QTweb
« on: March 28, 2012, 06:35:59 PM »
Hello

In the near future it would be good for me to have qtweb in my library

How easy is it to make an extension of the type  "scm" of an existing Linux application.

.......Or to make a regular .tcz extension of QTweb  (web browser)

Where is the page of instructions on how to make extensions (.tcz)

thanks

V.

Making extensions is as hard as reading and typing.

since you are using it often, you are welcome to maintain it if you would like.

cheerio,

wow

you made it for me?

that is amazingly kind......i am so very very grateful.

QTweb has been on and off my desktop for 8 years...it's like embedded itseld
to me as a lovely lightweight browser with good performance...

ok, it does not have html 5....or anything of that nature...but it seems to perform
very well on old hardware....

that is SO kind of you...thankyou ever so much indeed.

i am downloading it now. i will Put it into local.

i will also take a look at making .tcz

you see, recently i have used "Opera next" and it's lovely...but even opera
does not get the performance status of QTweb on older hardware.

thanks a lot

V.

hello...sorry but it seems that Qtweb.tcz won't work. It was a normal install from the app store
"onboot" but no icon or menu entry appears. Tried to start it from a terminal but nothing happened.
It is a clean "base" boot of TCL 4.3.1 with OSS sound installed first

any help would be appreciated.

Hi cast-fish
The files tab in AppBrowser shows no icon file or install script.

Nothing happened, or File not found?

If you are using the boot code  base , the extension won't be available.
Try starting it by entering  QtWeb

Hello

well as expected here, the "QtWeb" internet browser is working great.

As expected, this browser is giving my hardware "the edge" and everything is that much quiker.

See, it's a very old laptop...about 2002 and the bios is around that year...2001....but QtWeb seems
to have brought back that little bit of extra speed and "performance boost" on very old hardware.

i am not saying that this would be the case for everybody...on all types of old hardware...this specific
laptop is a bit of a dog..Compaq Presario 700.

ye

thanyou very much
