I've been using dsl for some time now, but recently updated to a newer version. I love dsl.

Unfortunately, with the new upgrade, my dillo bookmarks don't work properly. When I click on the bookmark, the address window places "dpi:/bm/" in from of the address. Of course the web site doesn't open until I manually delete the extra information.

I've searched forums for info from the last year, but haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. Is there a fix?

Even though people dump on dillo a lot, I love it. It's fast, doesn't use much memory on an old machine, and works well for the vast majority of web sites.

Dillo was upgraded in DSL v1.5 Dillo changed significantly.
I suspect the format of the bm.txt file has changed.
Save a copy of your bookmarks then enter a new bookmark.
Compare the files. May be possible to then edit the original bookmark file to the new format.

Hey, there are alot more people than you think use dillo. I use dillo 95% of the time. I to love dillo and use it to browse all the time. I use firefox to check my mail, forums, & quirky sites, other than that it's dillo baby! I have more than enough juice to run firefox, but i just love the speed & simplicty of good ol dillo. I do wish DSL dillo had better fonts, but i'll take what i can get.

I've found it to be much less complicated and trouble-free to create and edit the bm.txt file manually, rather than using the gui. The syntax is essentially just defining categories and then defining the addresses under each category. If you have categories "one", "two", and "three", it might look like this:

Code Sample

s0: one
s1: two
s2: three

s0 http://www.bleh.org/this_is_in_category_one
s0 http://www.blah.org/this_is_also_in_category_one
s1 http://www.bleh.org/this_is_in_category_two
s2 http://www.bleh.org/this_is_in_category_three

Thank you for the quick responses.

I've reviewed my bm.txt file and can't find any reason for the problem. Whether I add a bookmark through Dillo or edit the file myself, I get the same problem.

Example of part of my file:

:s0: Unclassified
:s1: News
:s2: Bees
s0 www.tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/index/html Linux Documentation Proj.
s1 www.startribune.com Star Tribune
s1 www.thisweek-online.com ThisWeek Newspaper
s2 www.beesource.com Beesource

If, while in Dillo, I click the bookmarks symbol to open the bookmarks page, and then click on the Linux Documentation Proj, I get

"dpi:/bm/www.tldp.org/LDP/intro-linux/html/index/html"

I delete the "dpi:/bm/" hit enter and I go to the site.

Even if I hit the "X" symbol to completely clear the address window and then click my link, the system adds the wayward "dpi:/bm/"

This isn't a deal breaker for using Dillo, but I wish I knew what was happening.
I'm beginning to think the problem is in Dillo itself. Is this possible?
