BlazFront released!

[JAmerican]

As many of you know, there isn't really an application that handles the links of mobile browsers like Blazer or NetFront, so I've decided to create an application that allows you to export links you've visited or bookmarked into a HTML file, located in the main directory of your MS, SD or Int. Media.

This application has been tested on the UX and TX. On the UX, the HTML file does not save to the MS card but does save to the Int. Media card. I hope to fix this issue in the future releases.

Nice app, JAmerican! :cool:

[LanMan]

That looks like a cool app!

[DannyWSU]

Works great, though it takes so long to export my links (8 bookmarks, 39 visited sites), that I thought it froze the first time and I reset my TX before the process was complete.

When I tried the second time, I waited longer and saw the pop-up notice.

Forgot to mention that I didn't add a statusbar of some kind yet. LOL. Sorry. It does take some time to export. Just give it some time. I will try and update it again today. :)

Cool!

Now, how about an app that can import firefox bookmark html files into blazer/netfront's bookmark pdb file...

JAmerican,

Thanks for the quick response and the free utility!

[JAmerican]

No problem :)

Can you add support for WebPro? I've installed WebPro 3.1 from my Z72 onto my TX and use it as my primary browser, but I do occasionally use Netfront and Blazer as well.

[JAmerican]

Or BlazFrontPro which sounds really cool :) Send me a PM npbeers and we'll go from there :)

BTW, I always throught Blazer and WebPro were the same browser, just name changed (like MultiMail and VersaMail)

It's my understanding that Blazer actually uses the netfront engine, although how palm screwed it up so badly, I have no idea!

Great icon and enhancements, Jamerican :)

Some remarks:
* I still have the "error 20" when accessing the Netfront bookmarks.
* You should set the DIA mode of your forms to "Disabled" in HB++, as you're not using any Hires features. I think it's set to "Enabled (Fixed)" for the moment. Or you should set it to "Enabled (Resize)" for the Manage screen so the list containing the bookmarks and visited links can be higher (in portrait mode) or wider (in landscape, useful for long bookmark names and URLs).
* Slight problem in the About box when switching from version to info. The order of your xxx.Visible=False or =True is wrong.

I kind of rushed the release last night and switched the AboutForm setup. LOL. The reason I didn't disable the DIA for the first form is because that causes WebPro to crash on my device. Having the DIA enabled does not.

EDIT: Actually upon reviewing the About Form, there is no issue that I can see as you have stated.

[snark]

Any idea for the error 20? Can I help you with something (I'm also a HB++ developper).

You should add support for Xiino now and it'll be very complete.

[JAmerican]

Xiino's next... :)

BTW, check your PMs in a few seconds.

As for help. No offense but I really want to push through this application. I've been working on this alone for the most part and want to continue doing so I can say that I truly made this application. I've received help in an earlier build of the application with the Memory Stick (due to HB++ has an issue with reading the label of MS cards as well as saving to them) from Sharky. Probably in later projects. I've seen your work and its amazing :). I've come to love HB++ and hope to continue working with it.

I actually use TagEditor. :) I was thinking of making an application like this until I saw TagEditor listed in the Killer Apps section.

JTLYK - I got the file and I'm problem-solving :) Thanks.

Where's this Killer Apps section?

[JAmerican]

You posted in it at HB++ Community Forum lol...

Can't wait. :) for V2.

[JAmerican]

It should if your LD has NetFront, Blazer and/or WebPro installed.

Cool!

Now, how about an app that can import firefox bookmark html files into blazer/netfront's bookmark pdb file...

A bit off topic, but if/when this "import firefox bookmarks" is implemented, would it be possible to use this on a Zaurus Linux device to import firefox bookmarks into Netfront 3.1 on a Zaurus?
I know it's highly unlikely, but most Zaurii users don't use Netfront. They use Opera, but I prefer Netfront.

[KenSong]

Is Xiino support here yet ;-)

[dragonsgames]

So this is your second app, right? ;)

I don't have a Linux PDA and don't know how the DBs are setup for NetFront in Lunux.

Working on it.

Nope. 3rd. 2nd independant application.

This app looks like it has promise however, I can't figure out how to get it to work :confused: I use Blazer and I'm trying to use NetFront more. But when I save a file of my Blazer bookmarks, I can't open the .htm file from within NetFront. Also if I try to save my NetFront bookmarks I get "Error 20: Attempt to read beyond end of stream" (this has already been mentioned in a prev. post)

So any idea why I can't open the file within NetFront? I put the .htm file name into the address bar in Blazer and everything works fine... But I put the same file name into the "Enter Address" of NetFront and I get an ERROR - Cannot open File.

What am I doing wrong?

[antoinepierre]

Nice app, JAmerican! :cool:Ho, Snark, tu veux pas faire une info sur Palmattitude ?

Toi qui parles les langues étrangères ?

[snark]

Ho, Snark, tu veux pas faire une info sur Palmattitude ?
Toi qui parles les langues étrangères ?I'll post information about BlazFront on other forums when the Netfront error 20 is corrected! ;)
