Intercept input_server

Hi,
Since i use QupZilla browser (at the moment faster than Web+) for write in forums and sending mails, etc… etc… There is a problem: it crashes very often, then i lose all that i write, and i have to restart to write and compose all again.
On bebits i found this: http://bebits.com/app/2469 this little app can “intercept” all that is typed with keyboard.
But doesn’t work with Haiku, freeze input_server. But there is source available, so i’ve tried to compile it with Paladin, but i get a lot of errors. Thers is someone so kind to try to compile it correctly for Haiku?

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm, it is a very, very simple input_server filter, it should not be too hard to compile. Input server filters must be compiled as “add-ons” or shared libraries, maybe Paladin has a setting for that? If not, you can use the makefile-engine, which is documented here:

http://haiku.it.su.se:8180/source/raw/docs/develop/makefile-engine.html

The TYPE should be SHARED and you will need to have libbe in the LIBS section.

Though I would suggest as another solution to your problem that you compose long text entries in StyledEdit or another editor if the browser crashes so much.

Also WebPositive should be faster soon with the current work being done on it.

Hi Ryan,

thank you for your reply and explanations!
I fear that i’m not able to compile a software… But i can do an attempt!

I’m waiting impatiently for the imminent new release of Web+ (with updated WebKit!) But for now i prefer QupZilla because is more complete: can save passwords, has a do-not-track option, has an adblock filter, and i can change browser identification (is useful on certain sites). Would be very nice if soon, WebPositive will have all these good features! Yeah, i know you are the Author of WebPositive: think about to add all these features :smiley:
In anyway, since Web+ is a native software, i think without any doubt that could be much better than any “ported” browser, one day!

Best regards!

Oh yeah!

I’ve compiled it correctly and works very good!
Thank you again for suggestion.

Out of curiosity, what method for compiling did you end up using? Paladin with the right settings or the Makefile-engine?

Also those features you mentions from QupZilla are definitely on the list for WebPositive.

I’ve used makefile method. I’ve setup the file as you has suggested to me.

That’s a very good news!!!
