universitaet Hamburg Gojenbergsweg 112 Tel. ++49 40 42891 4016 D-21029 Hamburg, Germany Fax. ++49 40 42891 4198

I'm not sure how to find the exact subversion, but the difference between 0.7.1.1 and 0.7.1.2 is apparently only a few lines. I have never had dillo crash with bookmarks, but my bookmarks are still unreliable - as dillo matures this will get better (I hope - I am not a developer ;) ). As for cut & paste, I have never used a version of dillo, but there is a cut & paste patch against CVS (Or, it is already in CVS?) In summary, The bookmarks problem exists in the actual bm server (afaik), and cut & paste is comming. As for mouse gestures, I can't see that happening soon... I'd rather see ftp support and frames :).

Yes, I wouldn't expect to see extensive support for mouse gestures in Dillo for a long time. I was only asking for consideration of two relatively simple gestures that are very effective, and addictive, once you've tried them. Cheers, Bill

A Question and 2 Requests

by William Trenker

How do I tell exactly which sub-version of Dillo is running? I was running Dillo 0.7.1 and it crashed when I tried to save a bookmark. I wanted to be sure I had the latest Dillo before reporting the problem. I see that Dillo 0.7.1 has two sub-versions, 0.7.1.1 anmd 0.7.1.2. When I downloaded and extracted the latest tarball the resulting executable only shows 0.7.1 for the --version option. My requests are both based on my experience with the Opera browser. First, is it difficult to change Dillo so that I can copy-and-paste text from the browser window? I find it very handy to copy text from a web page to paste into a document, or an email, or whatever. Second, I really find Opera's mouse gestures for going forward and back very handy. To go to the previous page (back) you hold down the right mouse button and click the left button. To go forward you hold down the left mouse button and click the right button. With a little practice you can move back and forth between pages very quickly. Thanks for a great browser! Bill

But maybe I miss > something or some glitch :-) It seems that you forget that OpenBSD ports must be able to run on all the architectures. That's not because it runs okay for your arch that it is okay for all. For example the port is actually building fine on sparc64 but display is fucked. I hope that you understand better now :) Damien
