Last time I tried this branch on RISC OS, the old RISC OS select menu didn't open and the core select widget didn't appear when using a select box on a web page. On RISC OS, the best thing to do is to use the existing select menu provided by the RISC OS front end. I think it's good to have an optional core-rendered select widget though, because it makes new ports easier to do. > 3.

I've been testing this and have found a few issues: + When deleting cookies (select a group of cookies and then Edit > delete), sometimes the cookies don't get deleted. E.g. keep dragging selections, and deleting, then when there are only a few left, they become quite stubborn and don't delete. Deleting individual cookies seems to work. + Sometimes it only shows one cookie for each domain. On the old RISC OS cookie viewer, I always have more than one for .google.co.uk -- PREF and NID -- but the new core cookie viewer normally only shows one. + Sometimes after you think a cookie is deleted, and you quit NetSurf, when you restart, the cookie reappears. + Lacks some keyboard shortcuts: <ctrl+x> to delete selection and <return> to launch selection. > 6.

All in all I am seeking your comments here > :) Adding sort and search features is a good idea. They've been on the feature request tracker for a long time. I'd use the core textarea for search. However, before new any new functionality is added, I'd like to get the core treeview / hotlist / history / cookie manager stuff merged to trunk. Before that can happen, the RISC OS front end needs to be fixed. What exactly needs to be changed to make the RISC OS front end use the core treeviews? > 7.

Again, I'd rather have existing functionality implemented in the core hotlist and merged to trunk before new stuff is added. Michael -- Michael Drake (tlsa) http://www.netsurf-browser.org/
