Comment 2 for bug 480182

Hi pauljohn,

The reason that you have to choose between two identical strips is
because of the way that the applet has to guess what part of the XML
feed actually contains the comic. For some comics, the link to image is
not even present in the feed, but you have to download an HTML page and
parse it.

Have you tried selecting both strips from the configuration program? If
one does not work, the other one might.

With the Comics! applet, it is possible to select the comic of a
different date. Simply right click on the comics, select "Go to" (the
actual wording of this menu item might differ; I use a Swedish version
of Gnome) and click on the date you want to read.

The ability of the Dilbert applet to download a higher resolution image
is unfortunately not present in Comics!. The RSS feed that the newer
applet uses only provides low resolution images.
