I've installed tear-bookmarks from repo, do I also have to manually download the gz-file and expand it in my user folder?

You have to disable one of the other plugins!

I think most use personal-menu:

If you already installed tear-bookmarks AND know where it is (default seems to be /home/user/bookmarks) just call it in personal-menu's command-to-execute box when clicking to add the item ( CLICK + ICON > COMMAND), third box (DDBus) is not usually needed with most apps as in this case:

Edit personal-menu command is in the same menu, settings, where you find control-panel on the desktop after you install it. Also Control Panel > Panels: lets you stick it/move it on the desktop.

Nokia missed the boat on N7/8/9xx. They should have put million$ into it's R&D and specially Tear like winners. But big corps are blind bureaucratic dinosaurs.

BTW on all handhelds, the screen should cover the whole area with the speakers at top center rim and popping up if needed. I predicted the web as a kid, HD MP3s, dirt cheap micro-projectors (coming now) and more. Next? Rolll up screens and watch-sized computers. After that? I researched it at university, when I was still interested in computers that is, but you'll just have to wait and see. If they let you have it which I doubt. :cool:

Meanwhile, Nokia's too late, junky XP's is here:

This is getting out of hand. If someone wants to discuss what Nokia is up to, please do it in different thread. And please remember that Tear is just an interface to WebKit. Thank you in advance.

Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard

For a few dollars? I get it, sad & petty. However I value freedom of expression and being a man.

"In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious."
