Forum: General

MonkeeSage, I don't see how that's better than a search macro, in fact it's worse since it reduces the size of the URL bar. Mozilla's bookmark keywords/custom keywords would be a better solution where you can enter something like "g k-meleon" in the URL bar and it does a Google search. It works similar to the way the search macros do but it's a bookmark with a

I'm guessing you would need the exec parameters NORMAL, MIN, MAX, WAIT, MIN_WAIT, MAX_WAIT.
Forum: General

Here's a thought, maybe the exec function should be changed to take a specification parameter - exec(parm, command); where parm could be NORMAL, MIN, WAIT - basically sort of like the start command parameters.
Forum: General

I have noticed a few issues with the exec function: - It always opens a window, there should be an execmin function for cases where you do not want a window to appear. - It does not wait for completion of the command before continuing macro execution. For example in the following macro, I will usually get a file not found error if history.htm did not exist prior to running the macro: view_hist
Forum: General

I find the idea of a separate plugin for the URL bar troubling. The URL bar is an intergral part of the browser and should not be externalized. It would be nice if there was option URL autocompletion and possibly Mozilla bookmark keywords and custom keywords but these features shouldn't require a special URL bar plugin. Would the existence of such a plugin mean there was no URL bar without i

That's interesting, has anyone done any tests to see if CSS ad filtering is faster than proxy ad filtering (AdSubtract, Proxomitron) ? The only thing with the CSS method is that you have to list sites twice (a href, iframe src) to catch everything and someone would have to build up a database of stupid ad sites. Also are there any other HTML constructs which would need to be checked for filt
Forum: General

Out of technical curiosity, does the CSS trick block the transfer of ads or just their being displayed ? I'm guessing it just stops the display and if so then that's not as good as an ad filtering proxy program or a hosts file which prevents the ads from being fetched from the server and thereby speeding up browsing.
Forum: General

A few sites use same source ads specifically to beat hosts files. I know zdnet did this at one time, I don't know if they still do. Pop-ups/unders are done via Javascript, look into the policies to restrict Javascript - http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/ConfigPolicy.html As for cookies, go into prefs->privacy and select accept site cookies, that will help.

Forum: General

One problem with a hosts file is that you can't block ads which come from the same site that you're viewing. As for shockwave, why not remove that altogether ? It isn't very useful. I also recommend removing Java, it's a potential security hole and Java applets are generally slow.

Andrew, I know editing is new to Mozilla 1.3, I'm referring to the fact that the configs don't appear at all in K-Meleon with Mozilla 1.2b or 1.2 final.
Forum: General

MonkeeSage, Are you installing any Mozilla DLLs which don't already exist in K-Meleon ? When I had Mozilla 1.2 final on my system about:config worked fine there. I assume it a xul issue because the about urls are generally translated to chrome urls which access files from embed.jar though about:cache must be handled internally. about: = about.xhtml about:plugins = plugins.html about:confi
Forum: General

MonkeeSage, You can use whatever compiler optimizations you like that wasn't the problem. The problem was that literal strings (specifically "\0target=_new") are being placed in the same page as the code which is a read-only page so an attempt to directly modify it will cause an exception. By declaring the pointer as a local variable, it's allocated on the stack and the strin
Forum: General

MonkeeSage, Did about:config work for you before ? This has never worked for me in K-Meleon using Mozilla 1.2b or 1.2 final. I only get the header line and a blank screen. My assumption is it has something to do with evil xul since about: and about:plugins work fine and they use normal HTML and Javascript. Also did you know that the developers want to streamline embed.jar and try to get rid of a

MonkeeSage, The version you have up now works fine. Since I'm not a win32 programmer there's nothing I can do about the window appearing which is kind of annoying. Maybe the devs can add execmin or something to exec programs minimized ?

MonkeeSage, How are you compiling convhist ? Whenever I exec it, a DOS window is opened and closed briefly even though it is a win32 PE executable. Also why is there bitmapped graphics data in the exe ? Since it's just a converter program it shouldn't need any graphics resources.

I would recommend using a program like AdSubtract or Proxomitron to block ads. I've used AdSubtract SE for several years now and almost never see a stupid banner ad. Also use policies to restrict Javascript to sites that you know must have enabled in order to work and that will get rid of the pop-up/pop-under ads. AdSubtract SE is free, AdSubtract Pro which does more is not but isn't r

An exception is generated with the -new option due to the compiler's placement of constants in a read-only page so I had to modify the program so that the string "\0target=_new" is copied to a local variable allocated on stack. #include <malloc.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <time.h> typedef struct { time_t

An update, I added a -new option that will create links that open in a new window via target=_new so the syntax is now: convhist [-new] #include <malloc.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <time.h> typedef struct { time_t timeval; char *ptr; } sort; void err(char *, char *); int sortsub(sort *, sort *); char *target=&qu

To play a .wav file you should be able to exec("start filename.wav"); - the start command will use whatever program is setup to play wave files on your system via associations.

MonkeeSage, I thought about trying to use qsort but it's a lot more effort. You have to get the file size, malloc a buffer for it, read the entire file into the buffer, count the number of lines, malloc another buffer for sorting structures (int timeval, char *bufptr), go through the lines and fill the sorting buffer, sort the buffer, go through the sorting buffer and output lines (that
