Crashes with Silverlight

I've just installed Microsoft's Silverlight plugin (microsoft.com/ 
silverlight), and I'm seeing repeatable crashes at the Silverlight  
website and filmsforlearning.org. Both seem to work OK with Safari,  
which is weird.

Yes, I've submitted bug reports, but in the mean time - anyone else  
having problems with Silverlight?

Function keys and workspaces

Some time ago there were a couple of enquiries about whether there  
was a way to disable the function-key shortcuts for workspaces. I  
never saw a response.

I'm desperate to find some way to do this. It makes me scream when I  
hit a function key by mistake, or thinking it'll do what I use it for  
in other applications, and suddenly all my OW windows disappear and  
completely different ones start loading.

PLEASE can we have some (hidden if necessary) preference for turning  
this tiresome feature off?

Thanks
Mike

Re: Function keys and workspaces

Hi Mike,

Sorry for the trouble here, this isn't possible at the moment but we  
do have an open request for doing this and I've added your vote to the  
list.

This is a bit of a workaround but you can customize the shortcuts for  
workspaces via the Keyboard Shortcuts area of the Keyboard and Mouse  
System Preference pane. This becomes less useful if you change  
workspaces frequently but if you don't, might be worth trying out.

Big improvement in speed over the previous version!!
I like the new icons too (but I wish the icons for the Preferences had  
been updated too…),

(now that I think of it, the icon for the application itself hasn't  
changed in quite some time...... It's rather difficult to say which  
version of the application you are running by just looking at this  
icon — unlike ost of the other OmniApps.

We usually only update the dock icon for major revisions (like say,  
6.0). So it will happen we've just been on 5.x releases for a long  
time :)

Re: OmniWeb-l Digest, Vol 51, Issue 3

Just sent in my first bug report using the feedback item.  There's a  
problem with vanishing bookmarks!  I guess I've traded in the problem  
with hanging with vanishing bookmarks.  Need to think carefully about  
which is worse!   ;-)

As a family licensee, I'm glad to see you guys haven't forgotten  
about us and are still trying to squish some of these bugs.

Ok, I have looked but cannot find the "code signing" stuff that your 
release notes touts so highly.  I'd like to do it -- where is it? 
Help is no help.

Re: OmniWeb-l Digest, Vol 51, Issue 3

Hi,

don't know about vanishing ones, but I had just a problem of moving  
bookmarks and having them turned automagically into another entry (or  
even folder)... And I remember having had that problem way back when  
(OW 4?). I kind of remember that it was some weird entry in the  
bookmark file which messed up the internal bookmark database....

My 'quick' solution:
- Quit OmniWeb
- Go to Home -> Library -> Application Support -> OmniWeb 5 (or  
shorter: ~/Library/Application Support/OmniWeb 5/)
- drag out "Bookmarks.html", "Bookmarks.html~", "Favorites.html",  
"Favorites.html~" to somewhere else
- (possibly archive/compress those four files, just to have a safe  
backup copy)
- Start OmniWeb
- Go to the Bookmark page (Command-B)
- Delete all automatically created bookmarks in "Personal Bookmarks"  
and "Favorites"
- Import Bookmarks "Bookmarks.html"
- Go to "Imported Bookmarks" and drag all bookmarks into "Personal  
Bookmarks"
- Delete "Imported Bookmarks"
- Import Bookmarks "Favorites.html"
- Go to "Imported Bookmarks" and drag all bookmarks into "Favorites"
- Delete "Favorites"

This way, the internal bookmarks database and consequently the newly  
created "Bookmarks.html" and "Favorites.html" appear to be sanitized.

Hi Jim,

You don't have to do anything for this, it's something we do when  
actually building the application internally. Also, while it wont  
prevent you from running OmniWeb on earlier operating systems, the  
benefits (I believe) are only seen when using Leopard.

The main benefit you'll see from this is that when downloading future  
versions you shouldn't get asked if you want to let OmniWeb access an  
item in the keychain. This is nice since as of 10.5 you see a prompt  
for each keychain entry OmniWeb tries to read, not just once for the  
first item. Keep in mind, you will have to give it access for each  
item the first time around but not after.
