Bugs
1.2.2
Sometimes continues trying to launch Camino after encountering an error which should terminate the launching process.fixed in Mar 2007 1.2.2 beta
Feature Requests
1.2.2
- possibility to start with about:blank
- Probably the way to implement this is to read a preferred homepage from a user defaults key, then echo it into the profiledir's user.js before launching Camino; this should approximate what Tinderboxen and test harnesses do to launch apps
If the last-ordered pref's value is not in quotes, the parsing code barfs right now- Sometimes we fail with "profile folder already exists", which seems to be really bad luck with random not being random :/ Did this change appreciably in the dev version?
- I'm seeing this again on 10.3.9; the last time I looked, the diff was insignificant
- Maybe in a failure case, that value is getting saved internally?
- rnd itself gets cleared before being populated on each run, and the profile path is constructed by calling rnd, not by calling some other var that might be saved
- This (seems) to go away when I re-save on 10.3.9
- If there is only one pref, the dict is a single line on 10.3.9; it's always at least 3 lines on 10.5
- On 10.3.9, the prefs are being written with leading spaces somehow; this doesn't happen on 10.5
remember location of last-launched Camino- Various keys control this, and the interplay between them is not clear; plus, the keys differ between OS versions.
- Make it clear in the "This copy of Camino is already running" warning that "Quit" is "Quit TC" and not "Quit the already-running Camino"
- N.B. It's not safe to quit the already running Camino, because that may be your normal Camino (and you don't want dataloss) and because with running Caminos > 1, the one that gets quit is indeterminate
Future
- handling org.mozilla.camino.plist to ensure freshness
- option to re-use last fresh profile for testing round-trip bugs
- Troubleshoot Firefox
- This would of course be a separate util; most of the needed code exists in the NSPR logging utils and in TC
