Feature request - Open tab in background
by Colin Michael Yates Sept. 8, 2003

Sept. 8, 2003

Hi, Is it possible to open a tab in the background, instead of it always getting focus? I generally go to a forum (for example), and open the messages that I want to read in a seperate tab, when I have selected all the messages I want to read, I then go through them one by one. Is this feature already implemented, or does anybody with more C coding skill then me want to implement it :) Cheers, Colin

How do your clear the dillo cache
by Ronald W. Henderson Sept. 7, 2003

Sept. 7, 2003

Folks: How do you clear the Dillo cache? I am using dillo (0.7.3) to view an updated local html file: "file:xxx.html". I have to stop and restart dillo to see the updates. The "Reload" Button or open file menu option just keeps loading the cached pages... Thanks..

Check for unterminated quoted strings
by Andreas Kemnade Sept. 6, 2003

Sept. 6, 2003

I found this tag on pages at www.reichelt.de: <A HREF="Info.html?P1mqhKwQAQsAAHVmTEY+Suche+0+50+LM%20324%20D%20SMD+lm324" onmouseover="return overlib('<TABLE><TR><TD><font face=\'Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\' size=1 color=\'#FFFFFF\'></font></TD></TR></TABLE>',CAPTION,'LM 324 D SMD');" onMouseout="return nd();"> It looks like correct html to me or am I wrong? But dillo does not render it correctly. It is rendered like this: <A HREF=... onmouseover="...TABLE"><TR><TD>... So the check for unterminated quoted strings confuses the table handling. With a small change to html.c, it will be rendered correctly: /* Skip over quoted string */ buf_index++; buf_index += strcspn(buf + buf_index, - (ch == '"') ? "\">" : "'>"); + (ch == '"') ? "\"" : "'"); if ( buf[buf_index] == '>' ) { /* Unterminated string value? Let's look ahead and test: * (<: unterminated, closing-quote: terminated) */ I don't know why that check is there. Does HTML allow quoted strings to be not terminated? I guess there is a better solution than mine. Greetings Andreas Kemnade

Something to think about: free vs. proprietary OSes
by Kelson Vibber Sept. 5, 2003

Sept. 5, 2003

<flamebait> So if Dillo is about 100% free software, including the OS it runs on, does that mean we should reject any patches that help Dillo run on Solaris, IRIX, AIX, HP-UX, Mac OS X and so on? If something breaks compatibility with Cygwin, should we let it slide because Cygwin only runs on Windows? What's next, dropping support for SuSE because it's less free than Debian? Red Hat because they call it "Linux" instead of "GNU/Linux?" </flamebait> Where do we draw the line... and why? Compatibility? Ideology? If someone came up with a way to get a working prototype on Mac OS classic, without any effort on your part, would you reject their contribution because the OS is proprietary? If yes, what makes Solaris different? If no, what makes Windows different? A consensus on this issue would be useful, especially the next time someone expresses interest in using Dillo on a nonconventional platform. -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

Re: [Dillo-dev] could not find font

So somehow that dillo executable knows how to > find the fonts? No. It may be that they don't try with the same fontnames! Make sure both provide the exactly the same Dw_style_font_realize() font. If it's the same, check you're using the same dillorc for both. If the problem still persists, using both on the same machine under the same username, using the same dillorc, I'm puzzled! > I am guessing I need to pass a font dir or something > related to x/xfs here?

Re: [Dillo-dev] Dillo on Windows fork

[Please, let's keep this discussion on the ML] Hi, > > If someone wants to port Dillo to Windows, he > > can look at how Sylpheed-Claws I/O infrastructure was ported to Windows. > > Sylpheed-Claws does not use pthreads, but it forks... > > Windows doesn't fork. That can be emulated with spawn. Threads is a better > approach. I don't know how he did that, but I remember those two parts (IO and forking) were the first things that needed to be ported to Windows. My message wasn't aimed at discussing technical points (I never programmed in Windows), but rather to point to some light-weight gtk 1.2 project that was already successfully ported to Windows, so less experienced developers could take a look on it. > > I think, if someone does not already have the experience of > > porting to Windows.... > > I ported CinePaint to Windows, the largest GTK project ever ported aside > from GIMP. Then disregard my email, it will not help you :). I thought someone was in need of technical help for porting to Windows, so I posted some hints in the case where the poster was not so experienced. > >...looking at Claws versions can be very helpful, as our port > > is done by a very knowledgeable guy. > > Cool, who was that? Just google for Sylpheed-Claws & win32 :) -- Melvin Hadasht

The only requirement is to release the sources under the GPL with any release you do. Regarding the need for a windows port, I don't quite see who would need such a thing (besides you, obviously). Windows has phoenix, which is lightweight enough when the OS itself need a big machine only to boot. As for running old versions of windows on a small machine, it really is ludicrous. Running an OS that's unsupported, crash-prone and hopelessly outdated like W9x sounds like a bad idea. This kind of machine is a perfect target for a small linux. Good luck anyway. Eric

Re: [Dillo-dev] Dillo on Windows fork

Robert, > Well, for me, one of the annoying things about M$ is it's policy of > aggressive obsolescence. Let's not debate the pros and cons of Microsoft. It isn't that interesting and anyone with an opinion is unlikely to change it. In my world, that is, motion picture animation and special effects, the O.S. situation is very different from elsewhere. If you read my articles in Linux Journal then you are aware that in motion picture production Linux dominates as the most popular O.S. on servers and desktops. Windows isn't even a close second. The largest corporate installations of Linux in the world are DreamWorks, ILM, and Disney. To support all operating systems -- even minor ones like Windows -- is a mark of professionalism where I come from.

Dillo configure cannot find zlib, jpeglib not libpng
by Scorpio Rising Sept. 3, 2003

Sept. 3, 2003

Hello, just joined. I have a configuration problem in Debian stable. The configure file cannot find/use the z, jpeg or png libs that are in /usr/include. *** cannot locate***......disabling jpeg/png/libz I have tried the command line options and even hardcoding the paths in configure.in to no avail. I have installed the dev-headers for these packages. Other programs (GIMP, ShowIMG, etc) find and use them just fine. Dillo works, but no images :-\ Thanks, -- Gregg
