Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

And that's it, folks! Post 1000!

Time to release another deb and start a new thread!

EDIT:

Yeah, Tear keeps wanting to download the webpage instead of displaying it for me, especially on interactive sites (forums, facebook, etc)

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

AFAICT, the "download page" problem happens with embedded iframes. For me, anyway.

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

Dont know if this has been mentioned, but with the bookmark list (the up arrow on the right hand bottom) being on the extreme right hand side - what happens when we rotate the screen to portrait mode is that that bookmarks button become invisible and goes out of the screen in portrait mode.

On the MicroB the bookmarks button is on the left side, hence even in portrait mode you can access it.

From this perspective, often accessed buttons like bookmarks would be better being on left side, so that on rotated mode also, it will be within the screen real estate and visible.

Is this a doable suggestion ?

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

Sorry, I take back my above point. Tear is smart enough to show a shaded down arror in portrait mode with the menu and back (and I guess any controls which are out of the screen area) buttons as options when I click on that down arrow at the bottom.

Very smart indeed. Loved that feature which I had missed the first time.

That's a Maemo toolbar feature, not mine :)

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

Is there an "open in new window" option I'm overlooking, or am I still stuck with the stock browser?

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

Open a new window? Press the + icon.

Open a link in a new window? I think press and hold.

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

Btw, Bundyo, would you consider adding a feature to open the viewport context menus by menu key + normal tap, or another modifier? Basically like context menus used to work on Macs with single-button mice. Tap and hold is really difficult for me, perhaps due to the protection foil I have on my screen. I often don't manage to hold long or strongly enough, so it releases prematurely and becomes a normal tap. Or I screw up in the context menu somehow because I had to use so much force to open it. Plus with the modifier it would be much speedier than waiting for the duration of the tap-and-hold delay.

There are some approaches to doing this system-wide, but they're hacky and complicated to setup. You may have a chance to do this more easily when limited to the WebKit viewport in Tear. I'd love that feature.

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

File me a bug and I'll see what I can do :)

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

You have foil on your screen? I can see how that might cause problems.... ;)

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

Sorry guys, you can probably tell I'm not a native English speaker. I meant a thin, adhesive, transparent sheet of flexible plastic to protect the native screen surface from scratches :). The German word is "Folie", and for some reason I thought the English equivalent was "foil".

Will file the bug/wishlist item in a few minutes.

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

that would be a "screen protector"...

Thanks, tso.

scrollling speed is awesome and the option added feature oh' how great, can the default fonts be changed without affecting anything? thanks Bondyo for this good work.
True-J and Bongo you have done a good job can't thank you enough.

Can you tell me you hide MicroB's address bar in full screen mode? Thanks.

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

could someone please point me in the right direction on how to download Tear? I went to the first post and downloaded some .deb files but the application mgr won't let me install them.

Where do I go to get the initial download?

Thanks

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

Oh my.

I just installed this. I... like my tablet again.

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

The latest version is 0.3.1-2 (but if you used qole's repo, you should be okay :)

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

Yep... used Qole's repository, so I got the latest.

Is it worth fixing Registration and LogIn for Project Tear? I can't login. When I try to register as GeraldKo, it says the name is taken. When I say I forgot my password, it says it's sending me an email, but it doesn't show up at my email address.

It's fine with me, Bundyo, if you're happy just having us as guests. (Judging from your generosity in providing us this great program, I'm sure you're a wonderful host. :) )

[The guest that added Add FIND (that is, "Find on Page") functionality today -- that was me.]

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

Um, the users need validation and couldn't find a way to skip that. All current users are validated though. Dunno about the password, but I can change it if you want.

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

That web address does not exist (Sunday 28/06/2009).
Thanks,

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

I tried installing qoles repository and I added it as new to application manager in the catalogs but when i look for it (tear) under category internet it is not there. If i try to open it in a browser it doesn't exist also. Isn't this what GeneralAntilles was trying to point out, third party repos dispappear?

Reading the first page of this thread giving instructions it isn't really clear to me how i can install it. I don't want to be writing stuff in xterminal in root unless it is only one or two lines and it is very clear that i won't be messing anything up.
I was happy to see that i can just install it via a repository (qole) without having to write any commands that might get me into trouble because I know very little about maemo code now i see i can't acceess qole repo because it seems to have disappeared.

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

Qole's repository has moved:
Catalogue Name: Qole
Web address: http://qole.org/repository
Distribution: maemo
Components: main

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

And if it doesn't show up in App Mgr under Internet, try All.

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

I will gladly fix all references (that I made) to the old maemobox repository if you find them...

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

i added your repository and when i refresh it says failed to refresh and the same for the maemo catalogue. Searching for tear finds nothing. Clicking the "All" category for the whole list and scrolling down, tear isn't there.
When i click on your qole repositry in the catalog list it says,
"Qole - failed to refresh
http://qole.org/repository/dists/dia...el/Packages.gz
404 not found"

If you go to the first page of this thread first post and scroll down you will see where he mentions to use your repo and gives the link to page 37. That is where you have the old location of your repository. Page 38 too. Probably check the next couple of pages too.

I have maemo extras dev and maemo extras Chinook catalogs disabled, in case you need that info.

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

try just installing this (the tear app) and this (the webkit backend), and see if that gets you tear. I believe those are the packages that you would find in qole's repository in any case.

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

this works :)

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

And I thought I wrote that this thread is outdated. It is now.

I didn't put in

distribution: maemo

I'm usually very attentive to details and I don't know why i didn't see that before. Maybe it is because all the other repos don't have those fields filled in with the exception of maemos extras and extras devel having
components:free non-free

Now i see tear. Probably should emphasize those details on page 37.

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 

The other thread doesn't have page 37 :p

Holy crap dude! I just tried engadget to test it out because of stupid jkkmobile's http://jkkmobile.blogspot.com/
comments about how "on arm processors you have to wait" and he was opening up engadget which to me is a pretty bad site to open because it is deceptively not easy to open.
and I was able to scroll almost immediately!
Contrary to what he said at

This is great man, it is fast! Let me use it for a few days and see what i think. If my satisfaction continues like this then i will definitely throw you $20 in thanks on my next paycheck on the 15th if you give me a way to do that.
