Download Nvu 0.41

Lindows has released a new version of Nvu (pronounced: N-view). This program is a so-called Web Authoring System for both the Windows and Linux platforms and has to compete with programs such as FrontPage and Dreamweaver. Nvu is based on the Mozilla Composer code base and aims to be easy to use, even for the non-technical user. The changelog of the recently released 0.41 release shows the following changes:

Change Log

• based on Mozilla 1.7
• horizontal and vertical rulers allowing to resize all element with the mouse, including table columns and rows
• command line argument “nvu -edit ” is now accepted and functional
• HTML validator menu entry was not correctly calling an external browser to display W3C’s validator. This is now fixed and the result is shown inside Nvu itself.
• contextual menu on tabs allowing to close a tab or close all other tabs
• it’s now possible to create tables w/o default vertical or horizontal alignment
• window title was not updated when switching between two tabs, this is now fixed
• context-click on a toolbar now allows to customize the toolbar, like in Firefox and Thunderbird
• setting image size through Image Properties dialog was not working, this is now fixed
• switching between two tabs was losing the selection, this is now fixed
• new About dialog, à la Firefox and Thunderbird
• Document Inspector

Known Issues

• from time to time, Document Inspector does not list Nvu windows… No idea why. If that happens to you and you really need Document Inspector, open it from Nvu, then close your Nvu window, and open a new Nvu window selecting Window > Composer in Document Inspector. That’s certainly a bit of a hack, but that’s useful…[break]The following downloads are available:
