not know how to interpret the "localhost" part.

Om my machine (firefox) path is always:

Code: Select all

file:///mnt/etc.

so URL have to be shorten for 16 or 7 depends if there will be "localhost" or not.

You can close YAD icon by MMB (middle mouse button) or wheel.

Hi.

As I recall, the real expression is file://localhost; file:/// is shorthand.

I suppose the script will have to accommodate the browser's way of
expressing it. May I suggest one of the five ways to detect it, here.

BFN.

Thanks, Puppy_Apprentice. The features that you added work well.

If I may, would it be possible to stabilize the picture shown? I mean:
separate it from the scrolling list of pictures?

Of course the chosen picture has to change when a new one is chosen, but
while we choose (scrolling down the list on the right), could it stay in place
and not scroll down too? I find it a bit confusing the way it is.

On the other hand, if it's doing this only on my old Opera, don't bother.

TIA. BFN.

Surprisingly, the links2 browser does this separation naturally, by default.

puppy_apprentice · #37 Post by **puppy_apprentice** » Tue 06 Nov 2018, 17:12

I think it is browser dependent. Sometimes browsers render pages differently.

You can check this part of code:

Code: Select all

if [[ ! -e "index.html" ]]; then
   echo -e "<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<title>Browser Picture Viewer</title>\n</head>\n<frameset cols=\"*,235px\">\n<frame src=\"\" name=\"view\">\n<frame src=\"gallery.html\">\n</frameset>\n</html>" >index.html
fi

Especialy this part:

Code: Select all

<frameset cols=\"*,235px\">

Thumnails part is 235 pixels wide.
Viewer part has '*' symbol that means window - 235 pixels.
Try to put instead of '*' eg. 1024 (or something near your screen size) - 235.

And this part:

Code: Select all

<frame src=\"\" name=\"view\">\n<frame src=\"gallery.html\">

Change to:

Code: Select all

<frame src=\"\" name=\"view\" scrolling=\"yes\">\n<frame src=\"gallery.html\" name=\"thumbs\" scrolling=\"yes\">

Maybe this help. Another solution is to use iFrames instead of Frames. But i'm not sure if Opera will render iFrames the same like Mozilla family browsers. Or maybe some JavaScript or CSS code is needed.

BTW. In Firefox you can move middle slider to change width of two parts. And F11 change view to full screen.

My browser viewer has one problem. It has to render all thumbnails. If pictures are very big and you have them many in directory loading will be very slow and memory usage big, especially without HDD and swap partition. But it is possible to make 'select' gadget instead of thumbnails.
