Bug#303850: galeon: Display parameters that would be passed to plugin that doesn't exist or failed to load
Package: galeon Version: 1.3.20-1 Severity: wishlist Suggestion for feature.. When a plugin doesn't load or doesn't exist for a particular MIME type, it'd be cool if the resultant popup dialog could be expanded to show the parameters that would have been passed to said plugin. A lot of times movies etc. embedded in webpages employ some ridiculously complex javascript to construct embed and object tags. I've tried various media player plugins for galeon/mozilla - but then when I actually want to save a video clip, they seem to interfere with galeon's ability to save a clip... that or more importantly, a lot of times the plugin just refuses to handle a clip that I know works fine if I play it from CLI. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages galeon depends on: ii debconf 1.4.48 Debian configuration management sy ii galeon-common1.3.20-1GNOME web browser for advanced use ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.17-1Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.8.0-4 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.8.1-2 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.8.1-2 The Bonobo UI library ii libc62.3.2.ds1-20GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libeel2-22.8.2-1 Eazel Extensions Library (for GNOM ii libgail-common 1.8.2-1 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libgail171.8.2-1 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libgcc1 1:3.4.3-12 GCC support library ii libgconf2-4 2.8.1-5 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.4.2-2 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.8.1-2 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-02.8.0-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.8.1-3 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 2.8.4-2 The GNOME virtual file-system libr ii libgtk2.0-0 2.6.4-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libnautilus2-2 2.8.2-2 libraries for nautilus components ii liborbit21:2.12.1-1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-01.8.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-12 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1 X Window System protocol client li ii libxml2 2.6.16-6GNOME XML library ii mozilla-browser 2:1.7.6-1 The Mozilla Internet application s ii procps 1:3.2.5-1 /proc file system utilities ii xlibs4.3.0.dfsg.1-12 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Why I can imagine some of your problems, I don't understand exactly whta you'd want in Galeon: do you see a popup window for each unsuccessful embed.../embed tag in a window where you'd type the name of the program and command line arguments?? Maybe you have an example web page and are already thinking of some GUI to handle it properly?

When galeon sees a mouseclick to an embed/object area that isn't handled by one of the installed plugins, a dialog pops up. Ie. Default Plugin: This page contains information of a type (blah/blah) that can only be viewed with the appropriate Plug-in. Maybe you have an example web page and are already thinking of some GUI to handle it properly? I guess in hindsight this might be best registered against mozilla-browser package as it would seem that the above message is generated by /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnullplugin.so Either way my suggestion is something like: http://img111.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img111image=nullplugin3wb.gif (Image hosted by ImageShack) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
