My wish: To be able to save just the HTML file
Hi, My wish for Netsurf developers is a simple one: To be able to save just the HTML file of a web page with link references intact. Currently, Netsurf always saves the whole web page, i.e. the HTML file with links changed to point to the associated files saved into a directory automatically created for them. I imagine it would be relatively easy to enable saving just the HTML page, yet it currently can't be done ... or if it can be done, please let me know. Thanks for considering it! Vesa

You did not specify which toolkit you are using. In RISCOS you can just use the menu or F3 to save the page source. With GTK you simply have to use Tools->Developer->Page Source (Ctrl+U) and then save the file from there. Other frontends depend upon their native implementations and I do not know the specifics. Perhaps we need to take a look at the user guide again it does seem to be a little out of date in places. > > Thanks for considering it! > > Vesa > > -- Regards Vincent http://www.kyllikki.org/

My wish: To have remote LogMeIn as is available in MS-DOS
I am not a very knowledgeable computer user and I rely fairly heavily on my computer guru, who was a RISCOS enthusiast but who has defected to MS-Dos for the usual reasons. I like RISCOS for reasons both good and bad; I dislike the way MS-Dos is open to "help" more plainly called "parasitism" but maybe any big pot attracts blowflies. I do a lot of writing and I like the way Select and Adjust allow you to mark the start, and separately the finish of a section of text. But my guru wants to shift me over to MS-Dos because it would make his life easier. So, I would like a RISCOS equivalent of LogMeIn Michael Bell -- --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com

Oh yes, by viewing page source and then saving. Thanks for the hint! Yeah, no changes needed. And in case someone is still curious, my platform is Linux. :-) Vesa 20.09.2014, 16:20, Richard Torrens (lists) kirjoitti: In article <541d749f.2040...@fastmail.fm>, Vesa Paatero wrote: Hi, My wish for Netsurf developers is a simple one: To be able to save just the HTML file of a web page with link references intact.

Why is NetSurf so fussy?
One really annoying feature of NetSurf (RO front end) is that it won't let you paste text from an html file into the URL field. This is something I regularly want to do when, for example, there's a bit of Javascript that redirects me to a different page. I have to view the source and then change the filetype to Text before copying the new URL to the clipboard. This shouldn't be necessary. I should be able to past plain text copied from any file type (could be html, css, csv, ImpDoc, MSWord, etc.) into the URL field or "Open URL" window. I think I raised this as a feature request a long time ago. -- Richard Porterhttp://www.minijem.plus.com/ Skype: minijem2 mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.

It _isn't_ necessary, when using StongED to view the HTML source. Press f8 to view the source, select the URL, press ctrl-shft-c to copy it to the clipboard, click in the NS URL field (or Open URL window), press ctrl-v to paste the URL. Perhaps I've misunderstood the problem? Tony
