The ZIP unpacking not into its own directory is a bad form of packaging. Also, you should mention the needed Java Runtime environment (found no information, neither on the webseite nor the readme in the zip).

It also totally ignores command line parameters, which is no wonder given the code taking the args is commented out!

Thanks for pointing out these issues. Sorry about the ZIP unpacking. I use a [desompression utility] which automatically creates a new directory, so I forgot about this issue. Another good point about the need for the JRE version to be mentioned, it's 1.3.0 for everything but the TGLBV1.03, for which will run under version 1.1.

Oh, and a great catch about the command line parameters being ignored. I disabled them to do some last minute testing, and I guess that I forgot to re-activate them. I'll be puttem them back in with a release of version 1.01.

[in response to a deleted question]

You need Java version at least 1.3.0

Also, you need to include the command line parameters in the call to the TGWikiBrowser?, making the call

... Now I have a question for unix/linux users. I would like to make a "batch" type file for the unix environment where executing that file would set up the classpath, and call the TGWikiBrowser?. I know that unix requires the executable flag to be set for a file to run. Can this flag be set with windows? Otherwise, do I just make a text file with the necessary lines, and assume that the unix user will change the permissions? Thanks --AlexShapiro

The button that i presume says "Find" is shortened to "Fi.." on my setup.

On two different machines (my linux machine and a solaris machine which was displaying through my linux machine), I got a strange problem when going to RecentChanges and then clicking on KnowledgeManagement?. The program beeped and then another (unrelated) window underneath TGWikiBrowser? came to the fore (but the TGWikiBrowser? did not close).

One time on my linux machine, java crashed and left [this error log]. I think all i had done was click on the link from the first page to RecentChanges, but i might have been fiddling with some control at the time.

Great tool. Unfortunately, my own Wiki has simple access control... Which fazes the browser. Is it possible to add authentication controls to the tool? (I guess I could do it, too. But I wanted to point out the need.) --MarcAntoineParent

When I last tried, the TGWikiBrowser? destroyed all german umlaut characters on a page when editing it. These characters are in the higher half of the 8Bit character set, while ASCII is in the lower half. Would be great to have an 8Bit-save version of the browser! -- LinuxWiki:ThomasWaldmann
