Description groovallegiance 2014-11-29 09:36:22 UTC 
Imported bookmarks are not stored by QtWeb and lost after restarting the browser. After a restart the browser shows its default bookmarks.

Patch correcting storage location for Unix systems

The problem is in function BrowserApplication::dataLocation()
in src/browserapplication.cpp, line 930. It tries to store application data in the folder of the application binary, on Unix-like systems that is /usr/bin which is not writeable for  normal users.
The patchsets the data location to ~/.local/share/data/QtWeb.NET/QtWeb\ Internet\ Browser/.
A deeeper cause for the problem could be that s_portableRunMode is set to true.
The patch remedies also the problem that preferences are stored in the temporary directory. On Unix-like systems that is /tmp, which is not guaranteed to survive a reboot. Preferences are now stored in ~/.local/share/data/QtWeb.NET/QtWeb\ Internet\ Browser/QtWeb.NET/QtWeb\ Internet\ Browser.ini
Comment 3 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2017-03-03 00:22:51 UTC 
Should this package better be removed? Still depends on highly vulnerable Qt4WebKit, does not look as if there is any upstream left to pick up the phone (and accept patches, for that matter).

Package removed.
