displaying PDF files
by rickman＠argonet.co.uk
Is it possible to get NetSurf to launch a PDF reader to display a PDF
file instead of having to download it.

!Run always open
by Mike Hobbs
This has been bugging me for a while but its very minor...
!NetSurf.!Run is always open whilst running NS. This means
my backup (to propagate new versions to another machine via
USB memory) complains.
I know the reason is the NS-specific font removal obey
commands for when NS exits. I just wondered if there might
be a better way of doing this that doesn't leave the file
open? I currently edit !Run every time I update NS.

Well, that was what was puzzling me - I couldn't very well see how a new
version of NetSurf could be expected to add items to its users' hotlists
automatically (unless the first few items were hardwired into the code
to be inserted at the top of the user-defined data I suppose).
I assume the format of my hotlist dates back to whenever I first started
using the program, which would be years ago now - I'd have thought this
was the one set of user-defined choices for any program which was almost
guaranteed not to be in its factory-default state! Having said that,
oddly enough it never occurred to me to add the bug tracker address to
the hotlist, as I've always accessed it via the link in the
documentation... now done.

Inventory file
by Harriet Bazley
When did the Inventory file start getting saved *outside* a NetSurf
'full save' application - and why? (I find it a complete nuisance
having these files splattered around my hard disc separate from the
applications to which they refer, and keep moving them back inside to
keep everything together.)

Just to clarify - my NetSurf hotlist has two sub-entries under the
heading "NetSurf", one of which reads "NetSurf homepage" and the other
reading "NetSurf test builds". Neither of these leads to a Web page
containing a link reading "NetSurf bug tracker".
Presumably we're still supposed to be using the page pointed to via
'Contact the developers' in <NetSurf$Dir>.Docs.welcome.index_en, i.e.
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=browse&group_id=51719&atid=464312
Or has this, as comments further down this thread suggest, been
superseded by some other bug tracker - the Sourceforge one doesn't seem
to sport a 'Groups' pulldown menu, for instance - and if so, what is the
address of the new one, and are we supposed to have added it to our
respective hotlists at some point?

NetSurf and Midlands Show Kenilworth
by rickman＠argonet.co.uk
Will there be a NetSurf stand at the Midlands Midsummer Mugshow this
year?
I have written to two different NetSurf related email addreses to try
to discover if the NetSurf team intend to have a table at this year's
show, but have had no reply.
Could someone please write to me or answer on this forum?
The show is very close now - 10th July. Full details are on the
website:- http://mug.riscos.org/show10/index.htm

star-command to fetch a web page
by Jim Nagel
does there exist a command i can put in an obeyfile or type in a
taskwindow that would tell the browser to fetch a certain web page?
(and launch the browser if it's not already running?)
e.g. *heyfetch <text string>
i'm trying to set up a Keystroke to do this from a selected bit in a
textfile. *wget is on the right line but of course fetches the stuff
only as text in a taskwindow.

file:/// is now wrong
by Roger Darlington
In Netsurf, version r8643, the following code, in a MessPro e-mail,
works fine on my computer (accessing a local file):
file:///ADFS::IYO4.$.~Mine.WFF.!WildFlowers.Flowers.Y/YellowStagsho
rn/YellowStagshorn.htm
But on subsequent versions of Netsurf, including r10589, it does not
work. It gives 'file not found' a message issued by Netsurf.
The file it is looking for is:
/ADFS::IYO4.$.~Mine.WFF.!WildFlowers.Flowers.Y/YellowStagshorn/Yell
owStagshorn.htm
Note the leading '/'. This is where it is going wrong. It wont find
the file because of this leading '/'.
But if I omit one of the '/'s in the line in the e-mail thus:
file://ADFS::IYO4.$.~Mine.WFF.!WildFlowers.Flowers.Y/YellowStagshor
n/YellowStagshorn.htm
It still doesn't work.
I'm not surprised about the last bit of code, it is wrong, but the
first bit should work, it worked before.
