[DQSD-Users] The (errant) history of DQSD
Hi all... I hope somebody has a quick easy answer to this. I just got a new machine at work (yay!) and set about getting everything installed/configured/setup/etc. (including, of course, DQSD). I successfully transferred over my settings files and history file from the old machine to the new, and everything was (nearly) fine... except, on this machine, I was getting that annoying 'security warning' when booting up the machine, and had to click through that nonsense before DQSD would actually start. So, I set out to fix this problem... and, in researching, found Monty's post about simply installing the 4.0 release, which does something different and works around this error. (I had been running 3.1.9.2 and uninstalled that and installed 4.0 RC3). I was still getting those 'security' warnings, even with the 4.0 RC3 release, so I did the registry hack to resolve it, and that seems to have done the trick. Now the issue is with the history -- at first I thought it hadn't picked it up, but it has... it's just that the up/down arrows (or Ctrl-P/Ctrl-N) do not work to scroll through the history. As you might imagine, that significantly impacts the usefulness of the application! In the short term, I figured I could just load up my old history file in notepad, and cut/paste stuff into DQSD until I figured out the Up/Down not working -- no, Ctrl-V doesn't paste into the entry box, either. I basically have to type out whatever search/function I want to use, every time I want to use it. The coce seems to be working correctly -- in that what I type is being appended to the history.txt file, so I think it's just an issue with the keystrokes. But what? Any help would be most appreciated! (As a side note -- why did I upgrade to 4.0 to fix the 'security' thing, when it didn't fix it anyway and I still had to do the registry hack? I could have done that under 3.1.9.2 and not lost all the rest of this functionality!)

Re: [DQSD-Users] Re: [DQSD-Devel] comx: additional comics request
Hiya Monty..
Today, I noticed that Calvin and Hobbes opens a Sunday-sized window,
but shows no comic. Yesterday (Saturday), it opened a Sunday-sized
window (as it should have) and displayed the comic. ucomics is
're-issuing' the Calvin and Hobbes comics, one day at a time, so only on
rare years are the days of the week aligned exactly...

Calvin and Hobbes works now, thanks - but I also saw
that Doonesbury is mis-spelled too :)
Cool .. got it fixed..
Also you could use:
if( nullArgs(comx, q) )
return false;
instead of:
if( q == ? ){
qsfind(comx /function);
return false;
}
if( q == ){
qsfind(comx /function);
return false;
}
I didnt like the nullArgs in this case because it opens the link page.
I
just wanted to display the help window.. The comics come from a couple of
different pages.. I did at least combine the two tests to a single one..
Also I don't like the IE image toolbar popping up over
my comic so you could add:
META HTTP-EQUIV=imagetoolbar CONTENT=no
Hmm I tried putting this in the popup html, but it crashes explorer!...
Maybe I am doing something wrong...
And finally since I got my other wish for Garfield :)
how about displaying multiple comics on one page - I
find myself having to keep typing in the following
sequence to read all my comics:
Oh man... Its a nice idea but I will probably leave this for someone with
better skills than mine.. I am pushing my learning limits already!..
heehee Maybe after a break I could try to tackle it..
Thanks for the feedback!..

right.. The Calvin and Hobbes comic being served up is from 1993. The
reason no comic displayed today is that this is a leap year, and there was
no Feb 29 in 1993.

Re: [DQSD-Users] new comics search
...would one of those fixes be the window-size? Today's Peanuts comic doesn't fit in the window. :( ...in fact, none of the Sunday-sized comics fit. :'( - Original Message - From: Monty Scroggins To: Dqsd-Users Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2004 10:31 AM Subject: [DQSD-Users] new comics search If anyone is interested - Here is an updated version of comx.xml.. This has some fixes. The comix.xml file posted previously was mis-named as well.. I will check this in soon.. CVS is refusing me to login at the moment.. Monty
