[autopatch] Browser Multi-Patch

hmagoo · 07:07 AM

A patch has been added in the autopatch feed available via preware or WebOS Quick Install to enhance the browser. This adds a URL entry field in landscape mode, and also navigational shortcuts. It also adds the option to download or stream streamable files.

Quote:

ADDED THESE FUNCTIONALITIES TO THE BROWSER -drnull & drPodder development

* Backspace=top of page
* Enter=bottom of page
* Shift = page up
* Space = page down
* Period = scroll down a line (50 pixels technically).

reference thread, thanks Fritos!!
Simple HOWto: Download In Browser

I believe Jason Robitaille edited the patch and uploaded it for use in webOS 1.2.x

I had version 0.4.0 which worked fine. This morning, removing it worked fine, but installing 0.4.2 is now giving me an error [4]

JohnnyPre · 10/04/2009, 09:06 AM

I found that its always better to remove all patches, luna restart, and reinstall all patches ( no themes ) and then luna restart again. Afterwards do your theme (if any).

hope this helps... Always solves my error 4's...

oh and always uuse the emergency patch removal.

I tried the patch on both 1.2 and 1.2.1 and it doesnt work for me

un_designer · 10/04/2009, 10:02 AM

i just ran the emergency repair patch to restore everything. reinstalling the "Browser Multipatch" still gives an error [4]

odontastic · 10/04/2009, 10:08 AM

The shift navigational shortcut to go a page up is not working for me. Everything else works fine. I'm using 1.2.1. Thanks for a nice patch!

Jason Robitaille · 10/04/2009, 10:15 AM

The browser patch creates 2 files. The removal script doesn't delete them on removal, which can cause issues trying to install updated version.

For a makeshift solution, see http://forums.precentral.net/homebre...ml#post1946548

I feel I must point out, v0.4.0 was severely bugged and would prevent streaming media

fritos1406 · 10/04/2009, 11:39 AM

works just as its suppose to

great work on this jason

thx for the info. i followed the instructions on that post and removed both of those file, then rebooted the pre (complete reboot, not just the luna reboot). i'm still unable to install the Browser Multi-Patch via preware. it's still showing an error [4]

attached is the error message that i see when trying to install it with WebOS Quick Install v2.7. it's the same error message i see when installing with preware as well.

is there anything else i can/should do to get this working?

hmagoo · 10/04/2009, 12:05 PM

looks to me like the files are there.

un_designer · 12:39 PM

which means that my attempt to delete the two files jason mentioned in his post did not work. i'm going to try deleting those two files again and see if it makes a difference.

UPDATE: nope

same exact error message. idk what else to try...

UPDATE #2: so i just used Internalz and see that both files are still there. so it looks like WebOS Quick Install v2.7 was not able to delete those 2 files after all.

/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.browser/app/controllers/downloaddialog-assistant.js

/usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.browser/app/views/download/download-stream-popup.html

UPDATE #3: so the next thing i tried was to go into the terminal app on the pre to manually remove those files. i got the same message for both of the files above:

Cannot remove 'name of file' : read-only filesystem

Bujin · 10/04/2009, 01:06 PM

The patch works fine for me, except that the Shift Key doesn't page up. Are we still supposed to have the "stream / download" option when we click streaming media, or does this mean that those files were not deleted?

egaudet · 10/04/2009, 01:08 PM

Sorry guys, forgot to remove created files in EPR. Version 1.1.4 correctly removes those files that were created by a patch.

un_designer · 10/04/2009, 01:21 PM

will you be releasing 1.1.4 today, or tomorrow? so i don't keep reloading preware

negative :\ it looks like those two files refuses to be deleted. after running the EPR 1.1.4, rebooting, and reinstalling this patch, i am seeing the exact same error in the IPKG Log, as before.

after running the faulty EPR, the files were recovered by an empty backup file (instead of deleted which is the bug). If you are in this case you have to manually delete the files. You can use the terminal app and type the following:

Code:

mount -o rw,remount /
rm -f <file>
rm -f <file>
...
mount -o ro,remount /
