Copy me

Posted by ALB42 on 2. März 2023No Comments

Before the release is after the release. Of course, now that the first version of AmiFox is released I think about how to improve it for the next release. One wish I heard some time was to copy text from webpages. Which got me thinking, you can select texts with the click and drag feature I introduced, so it should be possible to copy these texts as well.

Also there are this neat javascript buttons which copy a text into the clipboard (like gitlab has for the URL of the repository) would be also nice to catch this contents. (btw. github had in the past such button, but now they replaced it and it also does not work in my regular webbrowser, so no wonder it also does not work in AmiFox)

And after some playing around I got a way to catch the selected text as well as the clipboard contents. This btw. is a bit strange you have to execute a javascript for the chrome browser to get it, strange but works.

AmiFox 0.2 Release

Finally after 4 alpha version and 6 beta versions we (McDope, Amix and me) think AmiFox, a new browser for classic Amiga, is ready for it’s first release. This is Version 0.2 so one can see it’s still in development and many things to improve but I guess many people want to try how it works. And we can test how the server behave under heavier load than in the beta tests.

There is a special page for AmiFox where you can download the program.
