Your answer in the FAQ on you main site seems fairly specious to me. Fluid is such an easy platform to use it seems perfectly logical to use for a web company to want to provide a specialized SSB for their product. Having a user go to your site and learn what fluid is and how to use it is too large of a barrier for some.
I can understand the want for recognition, you certainly deserve it, but it seems like there are better ways than preventing redistribution. Launch each SSB with a splash screen prominently displaying "Powered by Fluid!", embed a donation link in the menus for your own work. Even much more would entirely acceptable given the utility of the app.
Why can't I take Fluid and create an SSB packaged with all sorts goodies and user scripts that provides a kick ass browsing experience for, as an example, google reader and send that around to my friends?
Should General Prefs "Home page" field always be grayed out? While I can go in to the package and change the starting URL, it would be easier to do it from prefs (and definitely better than rebuilding the app).
I have the settings as follows: Closing the last browser window: only hides the window -> yes, and Restore last browsing session on startup with some of my SSBs, yet I still get asked when I close the window if I want to close it.
There shouldn't be a need to ask, in this case, as nothing is really closed, just hidden.
Running it on bank of america has some weird behavior. The external landing page and the "internal" landing page (when you sign into your account) load quickly and render correctly.
Navigating to many of the pages linked pages either fails completely ("Load Failed") or eventually loads, but not the css or images...
From looking at the source everything references appears to be served from teh bankofamerica domain, and for good measure I'm letting the app navigate anywhere, but I'm still getting these issues.
Any clue what's up? I was thinking something with chains-of-redirects, but I'm not seeing any of that in the status bar, so I am stumped.
Is there a way to use multiple Google accounts with Fluid?
I have my Gmail account and a Blogger account that uses a different email address. In order to use one, I have to log out of the other. Using separate browsers solved this before Fluid but now I want to use both apps in Fluid simultaneously.
I'm trying to setup different Fluid apps so that I can log into each one using different Google accounts. For example, I want to use Fluid1 for my personal email and Fluid2 for work. However, logging into gmail in Fluid1 causes Fluid2 to log into the same account.
I thought that Fluid keeps separate cookie jars? Is there a way to configure it so that I can stay logged in using different accounts? Thanks.
I'm trying to create an app to view Hacker News (http://
news.ycombinator.com), and when Fluid creates the app and I try to run
it, it just shows an "about:blank" page.
100% reproducible: start typing an URL in the Address bar and press the down key. Result: app crashes. Up key seems to work fine, the only problem is the down key (I guess it should either move the cursor to the end of the line or display the drop-down menu with the related URLs, if available).
- after UbberView, the search field in the toolbar does not saves its sizes between launches;
- tabs moved actually aren't resorted in the tab bar order;
- 'Back' button not active until the page is fully loaded when creating new tabs.
- while a page is loading, it's impossible to read the URL in the status bar when hovering links (the URL changes rapidly to the 'loading page' message).
And a few suggestions:
- save the bookmarks and downloads windows positions;
- allow JavaScript links that set the window size to open new windows while in SingleWindowMode like Firefox and Safari do;
- 'Clone tab' and 'Move tab to new window' commands for tabs, as well as 'merge all windows' a la Safari;
- 'Snap back to the lastest open tab' when you close a tab a la Camino (as an option at least).
- 'New tab' and 'Close tab' toolbar buttons.
When you open multiple tabs in a window and reorder the tabs, by dragging and dropping, Fluid does not remember your new arrangement next time it opens, it takes the tabs back to the order in which they were created.
For example, I open the tabs thus:
--tab-01
--tab-02
--tab-03
I then drag tab-03 between 01 and 02:
--tab-01
--tab-03
--tab-02
Now, when I quit the SSB and reopen it, it has forgotten my new tab order and reverts to the order in which the tabs were created, like so:
--tab-01
--tab-02
--tab-03
I would love for this to get fixed as it is really annoying me and throws off my organization =P
Is it possible to have Fluid Gmail open during startup, but have it hidden so a new window doesn't open, that way badge notifications of how many new email are in your inbox is displayed in the dock?
In other words, I'd like to have Fluid Gmail serve as a replacement for Google's Gmail Notifier, that way I can have my notifications in the dock like Apple's Mail application. The Gmail Notifier open during startup and displays the number of unread emails and notifies you when new messages arrive.
Is there a reason why Fluid MenuExtra SSB's don't get recognized as a running application to "Hear"? http://www.joesoft.com/products/hear.php (essentially a iWow type app, for all system audio, not just iTunes) When ran as a normal application, the audio events work just fine, and as intended. I've also reported this to Joesoft, and awaiting a response.
when i switch the language of gmail to german i dont get a badge on the dock icon with the unread count, but when i switch it to english(us) i get a unread count.
Fluid is really great as SSB and also as a stand-alone browser. Some suggestions:
- allow JavaScript links that set the window size to open new windows when "SingleWindow" mode;
- save the position of the download and bookmarks windows;
- allow folders in bookmarks;
- show the URL/info when hovering a link in the Status Bar when the page is loading (actually I think how it works now is a bug).
Last but not least, some bookmarlets that work in Safari do not work in Fluid apps for some reason, like Multiply's 'BlogThis!' for example.
PLEASE add a feature to allow me to change the download location to the desktop. i love running gmail with fluid, but i really want to not disrupt my workflow of saving/opening/deleting from the desktop.
Maybe this is intentional, but it seems like a bug. If you have an app that specifies both an apple touch icon and a fluid-icon, it defaults to the apple touch icon. Given that fluid-icon is high res, it seems that should be the default if available.
When I try to launch a new Fluid Application for Gmail or any other site, finder throws an error message: You can not open the application Gmail because it is not supported on this architecture
I use a Google Reader SSB and would like it if when I click a link, it would open in a background tab rather than Firefox. I've tried to accomplish this, but have had no luck.
I used a desktop rss reader before, and had hoped to get the same functionality with a ssb & Reader so my feeds would sync on different computers. If this function was added I think that this would be the perfect rss reader.
