Smokey,

the configfile for the embedded bookmarks is:
/root/.EmbeddedBookmarks/channels2.txt

The bookmarks of Puppybrowser itself are:
/root/.PuppyBrowser/bookmarks.rc

I can't promise, when I find time to enhance the normal bookmarks to support categories, too.


Mark I deleted the embedded link and all is working again.

Thanks

(posted with Puppybrowser 0.5 on Puppy 4.21)

Browsed around with Puppybrowser 0.5 on Ppup476 tonight; it hung twice after playing some Youtube videos, say 5 or 6, but restarted normally after killing it.
Seem to remember this did happen with some older SeaMonkey version, can't say which; or maybe it still happens now? I rarely watch several Youtube vids, must try out.

Also: the default setting for password saving is "Yes", but IMHO "No" would be safer.

It's already my favorite browser anyway. Cool

A libgee pet is attached to the message, where you can download the browser.

I just run puppy browser the default install in 430-small and It has some bugs, 2 actually. First of all I used it in order to write an e-mail at hotmail.

The e-mail I wrote was in Greek and I had problems whenever I wanted to type an accent character. To explain it exactly in order to accent a letter in Greek I have to use the button next to "L" which in english gives the semistop ";" or ":". Whenever I was pressing it the cursor was just disappearing and had to tick with the mouse in the text box every time.

Second bug I found was that Greek letter "Σ" was looking as "Z". Both of them are in the alphabet but they are different. The strange is that the small "Σ" was looking as it suppose to be "σ". Also when pasting the text to geany "Σ" was looking perfect. So the encoding was correct but the look was wrong Confused

If you want any more details or anything to test tell me.

Mark, do you think it might be possible to get Simple Mail to work? That would then be moving toward a very lightweight browser/mail app.

Dave its a frontend like skipstone, you still need a working backend like seamonkey, and its not compatible with FF3 series or webkit yet, But hopefully in the future Smile So adding simplemail wouldn't save that much space over seamonkey mail.

I just discovered this browser in 4.3 final and watched quite a few youtube videos without any problem, unlike SeaMonkey, which closes sometimes apparently because Flash gets overloaded.

Is there any way to import bookmarks from SeaMonkey?

you can use this script, but might have to set the path to your seamonkey bookmarks first.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

######################################################
### convert seamonkey bookmarks for PuppyBrowser
######################################################
### enter here the path to your seamonkey bookmarks!

sb=/root/.mozilla/default/r3y1skkw.slt/bookmarks.html

#######################################################


outfile=/root/.PuppyBrowser/profiles/default/bookmarks.rc$$

touch $outfile

cat "$sb" | grep 'HREF=' |while read a;do


b=`echo $a  |sed -e "s#</A>##" -e "s#.*>##" -e "s/|/-/g"`

c=`echo $a  |sed -e "s#.*HREF=\"##" -e "s#\".*##"`

echo "$b|$c" >>$outfile

done

echo -----------------------------
echo created: $outfile
echo
echo Please rename it or add the contents to:
echo /root/.PuppyBrowser/profiles/default/bookmarks.rc


Save it as "/root/seamonkey2PB".
Then make it executable by typing:
chmod 755 /root/seamonkey2PB
Then run it by typing:
/root/seamonkey2PB

No, PuppyBrowser is a simple pure Gtk Application.
Simple Mail is a Firefox addon using the special firefox framework (XUL I think).
It is not possible to use extensions in PuppyBrowser, that's the price for the reduced, small backend.

thanks for your report!

PuppyBrowser is using a profile called "MU" from Seamonkey for the default settings.

You may test this, please:
run seamonkey.
When it starts, it should show the selection of a profile, "default" and "MU".
Choose "MU".
Then try if you can reproduce the errors there.
If yes, try to change language or font settings.
If that fixes your issue, exit and start PuppyBrowser.
Maybe it works correctly now.

Mark

Mark,

Bookmarks -> Manage Bookmarks -> Tools -> Export bookmarks creates an html file. Rather than trying to use the bookmarks in /root/.mozilla/ and so forth, it seems to me that it would be simpler to use that file. Also, I believe other browsers create the same sort of file to use for backing up and importing/exporting their bookmarks, so it would be a more general solution.

It doesn't ask me anything. Also I went to: tools --> Switch Profile, and has only the deafault one, no MU.

I'm using seamonkey and puppy browser which come with 430 small. I'll try to find the MU profile in the system and copy it to the profile folder of seamonkey and report back.

So maybe it was left out, when Barry repackaged it for Puppy 4.3.
I must check this in detail later.
You could start seamonkey, and then create a new profile "MU".
Tools - switch profile - manage profiles - create profile.

I had used this e.g. to modify the
preferences - appearance - fonts.
There I had replaced all fonts with "Deja vu Sans", so instead of serife fonts you see sans-serif, what I prefer on a monitor.
Modifying the font settings you quickly can verify, that PuppyBrowser really is using that profile from seamonkey.
