Global History oddity.
This is with RISC OS 5.16 flashed, and NetSurf r10900. I'm getting used to the new much smaller font size in the Global History and Hotlist windows (gets a lot more text in), but I have found that the first time in a session that I open the Global History the Three weeks ago directory is open, which I don't want. Is this an oddity here, or a feature or a bug? If it's the last, I'll do a bug report when I get a round tuit. With best wishes, Peter. -- Peter \ / zfc Lu \ Prestbury, Cheltenham, Glos.

It's a bug, as I can't think of a single reason why this would be a feature :) I've fixed it in r10902. I wonder whether the intention was to expand out today's entries but it went wrong because of the sort order. Chris

I can answer this one; it's a core issue which has been briefly mentioned before. With the new treeview code, the hotlist is somehow being validated (probably against the URL database) on startup, and any hotlist titles are changing back to whatever the website title last was. Hence any manual title edits are lost. Please could the directory icons be green, as before?

The displayed names of many links have been changed Could you give an example to explain what you're seeing? In the following partial list, my edited link names are on the upper line, and the new names, generated by NetSurf, are on the lower line. dpdiscuss messages dpdiscuss : Messages : 2764-2793 of 2793 iburst account login iBurst Africa in Ghana: internet connection account balance coinmill dollar / cedi Chart for the United States Dollar and the Ghanaian Cedi: Rate Table exchange-rates pound / cedi Convert British Pounds (GBP) to Ghanaian Cedi (GHS) - Exchange Rates I don't understand how NetSurf generates the new names because, since installing r10903, I have not visited any of the links, and the data is not present in the old Hotlist html file. eg the old Hotlist html for the last item above is: lia href=http://www.exchange-rates.org/rate/gbp/ghs;exchange-rates pound / cedi/a/li The link name generated by NetSurf appears to be the page title so, given time, will NetSurf fetch the current page title for every link? If so, it would seem that there is no point in editing the link name, because NetSurf will change it back to the page title. [snip] As a related aside...
