That file does indeed have a .gz suffix when I try it.
If you rename it to .pet, it will install.

What are you downloading it with? From dillo, it's "d88e1b9d1b162e20f4cd9ba5fa7bc6f6" :)

Opera-next on Wary 5,3.
The pet itself is no use to me, just curious that's all...

Ahh, see what you mean - same here. Clicking on it though, brings up the save dialogue, and the file is a .gz.

Interesting, since a pet is .gz file. I don't know why it doesn't keep the original name, though.

I don't think such a mod will ever com into existence. But you can simply do this:

1) In Dillo, from the webpage that won't display properly, hightlight the contents of Dillo's address bar and hit "Ctrl+c" to copy.
2) Open up a full-powered browser, hightlight the address bar, and hit "Ctrl+v" to paste. Hit "Enter" and boom! Done.

Actually, that isn't an unreasonable feature request. I'll try to look into it... Maybe add it to netsurf too (they are adding javascript support too)

I fully agree with Clive - what a useful feature that would be, and especially as a right-click feature upon the page for the "defaultbrowser script" which we normally use in Puppy.

Great idea Clive! I just wished like others around here that I could do more advanced programming as it's something I'd love making. Maybe Tech could achieve this as he's wonderful with these sort of patches. :)

I also use Dillo quite frequently ( I believe I've said this above somewhere? ), most often right here on the forum, but also on other pages mainly for quickly getting the news/info that I want and then getting out. Space.com mainly comes to mind as they use more assorted flash and java ads than I can easily block and Dillo presents me just the text and photos I want and none of those ads. Yet occasionally I do need to use SeaMonkey to view something in finer detail. Calling it forth from a patch would be so very helpful!

Again: Great idea Clive!

Cheers/Amicalement,

I'm not familiar with Dillo, but if you can add a script to Dillo's right click menu or other menu customization you could do something like this:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# assign to hotkey or perhaps to the light browser's right-click menu
# assign big browser to SUPERBROWSER
#highlight selection

SUPERBROWSER=/usr/local/firefox/firefox #/path/to/big/browser
 URL=`xclip -o`
 $SUPERBROWSER "$URL"
 exit 
Nicer would be to have it totally integrated within the browser :D

Cheers,
s

Hi,

When viewing forum posts using Tman’s Dillo 2.2 some characters do not display properly - e.g. the apostrophe (‘) and double quotation marks (“

Jasper,

Have you tried it with the actual pet?

Also a link to test would be helpful..

Hi aragon.

That was a quick response. The screen shot below shows the start of my post as viewed from Dillo (which is in substitution for a link - where I only took a snapshot of the two words).

Yes, I tried your Dillo 2.2 pet and two pets from Tman.

I suspect that apart from the Dillo screen shot - my above post looks normal to most readers.

My regards

Ah, ok i see. But back to the other part of the question, did you try the actual pet from the first post (3...)? You're allways refering to 2.2 which is an older one...

Hi aragon,

I tried v 3 from Tman and v 2.2 from yourself and Tman.

I can try your 3.0.2-1 pet in about 2 hours from now if you think it may help.

My regards

Update - I have just tried your 3.0.2-1 - but no joy.
I will be back on line in about two hours.
