Upcoming Features and Fixes

[smorgan]

If you don't want to use CEP, you could just add (IIRC)
user_pref("browser.cache.disk.capacity", 0);
to your user.js file.

While you are there,
user_pref("network.cookie.lifetimePolicy", 2);
should do what you want for cookies (all cookies will be accepted, but as session cookies). That might turn your existing long-term cookies into session cookies the next time the site changes them though, unless you add those sites to your cookie whitelist, so you'd want to be sure to whitelist those sites if you haven't already.

Thanks <b>smorgan</b>.
That is exactly what I was looking for. I added the codes to the prefs.js file.
The cookie hack works.
For the cache hack I set my disk cache size to 20mb so I'll have to wait to see if it sticks.

I downloaded a nighly yesterday, and was incredibly pleased to see an option for "Close Download window automatically when all downloads are finished" option. I couldn't be happier!!!

Maybe already mentioned: Firefox gives message when you try to close whole window with multiple tabs still open "if you want to close them all or that you are making a mistake". Would be a very nice feature in Camino as well since it happens to me once in a while and I think I am not the only one.

[Uncle Asad]

There's a bug on that already: bug 196359.

The updates for the new year sound great. I just switched to Camino as my default browser (with Camino ExtraPrefs)--I love it, very elegant and simple, yet highly customizable.

The only essential feature it lacks is the autofill function. Any chance of an autofill feature?

[japser]

Man did I forget to add that to the list, stupid me.

- form autofill will come, mike himself is assigned to doing that (no timeframe yet)

[marke]

thanks for the info. current preview seems very nice.
metal interface would be also cool. safari looks (Y)

ps
is there some deadline or something for this list there?!

[Old davedit]

metal interface would be also cool.

Try Camino ExtraPrefs... It has an option for a metal interface

Hi,

Is there anything that can be done about the problem I see on certain sites that display the British currency symbol (pound - '£')?

An example site is: http://www.lloydstsb.com/platinum_plus.asp

What I see is 'If your �monthly fee is', where it should say 'If your £12 monthly fee is', and '� �0*' where it should say '£1 - £5000*'.

It looks like a character set issue, and it may well be the result of some dodgy HTML, but Safari and Mozilla have no problems with the page.

Thanks.

This site has the correct pound symbol for me in Camino. I am using the 1/03 nightly <a href="http://www.fiberoptikz.tk/~slowmo/Camino.html">G4 optimized build</a>. Have you customized your CSS or anything of the sort? How about Fonts? I am not sure what the problem could be. Maybe start a new topic for discussion.

select the menu View/Text Encoding/Western (Mac OS Roman)
now your pound is back again...

[smorgan]

There's a bug for improving Camino's ability to guess encodings, but it's a good idea to email the site and ask them to specify their encoding (which they should be doing)

[stephenju]

The new features all sound great. But what about some basics? Are the font setting issues ever going to be look at?
