gBrowser Help: Frequently Asked Questions

Note: gBrowser's help is wildly out of date. It may still be somewhat useful however, so here it is.

1. Is gBrowser a universal binary? Is it compatible with Leopard?
Since version 1.6, gBrowser is a universal binary and is in fact ONLY compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 and later; previous versions of OS X are no longer supported.
2. Where does gBrowser store its thumbnails? How much disk space do they take?
Thumbnails are stored by gBrowser in an image file's resource fork. This does not touch the actual image data (which is stored in the data fork). Each thumbnail takes up a tiny bit of disk space that is usually negligible compared to the size of the image itself. If you wish to remove these thumbnails, you can use gBrowser's "Strip Resource Forks" option.
3. gBrowser ate my hard drive and regurgitated a steaming mass of superconducting magnetic goo. How much can I sue you for?
Reread the license agreement. And patent that superconducting magnetic goo, it's probably worth something.
4. Sometimes alias filenames are italicised and sometimes they aren't, depending on what font I use. Why?
Simply, some fonts have italic (or oblique) versions and some don't. For example, click on the Lucida Grande font family in the Font Panel; you will see "Regular" and "Bold" versions in the Typeface column, but sadly no italic. Other fonts, such as Arial, may come in Regular, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic (or numerous others).
