  Software - Chimera Custom - Patches

These are my customizations to Chimera, in patch form. The license is that of Chimera.

The (patchname)_bundle.tgz file generally has in it:

  • (patchname).txt
  • (patchname).patch
  • (patchname).(binary files).tgz
In any case, the .txt file should explain them.

  • viewsourceexternal - View source in an external application; internal view-source respects cmd-click preference.
  • savestate - auto/manual save/load window state.
  • bookmarkwindowstyle - Bookmarks, Home, and Search respect the same window choice (new window, new tab, reuse current) as loading a URL requested by another application.
  • focuswindow - Shift-Cmd-L returns keyboard focus to the window from URL bar.
  • confirmonquit - Ask for confirmation from user before quitting.
  • windowonrestore - Suppress opening a new window on restore.
  • customprefpane - The Preference Pane that can turn all these features on and off.
  • custom_mega - The v1.4 Mega patch, used to build Chimera Custom Made by applying all these patches: viewsourceexternal, savestate, bookmarkwindowstyle, focuswindow, confirmonquit, windowonrestore, customprefpane.
    This was created against a 1/6/2003 checkout.
Stand-alone or experimental patches:
  • proxytoggle - Adds a toggle to ignore proxy settings to the View menu and the Toolbar

For some things I learned while attempting these, which should help you if you want to work on Chimera, especially if you want to contribute patches back to the Chimera team, see my Development Tips page. Please note that any readme.txt or license.txt in the Software package take precendence over the information above.
