I saw this initiative today and I think this is great!

Especially the external links which get redirected to the "real" browser are nice.

WishList

The feature I would like to see one day however is a way to define the default printer with its settings on a certain page.

I can imagine a page you always want to print with a duplicate, or only from a certain printer.

Using an applet for this can be an option, but a standard which can be handled by the browser would be nicer in my opinion. Are there any ideas of how to solve this? I am not aware there are any standards for this yet, defining how to add these options to your webpage.

Cookie Limits

Local applications often make use of local storage, and in a web enviroment, all local storage one can get is Cookies. But Cookies are too limited for a local application. They can handle only key/value pairs and are limited to a size of 4Kb.

It would be great if WebRunner could provide some other type of local storage, something like Adobe´s Flash Shared Object, for example. Shared Object is like a "Super Cookie", it let you store full objects and xml data, and up to 100kb per application.

• It would be nice to have tooltips working (title="foo").
• A check box to save proxy authentication.

I have a wishlist too:

• it should be great if my webapps allows extension association, so that I could open a PDF, on my desktop, with a doubleclick, using google docs&spreadsheet
• it should be great if my webapps allows params, so that I could create a new mail with Gmail, making a click on a mailto-link on my browser

Window-Size

When using webapps, espiacally the goolge-calendar the open window is too small. I'd like to have webrunner either store the resized windowsize or be able to put some parameters into the application-ini-file about the windowsize.

Thanks for that great application. It's really fast.

I want to play, but it won't work...

I'm behind a proxy, so have added proxy settings like I found on your weblog. After doing that, I can edit a .webapp file to open www.google.com, but not mail.google.com. I can open www.yahoo.com but now mail.yahoo.com, etc.

The only difference I can think of is that the www addresses are using http, while the others are using https. I read somewhere that WebRunner supports https, and all the webapps shipped with it resolve to https URLs.

Is this a proxy + https problem? Any ideas what I need to do to fix this? I would really like to play around with this tool.

Thanks,

Tabbed Browsing?

Hello,

My group is considering Webrunner for a specific customer application. However the customer is requesting tabbed browsing. I understand that Webrunner's simplicity (and in some cases lack of tabs) is what makes it appealing, but they are really looking for distraction-free browsing.

Are there any plans to add tabbed browsing in the near future?

Thanks, Kevin

Kevin, you can check out this: http://s3.amazonaws.com/xdexavier/multirunner.xul It is a xul window that can run in webrunner and display several tabs at once.

FWIW, when using Xavier's MultiRunner, the JS file* needs to be edited - it should end up looking somewhat like this:

TabbedRunner = {
	tabs: [
		{
			title: "TiddlyWiki",
			url: "http://tiddlywiki.com"
		},
		{
			title: "TiddlyWiki (blank)",
			url: "http://tiddlywiki.com/empty.html"
		}
	],
	defaultTabIndex: 0, // zero-based index of the tab that initially gets the focus
	title: "TiddlyWikis"
};

MFinkle - Tabbed browsering is not high on my list of features. WebRunner is about running webapps, not browsing in general. I am considering adding the ability to create a stack of browsers. Think of it like an SDI application where multiple webapps can be loaded, but only 1 viewed at a time. A sidebar of menus could be used to bring a specific brows/webapp to the top.

WebRunner on Mac

Hello, I have installed WebRunner on my Mac and now I would like to configure it but I didn’t find any .webapp file and I don’t know (is there some documentation online ???) where I have to put my own .webapp file.

Please, could you let me know what I have to do in order to set it up ???

Thank you, I appreciate it

MFinkle - There are .webapp files on the main WebRunner article page you can download. You should be able to put the .webapp files anywhere on your Mac. I put mine in the "Documents" folder. Double-clicking on them to launch should work automatically.

CSS Issues

I've just noticed that WebRunner is not rendering pages identical to Firefox: sample (cf. [tw] Webrunner)

However, before I file a bug report, can anyone confirm this or provide some further insight?

-- FND 05:51, 4 October 2007 (PDT)

Seems like the problem is with Firefox 3's new rendering engine - not sure what to do about that (or whether I should). -- FND 08:24, 5 October 2007 (PDT)

Private Data

I'd like to see UI to configure/clear private data (cookies, history, passwords, etc.), ideally with the same options/language as in Firefox.

Currently it's possible to configure some of this through about:config (at the command line):

webrunner -uri about:config

but it's not terribly nice.
