RFC: human interface guidelines
by 4winter＠informatik.uni-hamburg.de May 21, 2008

May 21, 2008

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey everyone :) I was thinking about improving the dillo experience by adding some functionality / shortcuts people have come to expect. But what people expect is influenced by their background, their choice of desktop environment and platform. We could pick one / some user interface guideline(s) ([1] lists some) and try to adhere to it / them. Or we could pick one popular browser and copy its 'feel'. Attached are two patches mapping 'reload' to F5 and 'help' to F1. Let me know what you think of them and the whole interface thing.

[patch] minor memory reduction
by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de May 21, 2008

May 21, 2008

Hi, attached is a small patch to improve memory usage. It creates a single word for a sequence of spaces in PRE mode instead of one word per character. The second part is just a minor simplification. Cheers, Johannes

Uncluttering dillos UI - getting rid of the dialog boxes
by 4winter＠informatik.uni-hamburg.de May 21, 2008

May 21, 2008

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey everyone :) somewhere deep inside the "Future of Dillo" monster thread I suggested to get rid of the location dialog box but Johannes pointed out that this breaks the fullscreen mode. So, here is my proposed solution: * on ctrl-l: focus location bar * if in fullscreen mode: temporarily show toolbars until the user pressed enter I am not familiar with the fltk event model, so I just hijacked the existing event handler which works reasonably well. It would be nice to also capture any "on-blur" events, but I could use some hints (the fltk2 documentation only mentions 6 WHEN_* events, though some googling suggests that there might be UNFOCUS events... uh?). Anyway, the patch is attached. let me know what you think.

Keyboard shortcuts & fullscreen button
by 4winter＠informatik.uni-hamburg.de May 21, 2008

May 21, 2008

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The UI constructor creates a button for the fullscreen mode, but it is not added to anything: // Make the full screen button (to be attached to the viewport later) // TODO: attach to the viewport FullScreen = new HighlightButton(0,0,15,15); [...] Any idea why this was postponed? Should it be enabled now? Also I noticed, that the way events are handled is somewhat lax with respect to modifier keys. The code just checks if ctrl is pressed, not if ctrl but none of the other modifiers are pressed. This makes ctrl-l equivalent with ctrl-shift-alt-l. I'd like to hear your opinions, is this a bug or a feature?

Horizontal scrolling
by 4winter＠informatik.uni-hamburg.de May 19, 2008

May 19, 2008

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Huhu there :) attached is a tiny patch that enables the horizontal scrolling of the content of the main dillo widget. Unfortunately fltk supports this up to now (r6129) only on OSX. I do have a patch for fltk that enables this on x11, let's see if I can slip it in ;) Justus - -- gpg key fingerprint: C82D 382A AB38 1A54 5290 19D6 A0F9 B035 686C 6996 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIL0tNoPmwNWhsaZYRAmE+AJ9LN79iT4/nyt1JWJYt7BP1PYcFlQCeLV/g BRZ6xTrW7ER5rbDm7V5E1Hk= =SWKS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[patch] dillo and huge pages
by Johannes.Hofmann＠gmx.de May 19, 2008

May 19, 2008

Hi, to test how dillo behaves on huge pages, I downloaded the mysql manual as a single html page: http://downloads.mysql.com/docs/refman-5.1-en.html.tar.gz With this page I noticed that the drawRegion in FltkViewBase can grow pretty large which slows down loading the page. Attached patch limits the size of the drawRegion to 16 rectangles. With this patch (and HUGE_FILESIZE in cache.c increased to 16M) dillo works pretty well on this huge page. Better than dillo1 and firefox! One problem is that clicking on anchor links (to anchors within the page) reloads the page which take some time. Also memory usage gets pretty high (250M with images disabled). I'm experimenting with reducing the size of struct Word in textblock.hh by moving the highlight stuff out of struct Word and into Textblock. This brings memory usage down to 199M. However, I don't know the highlighting stuff enough to be sure I don't break anything. This probabely falls into the "premature optimization" category anyway. Cheers, Johannes

patch: dw configure args: rtfl and doublebuffer
by corvid＠lavabit.com May 19, 2008

May 19, 2008

I saw in the bug tracker that --disable-rtfl still turns on rtfl msgs. Did some reading. The third argument to AC_ARG_ENABLE is always run if the option was specified, regardless of the value. If the option is not specified, the fourth argument is run. --disable-FEATURE just becomes --enable-FEATURE=no. (I'll send a separate patch to Jorge to allow compilation with rtfl.)

Bug that aborts Dillo
by jcid＠dillo.org May 18, 2008

May 18, 2008

Hi there, I reviewed my personal notes on dillo segfaults and all of them but one are fixed now. This is: BUG: http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/96509133 /m/151006647731/r/264004847731 Aborts dillo. If you wget that URL to a local file, it's easier to debug because the problem is with a requested image. A negative number is propagated down from image.cc:199 #13 0x0807d083 in dw::Image::sizeAllocateImpl (this=0x81eca98,allocation=0xbfc69fb8) at image.cc:201 (gdb) p *allocation $4 = {x = 366, y = 941, width = 3, ascent = 2, descent = 1} (gdb) p dx $5 = 8 (gdb) p dy $6 = 26607 (gdb) allocation->width - dx = -5. from there width=-5 wreaks havoc. Please someone more seasoned in the (dx,dy) offsets give it a look. -- Cheers Jorge.-
