Website changes

There have been two changes to the HPR website in May:

  • The tags for a show are now being displayed in the header of each show page

  • A fault in the comment display code, which resulted in comments containing the percent sign (%) not to be displayed, has been corrected.

Tags and Summaries

Thanks to Windigo for sending in updates in the past month.

Over the period tags and/or summaries have been added to 2 shows which were missing them.

Comment #1 posted on 2018-06-15 14:24:50 by clacke

The group of the tab is in the windowing (of it)

I've never looked into tab grouping, because what I do, if my tabs start becoming unwieldy, is that I drag one of them out of the window, and it becomes a new window. I may drag other tabs into that new window if they belong together.

You people who use tab grouping, do you do this as well, giving you two-dimensional tab grouping, or does grouping replace multiple windows?

Comment #2 posted on 2018-06-15 15:53:46 by Dave Morriss

I don't use multiple windows

In my case I use tab groups to keep useful and related web sites together to make "context switching" simpler. For example, in Pale Moon I have a group per HPR series or project, and when I'm in the mood to prepare a new HPR show I run it on my right-hand monitor with Gvim on the left.

I usually have Vivaldi, Chromium and IceWeasel running on different XFCE desktops as well, and all of these have pinned tabs so I can easily visit various HPR pages, the most used pages on my local MediaWiki instance, GitLab, GitHub, archive.org, Telegram groups, and so on.

It's probably (barely) organised chaos, but I like it ;-)
