is it possible to add the following features 1, in the address book, can we set some default user name/password for each connection? 2, is mouse browse supported? Thanks and best regards
1. We will consider this... 2. Done in 2.0 beta, but only for newsmth series bbs sites
A really impressive software. There's only one thing I don't like so far. Is it better to open PDF attachment in web browser or add a "download" button in the preview window?
To force Welly to open a url in system default browser, just press "shift" when clicking the url:)
@lvli007 Thanks. But can we have a option to select where to open PDF or image files (such as inside Welly or in Preview or somewhere else)?
Well.....In our design, we think an option might significantly slows down the user's operation when previewing an image or pdf file, while the functions we provided is nearly surfficient to replace an "option" or "option window" in opening an attachment.
btw. to save the attachments from the preview window, just drag it to the place you wanna save it (such as you desktop):)
Just another problem. hope you don't mind ;) Super Download seems don't support sites like ptt.cc
Thx, we will fix it...
super (full text) download fixed on trunk.
There seems a little bug of picture downloading in 2.0RC. When I click a link in Welly, the Growl message shows "the size downloaded of the size of the picture". On my machine, the size of the picture is always "0 byte".
@uiltrams We think this bug is fixed in 2.0RC1 Update1...
