[Android]why can't "text reflow" be fixed instead of using the unreliable broken "text inflation"?

text inflation as a desktop-to-mobile-view conversion doesn't work, and can never be fixed.
it will always either fail to make important parts of websites readable, or completely unhinge them.
opera mini, opera mobile(now classic) and opera for android show how well "text reflow" works for desktop pages on mobile devices.
before the opera mobile EOL I never needed mobile versions of pages.
firefox for android already has a text reflow feature, but it is hidden away and unusable because of 2 easily fixable problems.
1. "text inflation", it's completely unnecessary to require enlarged text in order to reflow but with this feature disabled(text to smallest size) there is no reflow.
2. "fixed zoom", currently double-tap zooming will always put the text fullscreen(which on a desktop layout is still too small)
a "fixed zoom" option that always zooms a set % regardless of where you double-tap should allow zooming in to a level where text is readable and should force "text reflow" to reflow text to screen-width.
so why are we still stuck with either messy or unreadable text on desktop pages?

you seem to have missed the point of my post.
firefox has 2 methods to make desktop pages readable on phones, "text reflow" and "text inflation".
text reflow is disabled by default and doesn't work properly because of a few unchangeable settings, even though it is proven to be a very effective and reliable method to make desktop pages work on phones by opera's browsers.
and text inflation is broken because it can never accurately determine what can and can't be inflated.
and my question is why we're still stuck with using text inflation when text reflow is a much better option?

  • Is it possible to have list of subscribers so I can send bulk email to them instead of using the notification pane?

    Hi Guys,
    Is it possible to have list of subscribers to my magazine so I can send bulk email to them instead of using the push notification medium.
    I await your prompt feedback.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    I think there are two options for this. Unfortunately, neither option will gather details for every user.
    Have your own Direct Entitlement server and control your user base yourself. In this case, you will have all user data and can extract their email addresses and send them email directly.
    When a user buys an iTunes Subscription, they are prompted to “Allow publisher to see you personal data?” (or a similar phrase). In your Apple iTunes Connect there is a report that returns details on all subs who have pressed the “Allow” button. These user details include the users email address.
    Thanks,
    David

  • Why can't I print to a Zebra 2746e using the report tool kit?

    I have read on here how peoople have printed barcodes from LV by sending commands directly to a zebra printer. I am using LV8.2.1 on a windows xp computer. I am sending EPL2 messages to the printer using the report tool kit, but all I get is a couple of line feeds. If I send the commands from a command prompt by coping a test file to the printer port it prints fine. Any thoughts. I have attached my program.

    I tried your code against my printer and it works as advertised. Can you print to other printers with it?
    By the way, when assembling a string you should use the Format Into String function instead of a string concatenator with a bunch of inputs. It takes up less room and is easier to interpret when troubleshooting.

  • In Elements 12 why can't I suddenly not reposition layers without using the layer panel?

    In Elements 12 I have always been able to drag photos from the bin onto a background and easily move them or alter them simply by clicking on those photo/slayers while working on the same background without using the layer panel.  A couple days ago I suddenly have to show the layer panel and click on that particular layer in the panel before I am able to move, alter, or delete a particular layer. Also, every time I open a new image or blank file to use as a background, I am suddenly working with a locked background which I don't want, and the directions to un-lock don't seem to work, if that has something to do with it.  I didn't change any settings that I know of.

    For editing purposes, the thrust of the program is to work in layers, and to do that it is necessary to have the layers palette in view so that the appropriate layer can be made the active layer.
    The background layer is locked by default. You can probably drag the padlock to the trash can, or, do your work on a duplicate layer which will come in unlocked.
    Try dragging photos from the layers palette to the work area, not up from the photobin to the work area.
    Also, go to Edit>Preferences>General and be sure that "Allow Floating Documents in Full Edit Mode" is checked.

  • Why can't I enlarge fonts on pages by using my track pad?

    Why can't I enlarge fonts on pages by using my track pad? Please Help!!!!

  • Why can't I edit photos that I saved from the internet?

    I'm completely new to this, so dumb it down as much as is possible. I am working on setting up a webpage and have had to manually go into the client's old web page and save any images on there. Now when I open them up in photoshop, it won't let me edit them, for some reason or another.
    I can't cut them out of a background, change the colors, add text or do anything to change the layer. All the layers are locked!!!
    Am I missing something? Do I need to save it as a certain file type? It keeps telling me to rasterize it, but 1. I don't know what that is and 2. when I go to Layer>Rasterize, it doesn't work anyway.
    Skip the part where you make fun of me because I'm sure this is a real dummy mistake, and just get to the part where you tell me how to fix it!
    I'm working with CS4 versions.
    Thanks!

  • In my group text one of my friends texts is pink while everyone else has the standard black text. Why is this?

    in my group text my friend has pink text while everyone else has the standard black text. why is this?

    Hi,
    You can change it in several ways.
    In Messages > Preferences > Viewing you can change your outgoing background (Balloon) colour, which then gives you access to change the Font and it's text colour.
    This works Mac to Mac in Messages using any service (iMessages, AIM, Jabber, Bonjour and yahoo).
    iMessages users on iOS devices will not see it as it does not do coloured Balloons  (the App only colours your outgoing ones to tell you if it is SMS or iMessages but does not send the colour)
    You can also change individual IMs or iMessages by using the Format menu (Show Font and Show Colours)
    And as Eric says there is the Keyboard/Contextual Menu method.
    As lots of yours are "white" I presume this is iMessages on several iPhones and one computer.
    iChat (the forerunner to Messages used to attribute random colours to incoming IMs in a group chat so they (people) looked different.
    This can't be done in Messages 7 and 8

  • Why can't I delete music from my iphone using itunes match anymore?

    I thought for sure I used to be able to swipe to delete albums or tracks on my iphone - on my iphone 5 I can no longer do this. I found that if I turn itunes match off, I can delete. But turning itunes match on and off a lot is really a huge issue. It seems every time I do this the iphone loses track of some of the music.
    Why why why can't these problems be fixed?!

    Awful, awful awful.
    Apple ... what were you thinking, and why did you mess up your product so badly?
    Why are you screwing over those who are the most devoted, who paid for an extra?
    Really.  Could this be more frustrating:
    You download a great new album!
    You want to listen to it on your iPhone!
    Oh wait, your iPhone is full.  Over capacity.  AND YOU SPEND AN HOUR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET SONGS OFF YOUR IPHONE, reading every forum and every trick to somehow make the product work the way it should.  Trying to clear some space for that great new album you just got!
    But it still doesn't.
    ... frustrated, you end up deleting the whole library.  Because there seems to be no other way to clear space.
    And re-download.
    But "use cellular data" is back on, so it downloads when you're out.
    And your phone bill is now $300 because you live in Canada and the data caps are so low.
    Great.  Now I paid over $350 to get my music I already own onto the phone.
    At this point, the old USB seems like a better option.  Or even the firewire 400.  Longing for the days of my 10 gig iPod with a FireWire cable.
    Thanks. So much for "positive user experience".
    Easy to buy music, hard to get it on to your device.  But as long as I've already given you my money, who cares right?!

  • Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?

    Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?
    I had a very difficult time getting my new HP Officejet Pro 8620 functioning as well as it does now.  I just tried scanning something as editable text for the first time and it ended up being scanned as a pdf.  At one point in my various tries there was a note on the printer screen that I did not have the HP OCR software installed.
    This may be because the resolution to my installation problems with the HP Officejet Pro 8620 seems to have been reverting to operating with the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package instead of the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg installation package.
    I do not, therefore, have the HP Scan application on my computer now which is where HP says its OCR software can be found.
    So what I'm afraid of is that I'm now running well with the HP-Apple driver but if I do go back and install the HP Officejet Pro v12.32.0 driver software with the HP installer, in order to access the OCR softwware in HP Scan application, I'll mess up everything else.
    Is there any chance that the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package I have installed also includes OCR software?  If so where can I find instructions for activating it and using it with the HP 8620's scanner?
    Or can I only get OCR capability with the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package?
    Any experience with this?  Should I leave well enough alone?  Or can I somehow install the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package without messing up my current functionality?
    Thanks
    Steve

    The printer driver that is installed automatically from Apple doesn't scan. The scanner part can be accessed through Image Capture, but I don't think that does any OCR on the scan. You'd need a separate program. As you noted, many of the bundled software programs have OCR built-in (albeit limited). From my experience, that is only activated when you scan to "searchable" PDF or something similar. You would then have to extract the text from the PDF.
    I don't have an HP printer/scanner, so take this all with a grain of salt.
    If you can just install the Scanner utilities, that shouldn't affect the printer portion.
    Your other option would be to purchase separate OCR software. Unless you need to scan lots of documents into text, you should further investigate installing the HP scan utilities.

  • Why can't I create a gallery in iPhoto in the normal way who in the past? If I sent the gallery to another the pictures are deleted!

    Why can't I create a gallery in iPhoto in the normal way who in the past? If I sent the gallery to another the pictures now will be deleted!

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

  • Why can´t  I find my 5d Mark ii in the finder when I connect it with my mac?

    Why can´t  I find my 5d Mark ii in the finder when I connect it with my mac?

    Because it is not a mass storage device that would appear in the Finder. It uses the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) to interface with a computer. It can be accessed using an application that uses PTP, such as Image Capture, iPhoto, Aperture, or Canon's software. These applications also support more camera-specific features than the Finder would, such as tethered shooting and possibly camera clock synchronization.

    Thanks, that makes sense.  If I do a search in IPhoto I find it.  I have 6 grand children and also have had my camera for quite awhile and it starts file names over again after 10,000 pictures. (I don't have all these on the computer) but now I have some files with the same name  ie  img_4   and img_4

  • HT201272 why can't I re-download already purchased music from the itunes store?

    why can't I re-download already purchased music from the itunes store?

    What country are you in ? Re-downloading music isn't currently possible in all countries (the record companies need to agree to it for each country). If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded, then if the tracks are still in the store then they should show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.
