Web applications / Re: Dooble releases, Qt5 builds

« Last post by Remy on Today at 01:17:34 am »

I wonder why passing an NSPR4 argument has an effect on Dooble? It is an OS/2 thing and as far as I remember only the environment variable has an effect.
Dooble --help 2> dooble.hlp gives this for the list of dooble specific arguments,

Code: [Select]

Dooble
 --attach
 --disable-javascript
 --executable-current-url PROGRAM
 --full-screen
 --help
 --listen
 --load-url URL
 --normal-screen
 --private
 --reload-periodically 15, 30, 45, 60
 --test-aes
 --test-aes-performance
 --test-threefish
 --test-threefish-performance

Chome has a huge list of arguments, which I assume the Qtwebengine also has, see https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/
They can usually passed in the environment set QTWEBENGINE_FLAGS=

What do you think about:

I quoted the documentation, which said FTP was supported. And yes I'd expect an error of some type about an unsupported protocol.

Hi Paul,

It looks like disabling hires timer makes QTwebengine more stable.
Could it be possible a problem exist into C++ about hires timer ?  (under windows, they had to increase precision)

Thanks and Regards
Rémy

Hi Dave !

The test you can try:
Start Dooble, open this os2world web page and then clic on above FTP link ...
Always start my default browser firefox.

That is weird. Here it opened a new window in SeaMonkey, my default browser, which was running. Tried the ftp://ftp.os2voice.org/dooble/ link too, opened a new window in SM with the request for password. Very strange bug or I guess feature especially with ftp kind of broken in the web engine.
Tried with the simplebrowser, as expected the Qt5 one failed, the Qt6 one worked the same as dooble

I found some information about FTP no more supported under Chrome since 88... like current firefox windows 64 no more supporting it.
Is it the case for Dooble ? If yes and at least, I expect a popup menu to select external ftp compatible program to use and route the link to it 

Regards

That's strange and doesn't happen here. Looking at the documentation, we have,

Code: [Select]

Supported Schemes
Dooble supports the FILE, FTP, GOPHER, HTTP(S), and JAR schemes.
So Dooble should open the FTP//: links.

I tried again:
Firefox is closed

Start Dooble (QT6)
put link ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/Major/ + enter
The page goes blank !
Waiting a few more seconds, firefox is starting showing files from ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/Major/ !
It looks like Dooble is opening ftp link but not into its browser nor into a new tab and cmd is resolved as system browser to open

Have your default ArcaOS set to firefox and firefox not started
then, start Dooble and give a try to the link

Doing a test starting Dooble with the link provides a different result (blank page and nothing more):
Dooble ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/Major/

Applications / Re: Thunderbird - SM email makes system trap in Warp 4.52 but ok in Arcaos5

« Last post by Dariusz Piatkowski on January 19, 2025, 09:42:29 pm »

mauro,

...Dariusz, not understood what you're asking me to do: having both FF and TB installed and then what action...?

OK, in your original post you stated:

...recently discovered that now the email client of Seamonkey -assuming same as Thunderbird-, cause a system trap when calling the "email client" window from Seamonkey (no problem if I start a new message compose)...

I interpret that to mean:

1) you are in web page (browsing) where there is an email link
2) you click on that link and expect that the email client window would pop up, thus allowing you to create an email
3) instead of this outcome you experience a trap/failure

Is that correct?

Subsequently in your post I was responding to you stated:

...I have installed Thunderbird 45.8 pentium4 to see what happens...

...and I was commenting on the fact that I have FF & TB here, which have been pretty solid for me, so I could certainly try to reproduce your scenario, and if I fail to, we could try to chase the DLLs down given that I am on CP2 release as opposed to AOS install.

Mauro, to remove the high memory thing from the dll's, highmem --unmark *dll

Hey Rémy!

 It works here too! Very unexpected - I have an ftp client (EmTec FTP) set as system ftp, but Firefox opens instead. I tried with QT5 Dooble and it did not work, but works with the QT6 one. Thanks for the --disable-highres-timer tip too. That seems to work here as well...

Regards,
