Bug Fixes

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Had a bit more of an email exchange today with Andrew from the Newzcrawler Team about the permalinks. He figured out where the problem was, promised to get it fixed in the next version and gave me some ideas for a workaround. Very helpful! Turns out that the problem lies in the way their embedded browser handles anchors on a blog page. Since they were using a “fast” content display method, the browser saw all anchors as being the same document, so the links to anchors never opened. However, if you right click on the news item instead of opening it in the quick-view browser, you can choose to view it in a real browser window and it will actually take you to the site, and to the anchor in the page for that post. So it’s nice now that I can browse the news items using the program and then still be able to go to the site in the browser if I want to read further, but it’ll be even nicer when I don’t have to switch back out of the quick-view browser to do it.

Again, it’s a very cool feeling when someone takes the time to not only work on this, but to turn around and thank you for helping them find the bug. I can’t usually get that level of customer service for software I pay for, let alone freeware!

    As a bit of a follow up to last night’s Gnomedex comments, let me say this. I do think it’s the attendees that make a conference great. The great thing about Gnomedex is that the attendees are interesting people who I enjoy meeting and talking to. That’s really even more important than who the speakers…

    It was nice being away from the office for most of today. The Microsoft seminar was semi-interesting. Some demo’s of new software, which was interesting, but nothing that made me want to run out and buy any of them right this minute. There’s some things in Office XP that are nice, but nothing that would…
