Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: YES

The major compelling feature IMO is the ability to edit/configure the search engines from the text entry box in the toolbar. The author maintains an truly excellent page listed hundreds of engines to use.

However, the function is quite buggy, even in this version. I keep getting an "AppleScript Error" that it can not "get text item 3 of... ending in code (-1728). It then opens my list, but lops off 4 or 5 items that are in my list.

Upon occasion, it can completely wipe all addresses one has added if you try and add something manually.

The only troubleshooting tip documented has to do with space characters in addresses... I know all about "@amp" so that is not an issue.

My vote is for attention to this, please!

Why don't you... - nadamac

start with a fresh list? it's obvious that your current list is damaged in any way.
btw: the encoding is "&" and not "@amp"

Why don't you... - paulc

Ooops, a mistype I didn't catch!

Actually, I have done that before... but I decided to try again. I had some really odd things happen along the way, until I figured out exactly what that editor was doing (i.e. the ONLY way to really start from scratch was to toss both "de.nada.cep.x" pref files and the SearchURLLIst.plist file while Camino was shut down). I add in a bunch of cep files plus 2 that I manually add and everything is fine (I tested the 2 manually added ones by doing only those then testing).

If I add all cep files and the 2 manual ones all at once, everything is fine. BUT, if I try and re-open the editor, I get that AppleScript error and it lops off about 1/3 of my entries.

It would be fine... - nadamac

if you could send me the two files
- de.nada.cep.config.txt
- de.nada.cep.search.plist
out of your preferences folder.

maybe I can find out why it doesn't work for you as expected.

thanx
