Re: [Announce] Webcat Browser

Update:
I worked on some stuff the last couple of days. Unfortunately I still don't get the whole cookie stuff (they changed a lot here between Qt4 and 5).
What I could get to work is clearing cookies by simply removing the file that stores the cookies on the filesystem. This needs however a restart which is currently triggered in the code.

To sum up the new features/fixes:

Fixed getting some links (especially relative ones) from site on longpress
Fixed requesting new page links that don't use _blank target
New default behavior "Open in New Tab" will open tab in background
Added set default search engine
Added a new icon based upon the one from Morpog (thx for that)
Added clear cookies to settings (in PullDown Menu)
Changed AddBookmark and settings to Dialog
Save userAgentName and use it as default for AddBookmarks aswell
Added 'Open in New Window'

RPM Download as usual from openrepos.net: https://openrepos.net/sites/default/....armv7hl_0.rpm

It takes a few days for the harbour version to be updated I guess.

Re: [Announce] Webcat Browser

I can't remove default bookmarks. They reappear on every launch.

what is that thing in the center of the earth? Remove it please?

Re: [Announce] Webcat Browser

It should be the eye of a cat I think. But for me it looks more like a lizard eye.

Re: [Announce] Webcat Browser

Google's mobile site doesn't work, anyone else experiencing same issue?

Cool browser otherwise. And new icon looks awesome.

I like it as it is. The icon is very good for an application named Webcat, in my opinion.

Google.com working fine.
G+ also.
If you have problems try another user agent maybe. Google is a bitch when it comes to blocking out some browsers who don't tell them to be android or ios.

That is normal.
It is not possible to delete them currently. I need to take a look on how provide default bookmarks with the ability to delete them. It seems not as easy as it sounds ;)

Need a hint? ;)

Here is my version of the db.transaction() function you have in your db.js

Code:

db.transaction(function(tx){

                    tx.executeSql('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS settings(key TEXT UNIQUE, value TEXT)');

                    var table  = tx.executeSql("SELECT * FROM settings");

                    // Insert default values

                    if (table.rows.length === 0) {

                        tx.executeSql('INSERT INTO settings VALUES(?, ?)', ["region", qsTr("1")]);

                        tx.executeSql('INSERT INTO settings VALUES(?, ?)', ["forecastIndex", 0]);

                        tx.executeSql('INSERT INTO settings VALUES(?, ?)', ["hidePush", 1]);

                    };

                });

The following code is how it is done (in your case, replace 'settings' with 'bookmarks'). Default bookmarks are going to reappear only if the bookmark database is empty.

Code:

var table  = tx.executeSql("SELECT * FROM settings");

if (table.rows.length === 0) {

...

}

It is convenient to load the bookmarks on the first run as well as the settings (I see that your 'default settings' loading is a bit different, but I see this as a more elegant way).

In case of settings, I just put following code in the main qml file:

Code:

function getSetting(key) {

            openDB();

            var res = "";

            db.transaction(function(tx) {

                var rs = tx.executeSql('SELECT value FROM settings WHERE key=?;', [key]);

                res = rs.rows.item(0).value;

            });

            return res;



        Component.onCompleted: {

            region = getSetting('region');

            forecastIndex = getSetting('forecastIndex');

            hidePush = getSetting('hidePush');

        }

I hope this helps :)

I really need to open source my app as soon as I have time to do it - this code posting is tiring :)

Re: [Announce] Webcat Browser

Thanks that looks very interesting. I will take a look at it when I have time next week.
