Please report bugs here or to the developers on #netsurf-develop on

Yes it is looking better all the time

So I will 8-)
I have a failing website. It is http://acorn.cybervillage.co.uk Netsurf will
crash on it (nice that you have a stacktrace now, if you need it I can send
it). The build is from 26 feb.
Another remark: WIMP messages ignored while formatting
If a page is formatting and I double click on a link (eg from bookmaker) the
page is not immediatly opened and the WIMP message is not ackknowledged. Thus
!Oregano is started and this will open the page. However as soon as !Netsurf
has finished the page it was formatting it starts loading the page that
was sent to it in a WIMP message.
And another one: Can't close window while formatting another one
If a page is formatting (yes again) and I want to close another Netsurf
window, this action is ignored. I have to wait until the formatting is ready
before I can close the other window.
And I found another one: Pictures in drawfile are scaled different
If you export a file as drawfile. The pictures seems to be scaled different
from the original.
Looking stronger and better every day!
Keep up the work, it is almost my prefered browser now.

Now fixed, I believe.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. The drawfile is created scaled
to the width of an A4 page. This means that all page content is scaled to
fit.

I have just retried it. The site news.bbc.co.uk looks good. I don't know
if
this was ok before I reported the buglet.
The site http://www.cnn.com however shows the mentioned problem. I use Select
4.37. I will send the zip file with the draw file directly to you.

Hopefully, this is now fixed...
As an aside, I'm fairly seriously considering binning the OS JPEG renderer
and using the libjpeg code for all JPEGs. Right now, the libjpeg code is
only used when the OS can't cope. The downside to this is that memory
usage will increase a small amount.

As a Select user I would like you to continue to use the OS renderer, but
maybe have a option in the choices window to select what to use like
Browse does.
Also would it be possible to set the quality of the images to be higher
when using the built in renderer in Select as you can with the built in
Select image viewer.

I was waiting for that response from someone ;)
It could well end up that we do be like Browse and have an option
selectable by the user. Part of the issue here is that the "old" (ie RO !=
Select) JPEG renderer is prone to mistakes. For example, we've seen a
number of cases where the OS believes it is able to cope with the image
when, in reality, it can't. Simply using libjpeg for everything would
bypass this.
Also would it be possible to set the quality of the images to be
higher
when using the built in renderer in Select as you can with the built in
Select image viewer.
If it's not possible to do this via the standard jpeg SWIs, then I doubt
it. It's annoying enough having to maintain code for two separate
renderers, let alone three.
Of course, I reserve the right to change my mind at a later date ;)

If the internal OS code is defective then I say drop it. You've got better
things to do with Netsurf. :-)
I too have found that the RISC OS jpeg render can't cope with some jpegs
I've found out there with my Campin utility. I informed RISCOS ltd but they
don't seem interested.

Thanks,
The images look now also fine in the drawfile.
A minor point is that you lose a bit from the righthand side and bottom
of the page. You mentioned before that you scale the page to A4 size, but
it seems this doesn't work 8-(.
thanks again and keep up the (good) work.

I don't appear to lose anything from the right hand side (admittedly the
value I used for the page with is a best-guess. I should probably work it
out properly ;). As to the bottom, it depends on the page length (as we
begin plotting at the top left of the page and plot downwards) I believe
Browse starts bottom left and plot upwards (it drawing the page bottom to
top)
You mentioned before that you scale the page to A4 size, but it seems
this doesn't work 8-(.
Sorry, I should have been more clear. It is rendered to a width of A4.
Height is able to extend beyond this. Some pages will end up wider than an
A4 side. This is because it's not actually possible to fit the page
contents in the width required.
John.
