In the german pdf magazin »freiesMagazin« is a screenshot of that shows Rekonq with replaced tabs in the title bar:

http://s1.directupload.net/file/d/2148/naiv9e2w_jpg.htm

Is there a way to enable this feature in the current git version? In Rekonq's option menu, there is no option to get this behavior.

I think this isn't a feature of rekonq itself. It's a feature of kwin's new window grouping feature.

You should be able to enable this behaviour by enabling auto-grouping in kwin's settings and set rekonq to use new windows instead of new tabs.

PS: I don't use rekonq but the combination of both settings should do the trick. It will enable tabbed titlebars for all applications.

Is there any way to import bookmarks from an .html file generated i.e. from firefox?

Here're some more great news for Rekonq: Process Isolation directly from Webkit!

More strength for Rekonq right ahead! ;)

(As always) Can't wait! =D

Hi, I don't know if this is bug for bugzilla report so I write it here.
When I open new tab and begin to write some html address and then I change tab to some open one (i.e. for reading a rest of the address I type to new tab) and back to new one the address text I have written dissappears. Very good browser but this is little bit annoying issue. Any idea how to fix it? I use rekonq on Fedora 12 x86_64, KDE 4.4.2.

Rekonq is what KDE needs! Thanks for writing this. Since 0.4.0 and the KWallet support, rekonq is my default browser. Go on like this :-)

Hello, I can't seem to display Java applets. Are they supported?

Report

No, they aren't. It's a QtWebkit missing feature. But it seems they are going to solve this in some next releases..

Is it just me, or does Rekonq only display generic font families, regardless of what font-family is specified in the CSS? Actually, it obeys the @font-face declaration but ignores all local font families.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this a qtwebkit thing?

Is there a PPA with the latest stable or trunk builds, or perhaps a .deb. for the incompetent users?

If you go to: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/share/buttons/

...and scroll (with the scrollbars) to the bottom of the page, and then back up - rekonq crashes.

Arora does not crash - but seems to take much longer to load this page.

(I only went to this page as when starting rekonq from a konsole, I keep getting error messages about /usr/lib/browser-plugins/libskypebuttons.so - so I thought'd I'd see what this plugin was!)

Upon further investigation - it seems to be flash that is causing the crash.

And I lied (sorry), Arora does also crash - if I disabled its 'click to flash. I guess there must be some hidden flash elements on this page - becase I cant see the 'Load plugin' button.

Anyway, sorry for the noise.

hi !

rekonq doesn't works well on blip.tv

i mean , if i use konqueror i can see videos without problems with kmplayer part

cuz you can see videos like flash , and that is ok , or like ogv.

check this one

It works well here (anche se saprei già installare una stampante..)
Please check your Qt (phonon + webkit) installation.

it doesn't find the plugin i see ... un piccolo mattoncino... in mezzo

but only if i want ogv ... with flash of course it works

Report

If you see a little "mattoncino" this means the plugin isn't found from QtWebkit.
First case: check this page (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qtwebkit.html) to read about qtwebkit plugins support

Hey,
Love your browser. It's my default since some time now. I have one problem (already in 0.3)

Go to this link and try to change the pictures using the arrows on the sides. It doesn't work (works in konqueror)
