Hi Jorge > Hi all Hi Vinod. I assume you received my email, and after considering, you decided to work on the GUI dpi for downloads. (please confirm me that) # Yes. I did intend to confirm after reply from mailing list regarding work. > I am pretty new to Dillo and would like to work on the downloads file. > [dpi] Please could anyone guide me on the present structure and what > enhancement or modifications to be made ? > > The overview of the current structure : > > 3 Structures - DownloadFile, DownloadStatus and DownloadWindow > > Api's to start and free new download, update status, list and create log, > get download size and time, add download to list and start and close > download. Also, api's for read socket and print list are provided. > > Can anyone tell me how to enhance this structure better ? There're two problems with the GUI dpi as is: 1.- it doesn't work reliably 2.- it's too complex for the things it does So, the work basically is to play with it a bit to know what features are provided (the new one should provide the same), simplify the internal representation and algorithms (the GUI part, the part of the code that comes from the original dpi needs not to be touched), and finally debug and perform stress tests to achieve reliability. # Thanks Jorge, Will peruse through the code this weekend. Cheers Jorge.- Regards Vinod Joseph _______________________________________________ Dillo-dev mailing list Dillo-dev(a)lists.auriga.wearlab.de http://lists.auriga.wearlab.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dillo-dev

[Dillo-dev]Using alternate char for TABBING
by Deon Stoltz June 9, 2004

June 9, 2004

I have recently discovered dillo and am delighted! Very fast and lightweight. We want to use if in a settop box application (thus the lightweight requirement). We need to interface to a IR remote control device so no keyboard are available. Web pages can normally be navigated with the TAB key. In our application we need to associate the TAB key with another key eg: ctrl-A. Do somebody know how, where to do this? I had a look in the code but I am not that strong on c++. ANY help will be appreciated! Thanks Deon

[Dillo-dev]Some remarks on the UI
by Sebastian Geerken June 6, 2004

June 6, 2004

Hi, several remarks on the UI, which should be fixed IMO. 1. Bug meter: The bug meter button reacts on the "pressed" event, to show the window, but it should react on the "clicked" signal. Popping up a window after a "pressed" signal is usually only done for volatile windows (like menus, or overview windows, like in GIMP, which often vanish again, after releasing the mouse button). Reacting on "pressed" is always a bit problematic, also because the pointer grab initiated with this event can cause side-effects. Furthermore, it should not have a relief, compare to the "Hide Controls" button. 2. The menus behind the "Back" and "Forward" buttons: Consider the following scenario: (i) The user presses button 3 on the "Back" button, and the menu is shown. (ii) He keeps the button pressed, moves to one entry in the menu, and releases the button. Nothing happens. Currently, the menu items only react on "button_press", which is anyway wrong (see above). Furthermore, in this situation, the item should already react on the "release" event, either as described above, or in the way (i) click on menu, (ii) click on menu entry. The current behaviour is that much confusing, that a user may think that it does not work at all. (I did!) (The implementation would become a bit tricky, since button 2 will pop up the page in a new window. Perhaps, I'd even suggest to skip this feature, if a clean solution is not possible.) BTW, it is not very obvious, that there is a menu behind these two buttons. Perhaps there should be, in the icon, a small arrow directed downdwards, or so. 3. Attached is the incomplete code of a new widget, which changes the behaviour of GtkButton: (i) It reacts also on button 2 and 3, this would make multiple functions for one button possible. Actually, this feature should be reserved for very few situation (since it is simply confusing), namely the "Clear URL" button, which may also be used for visiting the URL in the selection buffer. (ii) It provides a function for attaching a menu in a better way, than we have currently, for the "Back" and "Forward" menus, and for the bug meter. Simply copy all files into one directory, call "make", and run "testprg". Look, what happens with different mouse buttons. Comments welcome. Sebastian

[Dillo-dev]UTF-8
by Jorge Arellano Cid June 4, 2004

June 4, 2004

Hi guys! I just added a small hack to view UTF-8-encoded quotation marks. Yes, it's a mistery to me why someone would want to serve pages in english, encoded in UTF-8 instead of Latin1. ...but you may find some as this one: http://www.seattleweekly.com/features/0422/040602_news_microsoft.php Please let me know if you know of more pages like this one, or if you know the rationale for preferring UTF-8 over latin1 when the latter is enough. Cheers Jorge.-

[Dillo-dev]very simple question, and many kudos!
by Brian Hechinger June 3, 2004

June 3, 2004

first off, i would like to say that i am completely impressed with dillo's efficiency. i finally found myself to be in the position where i needed to get X11 onto my Toshiba Tecra notebook so that i could use a web browser. it's a 166Mhz with 32M ram, so i asked around what would be the best browser for such a low resource machine, and was told firefox by a few. so i got a copy of firefox. it was so slow, not only was it unusable, it made the rest of my computer unusable. then someone mentioned dillo. so i got it. i have to say, i can't even put my surprise of how fast it was into words. i was floored. this is EXACTLY what i needed. so far, it's perfect for me. the only thing that i have a question about is PgUp and PgDn only moving half a page at a time. is there a way to get them to move a full page? thanks, and keep up the excellent work!! -brian -- "Performing a Google search on the fairly unique name you've chosen weeks ago for a piece of software you're writing, only to discover that the sole occurance of that name is as a pen-name for someone who spends his spare time writing X-rated PowerPuff Girls fan fiction is pretty-much a buzzkill." -- Jonathan Patschke --

[Dillo-dev][bug] ppc64 crash on right-click / bug tracking system
by Thomas Cort June 3, 2004

June 3, 2004

Hi, I ran into a problem where dillo crashes when I right click on any part of a webpage. A full bug report is below this paragraph. When I went to use the bug tracking system I noticed the "Max 256 chars" notice. Is it possible to get this increased? I couldn't get my bug report into <= 256 characters. Dillo 0.8.1 on GNU/Linux (yellowdog 3.0) ppc64 (Apple G5) configure options: --prefix=/home1/students/tcort To reproduce bug: ssh with X11 forwarding and compression turned on, start dillo, and right click on any part of the webpage. Notes: I don't have local access to this machine, so I don't know if it's an X11 forwarding bug or a ppc64 specific bug. Browsing webpages works fine as long as you don't right click. Using other programs with X11 forwarding from this machine, such as gimp, work fine. Output: tcort@pepsi tcort $ ssh -X -C turing.ubishops.ca tcort(a)turing.ubishops.ca's password: [tcort@turing tcort]$ bin/dillo dillo_dns_init: Here we go! Disabling cookies. Nav_open_url: Url=>about:splash< Gdk-ERROR **: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) serial 2306 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0 Gdk-ERROR **: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied) serial 2307 error_code 10 request_code 102 minor_code 0 [tcort@turing tcort]$

[Dillo-dev]https (eg for posting to ps2 bulletin boards)
by robert w hall June 2, 2004

June 2, 2004

Every time I read the playstation2-linux lists I realise how very useful dillo will be when it gets just a little further. How's the short/medium term future of https looking?(*) If an official plugin is in the offing then that's probably what we should all wait for. Otherwise, is the patch from 0.7 resurrectable??

[Dillo-dev]dillo as a debian package ..?
by Jorge Arellano Cid June 1, 2004

June 1, 2004

Hi! It's been a long time since the debian package for Dillo is not updated. Since 0.7.3 to be accurate. :-( I've contacted Phil and, surprisingly, the only reason for them not being made is lack of time. Is here a Debian developer that can take the burden, or help Phil, or at least provide us with an x86 .deb to link to from the download page? It seems important because Debian lingering on 0.7.3 implicitly passes the (wrong) message of the latter versions of dillo not being worth an upgrade. TIA Jorge.- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jesper Olsen <__lazer __at phreaker__ net__> To: jcid(a)dillo.org Subject: dillo as a debian package ..? hello there .. Is there somewhere around where i can get dillo-0.8.1 as a .deb file?? i can't find it, i've almost looked everywhere :s MaNN, thank you for a wonderful browser .. it runs top stable and fast on my 166mhz .. well, it is a shame that i can't get the new versions of the browser ! DILLO ROCKS!!!!! - lazer

Another menu I didn't catch, the bug meter menu. :-) > Comments welcome. Very nice. :-)
