OK, i see that for (say) the Hotlist window, which has the tree structure where you can click the + to expand a branch into twigs. but i don't grasp what puts the certificate display, about which i originally aksed in this thread, into the treeview category. after all, it displays only one item. the Hotlist, i note, can be dragged wider, though it has no horizontal scrollbar. anyway, i'm not saying this is a big deal or worth any programmer's valuable time. the Certificate window hardly ever comes up, in my experience, so can live with the aggravating fixed-size pane (like a Windows license pane that nobody can be pained to read). -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk

It's just a programming term: the hotlist, global history, cookies and certificate display all happen to use a display widget (supplied by NetSurf) known as the treeview to put their content into the window. Incidentally, it was this that caused the RISC OS support kerfuffle last year: the treeview widget and the code that used it originally resided in our frontend (so the others didn't get a look in). When it was moved into the core so that it could be shared around the other platforms, the RISC OS code needed some surgery to handle the loss. It was this surgery that didn't take account of the horizontal scroll bar properly. the Hotlist, i note, can be dragged wider, though it has no horizontal scrollbar. It does now: that was the point of the most recent fix, because the problem that affected certificates could also affect the other tree windows in more extreme cases (if the text line was wider than your monitor). -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England Wakefield Acorn RISC OS Show Saturday 16 April 2011 http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/ http://www.wakefieldshow.org.uk/

Hotlist here does not have one and doesn't need one, since window-resize button at bottom right does the drag-wide job. (but then Hotlist isn't afflicted with the fixed-size pane that causes the pain.) That scroll-bar appears here in r12142 (28 March).

setting size and position of window
can anybody suggest a trick whereby i could make a Netsurf window open at a certain size and position on screen, to display a local file? the page in mind is the control panel for my networked monsterprinter. it's useful to have it handy during a print job without taking up too much screen space. -- Jim Nagelwww.archivemag.co.uk
