11/3 Does Firebird have an "AutoFill" extension like the new google toolbar?
\_ Can you describe the feature in more detail, so those of us who
love Firebird so much that we won't run anything else (and are lazy)
have an idea of what you're talking about? :)
\_ i've got yer autofill extension right here pal
\_ I don't know what are you talking about, are you talking about
URL auto-completion on things you've typed up in the past? and/or
stuff that you've searched in the past? my firebird version 0.6
on Windoze has this nasty bug which crash on auto-fill once a while.
\_ 0.7 is much more stable, well worth the upgrade.
\_ Sorry for the ambiguity (i use firebird 0.7 but miss google's auto
fill feature). It's like http://Gator.com spyware... basically, it can
auto fill your name, address, phone, zip, etc into forms w/ a
single mouse click.
\_ firebird can remember things that you filled out in forms in
the past, and will let you auto-fill them in, but on a field-
at-a-time basis. Does the google feature fill in the whole
form? (that would seem fairly difficult, given the differences
between forms/labels/etc)
\_ yes, google can do it all at once. so how does firebird
do its version of auto-fill?
\_ Mozilla has a googlebar plugin. I never got it work on my
version of firebird. May be you would have better luck.

\_ I use the googlebar, which rocks, but it doesn't have this
feature. Also, the auto-fill is quite different from
firebird's autofill. firebird's autofill is specific to the
site, where google's works cross-site (it's pretty good).
\_ i am using Mozilla and very happy. What's different about
firebird? It's ironic that Netscape got better when it no longer
has a big company over it...
\_ I think you need to check your definition of ironic. When
was the last time you saw a piece of software from a big company
that was remarkably better than the open source equivalent?
\_ LOL. is that a joke? are you really that out of touch with
reality?
\_Apache, gcc, kde, gnome, vim, g-emacs, mySQL, perl, bash...
\_ Play any open source games lately? Oh wait, I guess you
think GNU chess is just as good a game as Diablo II. |
