What I meant to say was that it also doesn't seem to be merging resources with the fallbacks -- if it finds the resource file at all it ignores all the fallbacks and you get a tiny little box with uninformative button names... - --tim ------- Message 4 Received: from hubert.CS.UNLV.EDU by JIMI.CS.UNLV.EDU id aa18250; 1 Aug 96 17:38 PDT To: Tim Bradshaw cc: Chimera doctors Subject: Re: 108 & resources & bookmarks In-reply-to: Your message of "Fri, 02 Aug 1996 00:18:02 BST." <10782.199608012318@subnode.aiai.ed.ac.uk> Date: Thu, 01 Aug 1996 17:37:59 -0700 From: John Kilburg >What I was trying to do was get bookmarks to work, but perhaps they >don't yet? The bookmark code is badly broken in 108. I recommend against using bookmarks in 108. It is demo only :) -john ------- Message 5 Received: from LV.Levels.UniSA.EDU.AU by JIMI.CS.UNLV.EDU id aa26403; 15 Aug 96 16:36 PDT Received: from lux.levels.unisa.edu.au (9308390r@lux.Levels.UniSA.Edu.Au) by Levels.UniSA.Edu.Au (PMDF V5.0-4 #16957) id <01I8C6MVPRJQ9JEWHM@Levels.UniSA.Edu.Au> for bug-chimera@cs.unlv.edu; Fri, 16 Aug 1996 09:05:47 +0930 Received: by lux.levels.unisa.edu.au (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) id JAA03170; Fri, 16 Aug 1996 09:05:45 +0930 Date: Fri, 16 Aug 1996 09:05:45 +0930 (GMT+9:30) From: 9308390r <9308390r@lux.levels.unisa.edu.au> Subject: Chimera - where To: bug-chimera@cs.unlv.edu Message-id: <199608152335.JAA03170@lux.levels.unisa.edu.au> X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] Content-type: text Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I ma inguiring where i may be able to download the latest version of chimera (esp the sourse code). also what are the latest bug fixes that i will need, to compile iot under linux? - -- **** **** * **** Operate at a higher level. * * * * * * * * * * * * Mr Antonino Iannella * * **** * * Computer Systems Engineering * * * * * * 9308390r@lux.levels.unisa.edu.au **** **** * ****** http://members.tripod.com/~antonino/index.html Would you fix your house if the windows need replacing?

This latest beta has some serious problems as I understand, I would suggest you wait for the next version which is supposed to be out last month, so I don't think you will wait too long :-) Anybody knows what is current status?

Its getting there. I'm using it for my browsing although there is a problem with the cache (it has been changed since the last release) that sometimes randomly chooses a cached document for inlines (Hmm a GIF with a chance to win $20,000 instead of a red ball. Just want I wanted.). The best is probably the 1.65 release at . The trouble is that I haven't used it in a year or so and I know it needs a patch but I don't remember what exactly is needed. -john ------- Message 8 Received: from mail.compulink.co.uk by JIMI.CS.UNLV.EDU id aa05514; 30 Aug 96 12:50 PDT Received: from mayday.compulink.co.uk (root@mayday.compulink.co.uk [194.153.8.241]) by mail.compulink.co.uk (8.6.12/8.6.12) with SMTP id UAA00630; Fri, 30 Aug 1996 20:50:39 +0100 Received: by mayday.compulink.co.uk (Smail3.1.29.1 #3) id m0uwZWr-0021qzC; Fri, 30 Aug 96 20:46 BST Date: Fri, 30 Aug 1996 20:46:37 +0100 (BST) From: Robert de Bath cc: John Kilburg , bug-chimera@cs.unlv.edu Subject: Re: 2.0-108 In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Alternate-address: rdebath@cix.compulink.co.uk MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Ah, well looks like I'm gonna stick with 106 for a while longer. I finally downloaded 108 and tried it. Compiled first time, no hassel picks up the resources just like 106. Unfortunatly the cache persist no longer seems to work correctly, it tries to write a cache index out at the end of the program but instead just writes the verbiage around it ie: Chimera Cache Index
So suddenly my huge cache is gone :-( BTW, I really like the agressive caching that both major versions of Chimera have had please don't even think of removing that. There is one other thing I've recently realised is happening to the caching in 106 too. If I run two (or more) independent copies they will break each other's attempts at managing the cache directory sometimes resulting in files with completely incorrect labels. I suppose the only way of fixing this is to ensure the index is _always_ uptodate and locked at the right times, this could get quite complex ... :-) - -- Rob.
