I did send a mail with the request to jolla, cause TJC wasn't open at this time yet. But as you pointed out, a similar request was posted on TJC. So everyone go vote for it

You should probably quote the su curl command in the 8582714 paste eg
su nemo -c "curl ... "
otherwise you could end up with an empty duckduckgo.xml and it will use bing anyway even if you choose ddg in browser settings.

i dont try this but it look so, that you put the line in a terminal and it will all do to get duckduckgo

cd /home/nemo/Downloads
(with this you change to directory "Downloads"

curl http://pastie.org/pastes/8582714/download > ddg.sh
(with this you download the information on pastie.org and save it to a file like ddg.sh)

chmod u+x ddg.sh
(with this you give rights to execute the ddg.sh file on your system)

devel-su
(this is needit to get root right on your phone, after this there will your password to login)

sh ddg.sh
(and the last... this will execute the file and install the information in your phone)

PS: dont kill me if i am wrong

You need to delete it as the nemo user with rm command giving full path as argument.

This should go in the downloaded file as I wrote.

ok thanks, i see that there is a backup from original brwoser.qml

i fix it so:

Code:

devel-su
cd /usr/share/jolla-settings/pages/browser
rm browser.qml
rm browser.qml.ddg
mv browser.qml.orginal browser.qml
rm /home/nemo/.mozilla/mozembed/searchplugins/duckduckgo.xml

FYI: Updated DuckDuckGo search plugin XML can be found here: https://duckduckgo.com/opensearch.xml
(it's the original source).

Just rename the file to duckduckgo.xml first to avoid any collisions.

Hi
I noticed that cargo can't see files named in RTL languages, for example hebrew.
Would be nice if creator will add this support and showing hidden files..
Thanks

EDIT: Oops, it can see rtl. Sorry, my mistake..

The browser.qml diff doesn't apply any more on 1.1.0.38. The ComboBox no longer has the names of the search engines hardcoded in the QML, now it seems to be getting them from org.sailfishos.browser.settings, any idea where that is defined?

Code:

            ComboBox {
                id: searchEngine

                width: parent.width
                //: Label for combobox that sets search engine used in browser
                //% "Search engine"
                label: qsTrId("settings_browser-la-search_engine")
                currentIndex: name2index(searchEngineConfig.value)

                menu: ContextMenu {
                    id: searchEngineMenu

                    Component {
                        id: menuItemComp

                        MenuItem {}
                    }

                    Component.onCompleted: {
                        var index = 0
                        settings.searchEngineList.forEach(function(name) {
                            var map = page._nameMap
                            // FIXME: _contentColumn should not be used to add items dynamicly
                            menuItemComp.createObject(searchEngineMenu._contentColumn, {"text": name})
                            map[name] = index
                            page._nameMap = map
                            index++
                        })
                    }
                }
