Good to see that they're fixed now...

Beats me.  I don't use OIF.  I use Graphics Workshop which seems to do a better
job (plus, GW lets to re-save the image as a different format! 


QUERY: 

What happened to the "Font Panel" selection for starting fonts?  Is it still
on your guys' lists? 


I sent a piece of mail awhile back, but don't know if you ever received it. 

What I asked was: is it possible to have a local mime file, such that I can
setup a "intro to your NeXT account" home page, so that the user can click on a
.ma file, and start up Mathematica... and other silly things like that. 

What would also be neat would be a custom extention (similar to lynxexec:)
to actually  launch local applications... 


Random Thought: When/If you move to multithreaded code, 

BUG REPORTS:
0: making file:/lore/home/ijkl/kwang/Library/OmniWeb/Bookmarks.html
my "home" page, using cmd-V causes a message "Editing i~"...basically,
doesn't work. 


1: Another minor gripe: the text fields for Home and Personal Bookmarks are
non-scrolling.  They should scroll. (because I'm eventually changing our
users' defaults to: file:/usr/local/lib/www/userguides/Start.html
which will not fully show in  the window; resulting in confused users. 


2: html parsing bug:

note that this *IS* incorrect html code, BUT, the nested <h2>'s seem to
double the font size each time, so the last line will appear REALLY REALLY
BIG.  Is this acceptable?  What happens if someone loads too many nested
<h2>'s? just a thought... 


3: Last gripe of this message: You should put some text up after retrieving an
image saying something like "decompressing image" or "decoding image" or
"translating image" or something to that effect, when you pass the file off
to be decompressed.  This lag of "nothing's happening" is particularly
noticeable with large .gif files.  


Side Note: I was finally able to "use" the bookmark panel by using (from the menu)
Bookmarks -> Open File, but I like my formatted page, so I'm going to stick to using
Edit and open my bookmarks as my "Home" page.
