Re: OWB improvement ideas

I don't know if we've done it before, but maybe if we ask Joerg for some extra functionality and he agreed for a price, we might be able to open a bounty? I suppose, main things are:

- Download manager
- HTML5 video
- Some way for OWB to accept a flash plugin as, I think, there's a problem with it right now?

anything else?

What do you think? After all, Joerg has kindly made and improved OWB so far for no money, so, maybe, getting him some cash for the extra functionality we need, will be a good motivation.

Mmm and how about setup a bounty for the MUI version instead ?

Is it worth it? I mean, sure MUI has some cool features et all, but - at the end of the day - is that what we really miss from OS4 OWB? I'm not against it, I just don't think it's overly important compared to needed browser functionality features. Maybe asking for a MUI version is overcomplicated too as that would negate much of the work already done for OS4 OWB. I'm not an expert programmer, but I think that we either ask for extra OWB functionality or we ask FAB for MOS OWB sources and try to port it over to OS4+MUI 3.9, which seems quite a longer route to walk. I could be wrong though.

Well a lot of things I would say: a password/cookie manager, a download manager with a lot of options, fast links, content blocking, session support, Plugin support, Configurable menus, HTML video support, window modes for popups and so so on ...

Source is already availible at: http://fabportnawak.free.fr/owb/src/

Also porting a MUI version doesn't mean that we must "trash" the Joerg's release, we can always continue to use/update both release, where is the problem ?

no problem at all, I just thought that this way we'd be duplicating efforts and maybe it'd be easier/faster to improve what we already have, but I'm not against your idea either. So, what do you ppl think should we start a bounty for either porting Fab's OWB or Improving Joerg's? Eiher one's fine by me.

I didn't see that as a duplicate efforts cause right now they are very different as a program, only the WebKit core are in common, but what we can say if (for example) someone port Google Chrome on OS4 ?

Seriously, I really have no objection against your idea, I just thought it'd be easier to improve what we had. Hopefully we won't need to bother with any of these if Timberwolf comes out and has all the proper features. So, we may set a bounty to port Fab's OWB, no problem.

i think too that a MUI version of OWB would be better.. in this way MOS version and OS4 version could go on together ( even if some parts have to be adapted for MUI 3.9)..

IMHO...
The better thing to do was a cooperation between MOS/ASO/MOS programmers to do a single OWB version for all...
Was the easyest bettter simpler way to have a good and well supported program...
But here cooperation was a "bad" word unfortunately... :(
And...speakinghere of that was pointless since that forum was read almost only from OS4 users...

Agree but now it's too late to do so, OWB on OS4 use ReAction, on MorphOS they are using MUI so it's pointless too ...

With Timberwolf on the horizon, I'm not too concerned if OWB on OS4 doesnt manage to get the download manager and Flash features we all want.. not because I dont like OWB (I do, I use it every day), but because we'll have another option that will give us our needed features.

Ideally OWB would get these features, Timberwolf will be finished, and we'll have choices. Choice is very good.

That should be very easy to add, once a download manager exists.

I meant, would it be something easy to add while we're waiting for a download manager.
