hey chris. there's an option for this under the Cruz application menu in the main menu. "Empty Cache..."

webkit has objc api for this, and that is what both cruz and fluid ssbs use.

I've fixed this, it will be included in the next release:

thx jesse. i just tested this, and actually it looks like its not that you have to reset it every time, but rather you just have to show the general preference pane at least once. and then the shortcut will work after that. that's a bug.

Todd replied on September 30, 2008 17:49 to the idea "Pop-to-front keyboard shortcut?" in Fluid:

look in general preferences.

Todd replied on September 21, 2008 23:45 to the problem "Thumbnail plugin is getting bad urls" in Fluid:

oic, you're using https. yes i can reproduce here.

i'll try to get to this soon.

Todd replied on September 21, 2008 23:26 to the problem "Thumbnail plugin is getting bad urls" in Fluid:

mal, please test with the current version of fluid. 0.9.4.1 (you should always update before reporting a bug)

Todd replied on September 21, 2008 23:17 to the problem "Thumbnail plugin is getting bad urls" in Fluid:

hi judi. i dont see this happening on apple.com. pls provide a url where this is reproducible.

Todd started following the idea "iPhone version of the website" in OtherInbox.

A comment on the problem "TinyURL expansion userscript not working" in Fluid:

i def. see what yr saying... the tooltip is certainly nice in some ways, but i'm not convinced it's better than the context menu/right click method currently implemented.

when i implemented this originally, i considered several options (including tooltips) and decided i liked the context menu item option the best.

benefits to the context menu:

1. once converted, the url is permanently visible. (you don't have to continue to hover, or hover again to see it)

2. it will very rarely interfere with existing functionality of webapps... very few override the right cilck/context menu.

those two benefits of the context menus are also weaknesses of the tooltip... many websites/apps make use of "title" attributes and taking over the tooltip for this purpose would break that.

so although i agree the tooltip is nice in certain ways, at this point, I'm happy with the current implementation and feel like it's probably the best all things considered. – Todd, on September 17, 2008 19:39

Todd replied on September 17, 2008 17:05 to the problem "TinyURL expansion userscript not working" in Fluid:

yeah, that uses some Firefox specific stuff...

but the good news is that you don't need it! :0] Fluid SSBs have URL expansion built-in.

Todd replied on September 05, 2008 08:10 to the idea "Make it easier to install userscripts by URL" in Fluid:

hey chris, if you enter the url of a userscript into the location bar of a fluid ssb, you should be presented with a sheet that asks if you want to install the userscript.

thx,
todd

:0] works great now. thx chris/dave.

Todd replied on July 27, 2008 20:40 to the question "how do i get gmail and RTM in Fluid to work?" in Fluid:

hi chainsawpanda, can you provide a link to the RTM plugin? it sounds like it might be a FireFox plugin... if that is the case it will only work with the FireFox browser... it won't work with Fluid.

glad to know i'm not (too) crazy! :0] – Todd, on July 25, 2008 18:44

Todd replied on July 25, 2008 08:04 to the problem "Can't sign in with OpenID" in Open Web Foundation:

Hey Chris,

I tried many times to login using both an AOL and Yahoo OpenID about 12:30am today (Friday July 25). All attempts were unsuccessful. All resulted in consistent error messages, but they were different for AOL vs Yahoo. I had 100% consistent results in Safari, Fluid, and Firefox, so I don't think it's a client issue of any kind. I've successfully used the AOL id before, but i don't think i've ever used the yahoo one.

Steps encountered when attempting to login with AOL OpenID

1. Visit OWF login form here:

http://openwebfoundation.org/mt/mt-co...

2. Enter AOL OpenID (format: http://openid.aol.com/username) (note: my AIM username is actually an old .mac account so it contains an '@mac.com' in the username portion... i have seen many software products choke on that '@' symbol... might be the cause of an issue.) and click "Sign in" button.

3. Taken to AOL OpenID Sign In Request page to login there (so far so good). Login using this form.

4. Taken back to plain text OWF error page:

http://openwebfoundation.org/mt/mt-co...

with the following error message: "An error occurred: The sign-in attempt was not successful; please try again."

Steps encountered when attempting to login with Yahoo OpenID:

1. Visit OWF login form (same URL as above)

2. enter Yahoo OpenID (format: https://me.yahoo.com/username) . click 'sign in'.

3 Error page appears at this URL:

http://openwebfoundation.org/mt/mt-co...

Screenshot above.

Hope this helps. (yes, I *live* to write detailed bug reports ;0])

yep I think so :0]

you should download Fluid and make some SSBs... that will prolly clear the rest up for you...

Todd replied on July 21, 2008 07:29 to the question "How do I setup/support growls for people wanting to make Fluid Apps out of my online product?" in Fluid:

Let me try that again. i don't have docs on this one feature, but you can also serve a custom icon specifically for Fluid. Fluid will discover this whenever a user creates an SSB and selects 'use site favicon':

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/path/to/my/icon.png">

just put that in your html and point to an image on any server.

A comment on the question "How do I setup/support growls for people wanting to make Fluid Apps out of my online product?" in Fluid:

woops... sorry i forgot. you can also serve a custom icon that fluid will use when the user creates her ssb:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/path/to/icon.png"> – Todd, on July 21, 2008 07:27

A comment on the question "How do I setup/support growls for people wanting to make Fluid Apps out of my online product?" in Fluid:

serve it just like any other JavaScript. Fluid renders the dock badge label for you. its magic. as for a custom icon, the user will have to select one when she creates the ssb. – Todd, on July 21, 2008 07:24
