This is at least my third answer to this not high priority issue.

Now, considering that the default dillo uses Latin1, after reviewing the patch, I found 38% of the big representations table is useless... (and there are other things). > I know you are now hard-working but this patch is not too big > to review... Yes, it is not too big to read, but the work behind integrating a patch is certainly bigger than the patch itself. Most of the time it involves reviewing some RFCs, the internal working structure of the browser in that matter, performance issues, impact, internal standards, future, an so on. IMHO, this is not my duty to do, but the patch sender's, and when I see it was done losely, certainly it discourages me from working on it. If it regards a matter with low priority, then I have one more reason... Now, considering that I have excellent patches in the queue to review (with versions, research, README, Documentation, explanations...), I feel really guilty for dedicating much time to other stuff, but I hope this explanation serves everyone. > Once more sorry. I'm also sorry. Jorge.-

Tabbed version of Dillo, remarks
by Frank de Lange June 19, 2003

June 19, 2003

One last thing before I go to sleep... As already stated in the documentation (doc/DilloDoc.txt, but who reads documentation anyway?), the tabbed version of Dillo sometimes (to be specific, when loading a tab in the background) produces Gdk_CRITICAL messages on stderr. Like these: Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkwindow.c: line 1274 (gdk_window_set_cursor): assertion `window != NULL' failed. These messages come from deep within dw_widget (line 706), and seem to be caused by an error/a bug in the widget. What seems to happen is that the widget tries to reset the cursor for a non-existing window (gdk_window_set_cursor (GTK_LAYOUT(viewport)->bin_window, NULL while the viewport does not yes have a bin_window defined). Sebastian, any input on this?

By theway, do not let me possibly working on tabs withold you from doing the same... > Oh, one thing : Sebastian Geerken is the one responsible for > the widget part - unless he already mailed you :-) Ack, have not seen mail from him... Sebastian, maybe dw_gtk_scrolled_window needs a method to remove the gadget? I re-use the BrowserWindow's full_screen_off_button gadget in all tabs (reparenting it when needed), but I have to forcibly NULLify the window->gadget attribute to be able to add a new gadget to a dw_gtk_scrolled_window. It is not 'right' to mess with interal widget structures... or am I missing something? The code does not seem to provide a way to remove the gadget once it has been defined.

[RFC] Plans for next version of tab patch
by Frank de Lange June 18, 2003

June 18, 2003

Hej! Now that the first release of my tab patch is 'out there', I'd like to give a short overview of my plans for the next version of this patch. I do not know when I'll be able to release this next version, as I'm busy this week, followed by a trip to the UK (back the 13th of juli), but I will try to make it relatively soon... Anyway, some plans: Architecture ------------ - further separate interface code out of document code (interface messages currently go directly to the interface, some mediation might be necessary) Functionality ------------- - focus tab contents on tab switch (so key navigation works correctly without having to first click in the tab pane) - focus location bar on switch to empty tab/new tab - new empty tab should show/focus, even when 'tab load in background' is set - after tab delete, switch to NEXT tab instead of PREVIOUS (like mozilla) Coding ------ - clean up code organisation (declarations before g_return/comments) Bugs ---- - full screen off widget does not show after tab switch in full screen (probably hidden, it IS reparented) There might be more, or less. Let me know. Jorge, let me know if/when you plan to commit the patch to CVS Sebastian, do you have any suggestions as to why dw_widget tries to set the cursor on a non-existing bin_window in the mouse event code? See my earlier message on the Gdk-CRITICAL messages which sometimes appear when opening a document in a tab in the background...

Anti-Tab
by Andreas Zwinkau June 18, 2003

June 18, 2003

I just want to throw in, that tabbing may be a bloat-feature. Just because every modern browser has it and everybody wants it, i needn't to be necessary. I watched a similar discussion some time ago and a wise argument convinced me, that tabbing is not a task for a browser. Before you call me loony, listen. Tabbing is about handling different windows, but handling windows is nothing a browser should do. Leave to the programs, which are made for especially that: Window Managers! Tabbing should not be implemented in a browser, but in the window manager. Sorry, if KDE and Gnome don't support it (i think, am i wrong?) Just my 2ct ;) mfg Andreas Zwinkau | web: andi.dasstellenwirinsinternet.de | mail: andi(a)buxach.de | jabber: beza1e1(a)amessage.de

Location entry shortcuts
by Johan Hovold June 18, 2003

June 18, 2003

Hi! First I'd like to say thank you to every developer of dillo. For a long time I've been looking for a small and fast browser, and the recent development of opera has made this need even more acute. I've been working on a few improvements to dillos interface, which I will submit shortly, but there one thing I could use some advice on. I'm not a great fan of extensive mouse usage and would therefore like to have a shortcut to focus the location entry. In Mozilla and Opera ctrl-l and F8 respectively, focuses the location entry and selects its contents. Is this the way to go for dillo? Or is it better with one accelerator for location entry "grab_focus" (just focus) and one for the clear button "clicked" (clear and focus). I you prefer the first variant; should this shortcut also be available from within the location entry (one could instead use ctrl-a, ctrl-k), or just when the main document window has focus? The reason for the last question is that the current key_press_handler which handles backspace and '/' is connected to the main document window, and hence doesn't receive signals from the location entry. When I tried to connect it to the main window, a backspace in a form (or in the location bar) would trigger "back". Why is this? Why doesn't the the current key_press_handler receive signals when entering text in a form? Johan Hovold

Suggestion for a next dillo version
by Manuel Serrano June 17, 2003

June 17, 2003

Hello there, first of all, many thanks for making Dillo available. I'm using it on a daily basis. It does almost anything I want of my web browser (nearly may be CSS2 but this is not the purpose of this mail :-). I like the new feature of 0.7.2 that enables to hide the navigation bar. I was wondering if it could be possible to have an automatic hidden bar such as in many window manager (fluxbox, kde, gnone, ...). That is the navigation bar is automatically hidden until the mouse fly over the very top lines. If the mouse fly over these lines, it automatically appears... Do you think that it would be difficult to implement this feature in a coming version? Many thanks in advance and one more time, thanks for making Dillo available. -- Manuel

IFRAME element stub
by Nikita V. Borodikhin June 17, 2003

June 17, 2003

Hi all Dillo developers ! There is a very small patch to support IFRAME HTML element. It does nothing except handling IFRAME via FRAME handler so special IFAME attributes (width and height) are not handled but this patch is suitable for current temporary solution (as we do not have real frame support for now). Your, Nikita diff -pruN dillo/src/html.c dillo-iframe/src/html.c --- dillo/src/html.c 2003-06-06 14:13:00.000000000 +0700 +++ dillo-iframe/src/html.c 2003-06-11 16:50:54.000000000 +0700 @@ -3795,6 +3795,7 @@ static const TagInfo Tags[] = { {"hr", Html_tag_open_hr, Html_tag_close_nop}, /* html */ {"i", Html_tag_open_i, Html_tag_close_default}, + {"iframe", Html_tag_open_frame, Html_tag_close_nop}, {"img", Html_tag_open_img, Html_tag_close_nop}, {"input", Html_tag_open_input, Html_tag_close_nop}, /* ins */

[PATCH] Tabbed version of Dillo, now available on geocities
by Frank de Lange June 17, 2003

June 17, 2003

Hiya! I put my patch for a tabbed version of Dillo on a geocities page, so if you are quick you might be able to download it before Yahoo? shuts it down because the site has exceeded its puny transfer allowance. Get it here: http://www.geocities.com/ikbenfrank/dillo-20030615-tabs.patch.gz md5sum: dae3cc4bb8c6c31050abaf8013a7e973 As said, this patch applies to today's (well, yesterday's) CVS version of Dillo.
