Otter Browser Forum / Not responding while page buildup
Since a few weeks I experience a kind of "not responding time" while a certain page is being built. During this time (10 secs?) Otter is completely unresponsive (no amount of clicking anywhere does anything). After this the page shows up (being an empty tab before) and Otter behaves normally again. This whole thing did not happen before and in my particular case this could for me be a show stopper.

Actually I do not think that it has something to do with Otter, but on the other hand, maybe it is connected with the change of Qt. (Or it is some change in the page itself, although no other browser shows this behavior. I am really not sure.)

I am under Win7 (happens on both 32 and 64 bit Windows) and I currently use the latest 32 bit RC in a portable mode. Could you people please be so kind to test if you experience this under the same and also different OSes? The link is:

Thanks a lot!

Otter Browser Forum / Copy action keyboard shortcuts
I am going to reformulate my findings about Copy action keyboard shortcuts, which I mentioned previously elsewhere (https://github.com/OtterBrowser/otter-browser/issues/1411), since they still seem to be valid:

Only the last shortcut in the list (for the Copy action) seems to work. Windows users, being mostly used to Ctrl+Ins, apparently have to remove all Copy action keyboard shortcuts but this one, in order to make it work.

Also, when saving the keyboard shortcut definitions, it seems that only the last shortcut for the Copy action will be saved.

This applies also to RC1. Tested under Win 7, 64bit. Interestingly enough, it seems that only the keyboard shortcuts for the Copy action are involved. Other actions do not seem to suffer.

Otter Browser Forum / Reusing tab only sometimes? Deleting local storage?
Question 1:

I have "Open new windows in tabs instead" checked and "Reuse current tab" NOT checked. This is good when some word(s) in a page are selected and one makes a search with a right click - the page with the search results opens in a new tab, which is what I want. However, when I am on some page and click "Go to Home Page" icon, I would prefer to reuse the currently active tab for my home page, instead of opening the home page in a new tab. (I am aware that many people would probably not like it that way.) Is this maybe still possible to achieve somehow?

Question 2:

Is there any option that would make the content of the folder .\cache\localStorage\ be deleted at the end of a session? I have "Clear history when application closes" and all its detail settings checked.

Thanks!

Using 0.9.91 weekly 173, legacy WebKit 538.1, on WinXP, portable configuration. I can confirm the following:


Every week I fall more and more in love with Otter.

Otter Browser Forum / [Weekly 172] Observations and problems
Using 0.9.91 weekly 172, legacy WebKit 538.1, on WinXP.

  • Clear history on exit: Working great (and maybe faster then clear history previously did?). Thanks!
  • Go to HomePage button still not working at my place (no matter where positioned). Can someone please confirm this? Using Alt-H instead, which works.
  • Checking/Unchacking user script: Session has to be restarted in order for a change to be activated. (This was so in previous versions too.)
  • Action handling redo still in progress, so nothing new to report here.

Otter Browser Forum / Clear history when application closes?
    I am using the weekly 170 for WinXP (legacy QtWebkit) in the portable mode and have the following issues:

    • The visited links seem not to change color when in private mode. Maybe it is the Webkit, or maybe something could be done about it.
    • When not in private mode and the following options are checked: "Remember browsing history" and "Clear history when application closes" (and also "Clear browsing history" for the last "6666 h" in Clear history options), I still see the previous history after restarting Otter. This looks as a bug to me.

    On this occasion a three tiny wishes:

    • Could perhaps the options dialog retain its current tab between invocations during the same session?
    • Could perhaps an option exist which, when checked, would mean that each new tab (when explicitly created) would open with a home page? This was not a possibility of Opera 12.18, but I find it very useful for those who, like me, have the bookmarks actually in the local home page, in order to be browser independent. (It is a feature of the K-Meleon.)
    • Could perhaps - besides the existing tab popup menu item "Clear Other Tabs" - the following two menu items exist: "Clear Left Tabs" and "Clear Right Tabs"?


Thanks and best wishes!
