I changed this feature. The program reads the directory only after typed '/'.

It is ok now. The icon file was missing.

I never see that. Can you explain what we have to do to detect this problem.

I don't know this tag. What is it ?

I suppose that the error comes from a delete of something like Title or Body.
We added controls to prevent user to delete them.

To control Amaya font menu size add a line into .Xdefaults file :
amaya*FontMenuSize: 14
To control Amaya default document font size, use a CSS file :
$HOME/.amaya.css that includes the following line
BODY { magnification: 1}

Now it is possible.

Yes, we will change it in next release.

OK. It is a bug.

Yes you right.
