QtWeb 3.8.5

[perdido]

Hello All.
The browser I am using to write this is Firedog but I do use the older version of QtWeb which is available on this forum. I cannot find a way of downlaoding QtWeb from http://insurance.tf-bank.net/50MB/dl/1379019111.pet. Is anybody having the same problem and if not can anybody tell me how they did it.

Regards,

Ken.

Hi keniv ,
It seems that the temporary file bank is still broken

I downloaded both QTWeb3.8.4 & QTWeb3.8.5 from the temporary file bank, since they seem to be no longer available I am hosting those files at the following url's

QTWeb 3.8.4 ------> http://www.ibm-pc.org/puppy/QTWeb384/qt ... 6-b108.pet
md5 970e32dbde2f9f4bdf0ba926c4538f80
Renamed from 1379019111.pet by me (made better sense at time)
As originally downloaded from http://insurance.tf-bank.net/50MB/dl/1379019111.pet , same md5 just renamed file.

QTWeb 3.8.5 ------> http://www.ibm-pc.org/puppy/QTWeb385/1421268933.pet
md5 4ba727b1183a4b8e1bc282fcfba2a4c9
As originally downloaded from http://insurance.tf-bank.net/50MB/dl/1421268933.pet

Thanks for posting the links perdido. I have downloaded both and am posting from the 3.8.4.pet now. Very easy to transfer over and edit my favouries from the older version. Also seems to work better on my hardware.

Regards,

Ken.

3.8.4 from preceding link downloads (with Opera) as .gz which I can rename to .pet and install. 13MB. /usr/local/bin/QtWeb works.

3.8.5 will not install. About 32MB.

Could these be added to package manager list?

hum 3.7.3 on slacko 5.3.3 LXDE, I can jump to 3.8.5. Test on new pupsave. Come back soon
My check is mainly on you Tube
You Tube ; yes or no
if yes, Does Youtube allow me to Modify my videos with edition tools

The problem is elsewhere.
With what version of Puppy will you be using QtWeb?

In wary 5.5, for example, forget it, it's a no-go, because wary 5.5 is missing too many libraries that QtWeb requires to run.

A bit late, but I think I am running 385 and not 386 on waryBabybarebones 5.1, without dep issues.
Edited:Correction: I am running 385 (latest one) on Tahr and 384 on Wary. There is no 386.
So you should choose the proper QtWeb version.

QtWeb 3.8.4 installed in ISO Slegopen (Slacko 32 bits) . You Tube not yet tested.

QtWeb 3.8.4 accepted by You Tube. One of my vidéos is being processed by Youtube (contrast +1). You can do as Openshot, without openshot.
That is an advantage to take in account when you choose a browser.

What is the difference between 3.8.4 and 3.8.5, to know if i miss something ?
Medor will provide pet QtWeb to people asking for it here, forum francophone, for people speaking french, and others. (compiled for Slaxen, the newer Slacko of Toutou Linux Team)

You actually do not need a pet.

You can keep your QtWeb outside the pupsave, so you can use 1 QtWeb for several installations.

There is an archive on this page :
http://qtweb.net/update.html

There is also a long list of changes for every update there. I guess the reason for one version of QtWeb working or not working in this or that puppy version must be in that list. But I am no techie.
Maybe the change of the Qt Framework could be a reason? Btw, the version of QtWeb refers to the version of the QT Framework.

I love the zoom text only option (doesn't also scale images) and the click the scroll-wheel and then spin it to increase/decrease text size, before clicking the wheel again to lock that text size.

Nice tip rufwoof.
Thanks again!

How French can change English to chinese ? Easy ! All languages are not available. Most of Puppy users learn English at school, so QtWeb has 'Anglicky' as default.
QtWeb was developed In Europe,and is as default in Hungarian Puppies as Slegopen (Version 3.8.4)

QtWeb 3.8.5 available from my MediaFire a/c, here:-

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 164#931164

I don't care what anybody says, this thing is so small it hardly takes up any space in the save-file.....and it's good enough to function as the main browser. It seems to function better installed as a .pet, anyway.

I've based it on Médor's 3.8.4.2.....and just upgraded the binary itself. Runs nicely.

Qt-Web has been included as default browser in many puppies... well, as soon as you are a normal user, Qt-Web quickly get you nervous... Facebook, you-tube are very popular.. but Qt-Web unable to go there.

Is it clever to provide low-cost browser in a Puppy if you must buy one to surf the web.. Palemoon is light and efficient.. Qt-Web is not friendly.
On fora, browser is essential part of an OS.. Why to spend time on icons, themes, bluetooth, Multimedia if you spoil your nice job by a low cost browser ! ISO is more than 300 mbs, with elinks qt Qt-Web as browser.. It looks likes a Mercedez benz delivered with a Renault 4 driving wheel..

as an example Mediafire refuse QT-Web 3.8.5 (download Wine version mikeslr)
