HFS ~ HTTP File Server / v2.1b build ?? - What's the newest?

« on: December 15, 2006, 07:55:49 PM »

What's the newest build of v2.1b?  The home page says build 067.  I read somewhere in the forum about a build 069. (I can't find it now).

Can all forum posts about new builds go into 1 sticky topic and also include the changelogs?  Right now it seems as if new build announcements are scattered all over the place buried in forum threads.

I thought the thread called Topic: 2.1 has come was where all new build announcements would be made.  Not so, as the newest build mentioned in that thread is 066.

Is there a reason for this?

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Suggestion: %list% Pages Feature

« on: December 03, 2006, 01:43:32 PM »

%list% Pages

Some of our directories are huge and take time to display especially if [file.jpg], [file.mp3] etc. is used.

Would it be possible to add a file/folder "pages" option?  A page feature similar to what is used in forums to limit the amount of threads per screen.   A feature like this would also help those that are on dial-up or on a slower high speed connection.

HTML & templates / [file.jpg] and IE problem

« on: December 03, 2006, 01:23:20 PM »

[file.jpg]

Has anyone else noticed that [file.jpg] isn't working for Internet Explorer?  I tested using v6.0.  No problem with Opera, Firefox or Netscape. 

Has anyone got it working for IE?

Bug reports / Updates - Auto Check

« on: November 30, 2006, 07:16:17 PM »

v2.1b build 063

Updates - auto check everyday

It doesn't remember the OFF setting (no checkmark).  It turns itself back on when you reload HFS.  I manually check for updates when I feel the time is right for me.  Please fix.  Also, I suspect that it updates more than just once a day.  From time to time I notice a quick flash in the middle of my screen which I'm almost sure has to do with this update feature or something else from HFS as it started with build 063.  Why not include a log entry when an update request takes place so we know.

Everything else / Make Firefox Load and Browse Faster!!!

« on: October 17, 2006, 03:59:20 AM »

Firefox is a good browser but I found it to be slower than it should be.  I found the following information on the net and thought I would pass it on in case any of you would also like to do some tweaking.  Credits go out to the author or author's of this information.  I have no idea who they might be.

Make Firefox Load and Browse Faster!!!

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:
Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true".
Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true".
Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.

Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0".

This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.

If you're using a brodband connection you'll load pages 2-3 times faster now.

Tested and Working!

------------------------- more info from another source -------------------------

Performance Settings

Before we start, i suggest that you make a new file in your firefox profile (C:\Documents and Settings\%User%\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ve9hjttm.default) is where it is normally found. Now make a new file called user.js. i have forgotten the whole story of why you do this but i think it is along the lines of firefox not being able to edit this. it will always be safe. i hope. as well as this it keeps all your mods in one place.


Quick and Dirty Settings

Code: [Select]

user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.firstrequest", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
Pipelining does multiple data requests at once and should speed things up. I believe IE did this before and this was partially attributable to the speed advantage that IE had over older versions of Mozilla/Netscape. Initial Paint Delay actually slows down the rendering of the ENTIRE page but since users tend to start reading before the entire page is rendered, setting this to a low value gives the impression that the page loads faster.


Common to all configurations

These are the settings that seem to be common to all configuration files regardless of connection speed or computer speed with a couple of additions - plugin paths can be found with about:plugins and the bookmark menu delay is turned off.

Code: [Select]

user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.pipelining", true);
user_pref("network.http.pipelining.maxrequests", 8);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("plugin.expose_full_path", true);
user_pref("ui.submenuDelay", 0);

Fast Computer Fast Connection

Code: [Select]

user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);
A couple settings of note - Firefox is allocated 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used.


Fast Computer, Slower Connection

This configuration is more suited to people without ultra fast connections. We are not talking about dial up connections but slower DSL / Cable connections.

Code: [Select]

user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);

Fast Computer, Slow Connection

Code: [Select]

user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled", true);
user_pref("content.interrupt.parsing", true);
user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 8191);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);
user_pref("browser.cache.memory.capacity", 65536);

Slow Computer, Fast Connection

Code: [Select]

user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 3000000);
user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 1000000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 1000000);
user_pref("content.maxtextrun", 4095);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 1000);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 48);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 16);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);
One of the changes made for this particular configuration is the final line where the status bar is disabled for changing web pages to save processor time.


Slow Computer, Slow Connection

We have entered the doldrums of the dial-up user

Code: [Select]

user_pref("content.max.tokenizing.time", 2250000);
user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750000);
user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);
user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750000);
user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 750);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 32);
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy", 8);
user_pref("network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server", 4);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);

Some of the options we chose not to include as opposed to suggestions on the Mozillazine threads included the suggestion of catching SSL pages. Regardless of computer speed, one of the common trends is that pipelining is a good thing. Those with faster computers and gobs of memory may want to up the amount of memory available to Firefox while those with slower computers can still increase the default 4MB to something higher. This was not done in our configuration files however. Powerusers are also welcome to disable the status bar to eek out that extra CPU cycle or two.

Bug reports / HFS v2.1 b16 - Template Editor

« on: September 17, 2006, 09:11:51 PM »

rejetto,

Sorry, but I still wish you could somehow put word wrapping back into the editor.  Or at least give us a menu option to either have word wrapping or look at color decorations.  As I understand it from a old post of your's, you can't have both.  The way it is now makes it difficult, for me anyway, to make code adjustments etc. when code flows from window to window.

Now, with v2.1 beta 16, I can't highlight code past the first window or from the last window going towards the first window.  The highlighting and cursor just stops at the end of the window no matter what direction you are going.

Is there some kind of purpose for that verticle grey line shown after the help menu function that goes down the length of the window?

I also got this access violation when horizontal scrolling with the scroll bar.

Access violation at address 004EC0CA in module 'hfs.exe'. Read of address 0187C000

Everything else / Email Address

« on: August 26, 2006, 03:33:14 AM »

I can see an email icon with my email address in my posts in the threads.   In my profile I selected hide email address.    Why is it shown in the pages?    And by the way, how do you change your email address in the profile?  I didn't see an option to do it.
