In a puppy derivative I discovered QtWeb.

Would any one be so kind enough to deliver the latest as pet.

Thanks

Subject is still valid.

needed by one user, helpfull to thousands. Merci Pelo.
Why french would have recently done a pet if useless ?
Try QtWeb instead of wondering about the dates !

pet requested for version 3.8.5
Not only one person was needing this version, i suppose. My 3.8.4 with Slegopen is enough for Youtube, and... Facebook.
perdido has version 3.8.5.

Is a late answer better than no answer.. ? Yes Exclamation

Afternoon, all.

Been using this for quite a while, in various Pups. As Geoff said back on page 1 of this thread, it's a keeper.....amazingly full-featured for its diminutive, Pup-sized 'pawprint'..! As requested, here's a .pet for 3.8.5, which is available from my MediaFire a/c:-

I've used Médor's 3.8.4.2 from the French forum as the template, and merely upgraded the binary itself.....which is all you get in the download in ANY case. Runs sweetly.....and rather more efficiently than as a stand-alone, executable binary. Seems to prefer being properly installed, since for some reason it places its cache & settings in the same directory as the executable..../usr/bin. Anyway.....

Enjoy!

Saw this thread the other day, and wondered what in the heck a qtWeb browser could be like. Downloaded it, threw it on one of Fred's DebianDogs, and good heavens, the thing is dam# blazing fast. I am in love with the thing---maybe I haven't tested it enough, but it seems more stable the Midori, handles "https" better (though Youtube did trip it up a bit), and I love how you can customize it. I just found my new browser for pure fun browsing exeprience for all the pups I use.

Thanks all for bringing this thread up. ~12.5MB, I still can't get over it is that small Very Happy

Hi, Mike Walsh.

I suppose it requires the entire Qt package to run?

BFN.

"-- Qt-library statically combined." I suppose that mean that Qt libs are included. Qtweb is ready for use (at least the version compiled by Médor, our French Linux expert)
As Slimboat, you can launch QT apps to take advantage of installed QT libs. Symphytum is really a nice one (database)

Had to have a look-see. Set up 3.8.5 to live and run from my non-boot Ext2 drive (portable setup). I just set up a wrapper which calls explicit locations and a launcher to call that wrapper. I'm currently in LxPupSc 16.11.1. Runs quickly and well, sets up and remembers its profile on that drive just fine, configures and sees my fonts correctly. Quite quick and rendering not bad but I have yet to get it to import html bookmarks from a file at all. Using its import facility, I go to my directory holding both Opera andFirefox exports in html format and it shows an empty directory. Played with case etc. to no avail. Anybody done this? Just want to know if it is a quirk of my setup or more general.

Hi, Marv.

No mate, it's not a quirk of your setup..! I've tried this out in different ways, and it doesn't matter if you use it in 'portable' format, or as a 'regular' install; it just will not show imported bookmarks.

That is its one Achilles hell, I find. Aside from the need to re-enter your most-used bookmarks from scratch, everything else about it is amazing. Astonishingly fast, pin sharp rendering on my old Dell lappie (which is the one I wanted a lightweight browser for in the first place), and it hasn't turned its nose up at any of my regular 'awkward' sites yet.....

First time for everything though.....! We'll see.
