Google won't load

Anonymous — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 09:37:15 -0000

Version 0.2.5: Google link don't work, i have disabled all filters in the config menu, all external list with inside items commented, the only possibility to load google was to desactivate the text filter.
Other site have the same problem, if all filters are off, i need to desactivate the text filter box.

This software is EXTRA, continue to developp it, for instance, i have replaced proximodo by proxomitron util proximodo give me the same.
Proximodo is better in filtering, but have any 'petits' bugs.
Thank you for your nice work

Proximod 0.2.5 :

At the start, when we look in the task-manager list,
proximodo.exe takes 5.3Mb .
After some surfing, it takes 25Mb or more...

Window appears off-screen

David Spencer — Mon, 05 Sep 2005 09:38:19 -0000

Whenever I double-click the system tray icon the main
window appears off screen.

Window can be returned to the screen by maximising it,
selecting Config, then closing it. Then the window
position settings are sensible and the window appears
correctly on-screen.

To reproduce - maximise the window, then Quit. Next
time you start Proximodo, the window will appear, but
will be miles off-screen.

(How can it appear off screen? The taskbar button
appears, and Alt-Space displays the system menu in a
corner indicating the window is "visible" although not
located on the screen. It is also active; everything
works, but you can't see what's happening.)

I've seen this bug in some of my own projects. It
happens when you try to remember the window size and
position, but fail to take account of the maximising -
which also sends screen size and position values to the
message loop, but not ones that you should try to
store. What you need to store is the size and position
only if not maximised, and whether or not the window
was maximised, then you can restore it to however the
user had it before, including the size and position
when it is de-maximised. It also helps to check size
and position against the current screen dimensions when
restoring the screen to make sure the settings aren't
too silly and try to make sure that at least part of
the window is visible (although this then potentially
creates a bug for people with multiple desktops where
you might want some windows to remember off-screen
positions, although it might be reasonable to assume
that doesn't apply to Proximodo).

wxWidgets giving conversion trouble.

lhunath — Wed, 25 May 2005 20:56:27 -0000

I believe you have some conversions to fix;
For instance:
controls.h:173: error: invalid conversion from `const wxChar*' to
`char'
or
controls.h:174: error: conversion from `const char*' to `wxString' is
ambiguous
/usr/include/wx/string.h:306: note: candidates are: wxString::
wxString(wxChar, size_t) <near match>
/usr/include/wx/string.h:284: note: wxString::
wxString(int) <near match>

Those are the main ones. Repeated a few dozen times. I have
wxGTK 2.6.0 installed. I tried the previous release as well (wxGTK
2.4.2, although that one isn't supported as you said).
Ps./ I suggest you change this:
# Replace the value below with the output of wx-config --cxxflags
WXINC_REL = -I/usr/local/lib/wx/include/gtk2-ansi-release-2.5 -I/
usr/local/include/wx-2.5 -DGTK_NO_CHECK_CASTS -
D__WXGTK__ -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES -
DWX_PRECOMP -DNO_GCC_PRAGMA
into this:
WXINC_REL = `wx-config --cxxflags`
Portability, ease of use, no need for everybody to go changing your
Makefile, and it all works without any sort of trouble. (Except for
what I'm witnessing, of course).

0.21 build installs on Windows 98 but doesn't work.

Tom Oehser — Fri, 15 Apr 2005 11:57:03 -0000

The .EXE installer installs fine on Windows-98, and the
GUI runs, but it hangs when trying to proxy any
requests, it does the filters on the request, and the log
window logs the request headers, but then it just hangs,
nothing ever comes back.

Proxy authentication missing

Cristian Ghezzi — Thu, 17 Mar 2005 16:21:25 -0000

Proxy authentication is missing: you can't use a proxy
that requires username and password (proxomitron
does it)

Yahoo URL links nonfunctional

Anonymous — Wed, 09 Mar 2005 21:58:19 -0000

Clicking many of the links off of Yahoo's main page
(such as Mail or Shopping) when in FireFox 1.0.1 and
using Proximodo just hang. Even if Proximodo filter is
set to none, the links do not work.

Fails to open browser

Dave Lerner — Wed, 26 Jan 2005 09:05:16 -0000

This may or may not be related to
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1070512&group_id=124035&atid=698296

[0.2.1 on linux]

Proximodo doesn't open the browser initially or for
viewing help files. I traced this to
util.cpp/CUtil::openBrowser; wxFileType::GetOpenCommand
returns false.

pathString is correct:
/home/dave/proximodo/src/distrib/help/en/f_syntax.html

The wxFileType components all look reasonable:
wxFileType::GetDescription = HTML Document
wxFileType::GetMimeTypes = text/html
wxFileType::GetExtensions = shtml htm HTML html HTML
htm HTM shtml

wxFileType::GetOpenCommand is in
wxWidgets-2.5.3/src/common/mimecmn.cpp, but I couldn't
figure out how that code works.

Settings window - windows vs. linux

Dave Lerner — Sun, 23 Jan 2005 20:18:32 -0000

On linux, some of the items in the Settings window are
hard to use because of their size and/or the font size.

Screenshots attached.

Can't restore window

Dave Lerner — Sat, 22 Jan 2005 18:47:16 -0000

[0.2.1, linux]

After minimizing the Proximodo window (to the settings
area, or whatever it's called in KDE), I can't restore
the window. If I double-click on the icon, the window
flashes up briefly, with its elements outlined (no
details), and then the window closes.
