GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 116510
lazy loading server mode
Last modified: 2014-08-26 19:50:44 UTC
http://bugs.debian.org/196935 has a useful suggestion: Server mode is very handy on slow machines, such as mine. So a suggestion for an improvement: provide a facility whereby a galeon server is started when the first regular copy of galeon is invoked. This server copy could then optionally expire a certain while after the last copy of Galeon is closed. This would provide lazy, yet fast on repeated usage, loading of Galeon. The expire would make sure the server didn't hang around for ever. These options, to be useful, would probably have to be configurable in the user interface.
Galeon has not seen any code changes since May 2010: https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/galeon/log This project is not under active development anymore and got recently archived in GNOME Git. It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
