AutoFill passwords a turned on by default and stored in plain format.

To encrypt and turn off.

... to dump the content of loaded web page to a file.

From user:

One of many things I like is the QtWeb exe handles URI's from the command 
line, even if they contain chars like commas, etc. when I enclose the URI 
in quotes.  

(Can Opera do this?  I don't think so!)

Is there a way I can dump the source to a file or pipe it? 

e.g. 

QtWeb "http://www.abcd/hjkl?ty=wer,z,c,b.aspx" > filename
or
QtWeb "http://www.abcd/hjkl?ty=wer,z,c,b.aspx" | otherprogram


-----

One can browse to the desired webpage, and 'View Source' and then save the 
source with Notepad.

or

If one enables the disk caching feature in QtWeb, then one can browse the 
desired webpages, and then get source from the cache dir.� Here's a crude 
hack, using GNU UNIX utils:

grep -r text\/html QtWebCache\cache\http|gawk '{print 
$3}'|sed "s:\\:\/:g;s:^:strings :;s:$: >> qtweb\.cache:"

- find the html pages in the cache dir
- change the backslashes to forward slashes
- use strings.exe to dump the non-binary contents, i.e. page source, to a 
file called qtweb.cache

But imagine if one could dump source straight to qtweb.cache with QtWeb 
from the command line.

QtWeb.exe -dump http://somewebsite.com/somewebpage.html > qtweb.cache

QtWeb's usefulness would IMO become enormous.� Harmful javascript could be 
easily monitored and even 'sterilised' to plain html, on the fly through 
simple text manipulation.� Mobile users who require access to javascripted 
pages could gain access.� Blind users could change pages to text, opening 
up more possibilities with text-to-speech technology, than with then 
current cumbersome screen readers.
These are just three main ways this would be useful.� I can think of many 
others.

Consider that, with only a very few difficult, faulty and/or obscure 
exceptions, *no current browser* can dump a javascripted page from the 
command line.

QtWeb would be the first.

From user:

Please, don't use LZMA compression in UPX. LZMA is ok for installers, when 
all decompression is done only once, but for runtime packer it's just a 
waste of time.
I benchmarked QtWeb startup time. Pentium D 805, 2.66Ghz, Barracuda 11 
with 330 GB patters, Windows XP x64. I stopped the clock as soon as the 
about:blank window appeared.

Code:
LZMA:          4337096 B, 1.437s.
Uncompressed: 12813768 B, 0.453s.
NRV2E:         4982728 B, 0.625s.

From user:

Not to copy all others browser but sometimes, you use an internet page (or 
else) a lot and having a HOME button makes browsing easier.

to do in the next release/update

From User:

(6) Customizable searches
The ability to right click a search field and adding it to the Search bar 
would be great (similar to Opera and Firefox)

------------------

to think about searches customization

When new tab is opened and URL selected for the new tab, QtWeb loads for 
both first and second tabs selected URL.

in menu/desktop QtWeb icon looks bad on some systems

From user:

(5) One-click bookmarks
Clicking on the star icon should automatically save the bookmark to the 
default bookmarks folder w/o any dialog prompts.
This is similar to the behaviour of Firefox 3's AwesomeBar.

-------------------

to be implemented

When a new Tab is created (Ctrl+T) - cursor should be in the Address Bar 
and current address is highlighted

Bookmarks to be moved back and forth on Bookmarks bar using Drag and Drop 

From user:

> (4) Customizable keyboard shortcuts
I would also like the ability to customize the keyboard shortcuts in 
the "Preferences" menu somewhere to override some of the existing 
shortcuts.

In case if auto detection of codepage of web page does not work, there is no 
way to specify 
text encoding manually.

From user:

  a shortcut or a button to switch on/off the proxy

From user:

other than on links, right click produces nothing--well, actually there is 
a barely visible, one pixel or so something

--------------

Needed to add context menu for the text being selected, and other 
appropriate cases..

To implement Multi-language support for base languages.

To add to the Advanced settings UserAgent string to use

From user:

(3) Customizable toolbar buttons
It would be nice if we could add/remove buttons from the toolbars.
eg. Application style, throbbler, new tab.

--------------

to add the Dialog for Address Bar buttons customization

From users:

> I'd like to known a methode to be able to change the content or all the 
page of the about::blank page loaded at the startup of QTWeb?

Another:
>  I like being able to double click on the the tab bar and have it open 
my home page on a new tab.  Right now the new tab that appears afte the 
double click is: about:blank, with is a very nice welcome page that I've 
read all the way through. It's possible that there is a preference setting 
that I'm missing.  If so, please let me know.

From user:

I think Fixed-with Font don't work. It's posible to change the size but 
not the Font. It's every time the same Font like the Standard Font.
I test it  at  http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting  an then look 
at "Preformatted text", that is a fixed font.

If there is a link underneath - "Save Image" context menu action either 
does not appear, or appears not from the first click

Currently not available, pretty useful to have

To provide better portability, instead of using Registry - write all 
temporary & status information to the current dir/subdir...

From user:

Tabs and open in a new tab.

Please support "open in a new tab" in your context menu, 
also a new tab icon would be great.

Additionally if you support these suggestions either one or both you 
should consider  allowing the use of the tab bar as hide when tabs are not 
in use.

------------------------------

Needed to add this functionality to the context menu

From User:

[deleted issue]

Add feature of importing Favorites/Bookmarks from Internet Explorer, Mozilla, 
Opera, etc ...

To provide better portability it makes sense to decrease final executable 
size using any freeware software compressor, like UPX.. 12 MB current 
qtweb.exe size can be easily compressed to 4MB.

Acid3 JavaScript test - program crash to be fixed.

From user:

I also think you should support the use of installed flashplayer (it uses 
a default directory) or 
if you can't do that try supporting the manual install as an addon (user 
copies installed files manually after full install into a folder labeled 
plugins )(see this thread on firefox as an example)( install flash player 
to firefox http://portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=15402)

------------------

To investigate Flash plugin support for the portable version

from user:

when I close a tab with the middle mouse button (scroll wheel) a tab close 
by button down and a next tab close when the button is up again.
If two tabs ar open und I click QtWeb close.

--------------------

Click on First tab closes the browser. On Second is ok.
To be fixed

From the user:

Another related bug i noticed, is that you cannot enter 5 digit ports in 
the proxy settings, but only 4. since the available ports go up to 65535, 
I think it is a bug.

From users:

I have tried QTWeb on our Intranet, where we have a http proxy that looks 
like http://p-proxy.domain.xy port abcd.

When I enter p-proxy.domain.xy and abcd in the proxy definition, select 
http instead of socks5, I can only load internal pages, not Internet 
pages.  The same settings work fine with K-Meleon, Opera, TheWorld2, etc.

Too bad, since I have an outdated PC and would like to have a low resource 
browser...

Thanks for any support

.merle1.

PS : same problem with both portable and installed version (XP Pro SP2).

PS2 : error message is 
HTTP request failed

-----------
the proxy setting works but only when the proxy need no "user name" and 
no "password". 
I get the same error if the proxy use user name and password.
-----------

Thanks for sharing this.  Actually our proxy works without any username / 
password.  I also tried QTWeb at home without proxy and it works fine.  I 
hope developers can fix this !

Heavy pages with  Flash are not properly displayed when scrolled, artefacts are 
still on the 
screen when you scroll the page

Unable to move tabs properly using Drag&Drop

From user:

Amazon.com works well, until I try to put something in my shopping cart.  
Amazon won't do it, saying I have cookies turned off.  My preferences are 
set to accept cookies from sites I navigate to.  Even changing this 
to "accept all cookies" or making an exception for Amazon fixes nothing.

--------------------

to investigate

from user:

sometimes I find in the path of QtWeb.exe this 
entry "\Downloads\QtWebSettings\QtWeb.NET\QtWeb Internet Browser.ini". I 
thing  the entry is wrong. The "\downlods" section ist too much.

This error is generated when the downlods-path is not exist and the first 
download is starting.

I use the portable version, "Private Browsing Mode" was ON and cash was 
disabled.
I have this effect on two different WindowsXP PCs with QtWeb 1.7.0.11

-----------------

Unable to reproduce, needs to be investigated

From User:

- "Toggle images on, show cached images, toggle images off" - this would 
be one button that would toggle to the next state when clicked (similar to 
Opera)
- "Closed Tabs / window" button

to investigate and implement after toolbar is made customizable

From user:

> - remember the setting from "Reset QtWeb..."

------------------------

To do

Now when new tab is created (or new windows is opened) - defaule Welcome page 
is loaded 
displayed. This is a time and resource consuming operation. Sometimes it can be 
skipped 
and just blank page is displayed.

From user:

For the 1-click bookmark button, right now there is no way of knowing if a 
URL is already bookmarked or not.

*.HTM, ... with it.

hello Alexey

is linux port of qtweb browser planned?

(2) Mouse and Rocker Gestures support
I would like to see mouse and rocker gestures be built into the browser 
sometime down the road.
Not a priority!

From user:

Please consider supporting Ad Block Plus or Ad Block 

This feature has been incorporated into Iron portable and it uses the same 
engine as Qtweb.

This is the most important feature not present yet.

This feature would make this browser superior to Iron in every single way.

I will switch to Qtweb if you can support the addition of Ad Block.
See this evaluation http://portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?
p=16192

Quote  "Would be cool if it supported adblock. As it is now - barely 
useful IMO. " this was by m^(2)

--------------------------------
To investigate AdBlock extension to be supported

QtWeb can render chinese correct if the web page encodeing is
 unicode, but it doesn't support other chinese encoding such as gb2312
 or gbk, for webpages with such encoding, they are unreadable.

Some YouTube pages, or Microsoft XBox videos, having Adobe Flash media 
content that runs automatically when page opens, cause application crash.
Debugging shows that exception is thrown from Qt Plugin classes.
Presumably Qt+WebKit problems.

From user:

Of course if we hide icons then we take away any issue of whether the use 
will or will not like them.� Perhaps icons are a "selling point" if they 
are good, and have universal appeal.� But if we take away the icons, will 
users demand them?� 

QtWeb's main window looks really smart with the buttons hidden. It is 100% 
efficient on screen space and the rendering is as good as Safari. Really 
nice.� 

And the ability to hide the icons that appear with the Navigation bar was 
an impressive foresight, because there are time we must unhide that bar.� 
Would you believe I was going to request this same feature?� 

** Unhiding the Nav bar to mind another feature that could be useful.� 
Sometimes there will be web pages that open without the menu bar, thanks 
to javascript.� It would be useful to have keyboard short to display the 
menu bar and Navigation bar in these situations.� I'm not sure other 
browsers have this built-in.� For example in Firefox, it requires an Add-
On.� So this could be another unique useful feature of QtWeb.

====================================

to think about turning off icons in menus..
