Expected behaviour

It should open all pages in tabs. This is use full for me to have file with all news URLs and load it form script.

Actual behaviour

Falkon failed open dozen URLs from command line with one command. But this should be handled according to failkon -h result.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Just try command: falkon https://kresy.pl/ https://kopalniawiedzy.pl/wiadomosci https://www.youtube.com/user/OpcjaSpoleczna/videos https://defence24.pl/ https://www.altair.com.pl/ https://kaosx.us/news https://pointieststick.com/2019/10/13/this-week-in-kde-plasma-5-17-approaches/ https://www.qt.io/blog http://www.benchmark.pl/kategoria/systemy-operacyjne-pc.html https://www.linuxinsider.com/perl/section/linux-developer/ https://www.linuxtoday.com/ http://apollo-core.com/knowledge.php https://exec.pl/ https://www.ppa.pl/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5Dq2HfS7IbF67qPnAuA5w/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/SPInkafilmstudio/videos

So this is a packaging bug? Or have you checked upstream whether Falkon can actually handle this?

SzykCech4 commented 4 years ago

What do you mean by "packaging bug"? I don't "checked upstream" just have use it for a week since I installed KaOS. I wrote just what I encounter when I customize options to my needs and preferences.

SzykCech4 commented 4 years ago

I report this bug here because I found this site and notice that no body from KDE answer since few days.

demmm commented 4 years ago

Falkon is not developed by KaOS, KaOS only packages what upstream (Falkon developers) releases. If this is not reported anywhere upstream or other distros, then it must be a packaging issue (how KaOS builds/handles the dependencies).

demmm commented 4 years ago

So far can't find if this is supported in Falkon/QtWebEngine. Even for Chrome it is not an option, unless you install some extension, so I really doubt this is supported, looks like the -h output just refers to the fact, that you choose urls. Will mark as upstream, unless the KDE (upstream) bug report indicates otherwise.

Argumenty:
  URL                          URLs to open

Consider last line: URLs to open - this is exactly what I want to do. I want open all my pages (URLs) stored in text file by external script. But now it opens all of them in the same tab (so only last of them is fully loaded and finaly visible). This is feature bug. It should open all pages (URLs) in separate tabs.

This is especially important from user point of view because he/she can's open all pages from right click menu on the bookmark group node. I prefer open all my pages from the separate script because this way:

I open them faster.
I can gain control over my URLs (I can backup them with rest of my files) - this is real problem - lost bookmarks with instal/reinstal systems.
I can use power of my mind.
I can use Linux power.

Of course open all URLs by right click on the bookmark grouping node is standard browser feature since years, and it is pity that Falcon can't do it. Other pity is that it does not allow to create custom bookmark groups (but as I wrote: I prefer scripts over clicking). Any way I like Falcon and use it daily.

Yes, I know the Falkon help file, again, can't find any ref to this being possible, so only option now is to wait for an answer from the Falkon developers.

demmm commented 3 years ago

Closing as won't fix, Falkon no longer has a maintainer. Not a KaOS bug.
