Created attachment 320621 [details] use xdg-open instead of htmlview Description of problem: xdg-open has some advantages over htmlview (and it will use htmlview as a fallback). I'll attach a patch, from Ville Skytta. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
ACK. If you don't have the patch handy - no matter, I already did the procedure in gmrun. - Gilboa
The patch is already attached...
I am not sure that I have commit rights, but if I have, can I rebuild icewm with the change?
Sorry. Didn't see it. Did you ask for commit rights? As far as I remember, I already tried using xdg-utils instead of htmlview, but one major obstacle: xdg-open must be called with URL (unlike htmlview), and as far as I know, about:empty is not cross-browser safe. Has it changed? - Gilboa
Created attachment 320839 [details] Fixed patch (Missing about:blank)
P.S. Seems that icewm-1.2.36 was released a couple of days ago. If indeed the "about:blank" is portable, it will push the fix together with the new version. - Gilboa
I think that about:blank is portable enough. It work in fedora, konqueror, dillo, links, epiphany, galeon and midori. It doesn't work in lynx and w3m. I am more concerned by about:blank being a real file. But seems portable enough to me.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Anything new here? icewm is the last package to use htmlview, and I'd like to propose retiring htmlview once you switch.
I'm trying to combine a couple of changes into a single package to reduce the number of releases. I'll do my best to push the package within the next 7 days (or so). - Gilboa
I finally managed to solve all the problems I had with the semi-mega-patch. I'll roll the updated package tomorrow morning. - Gilboa P.S. Patrice, sorry to see you leave. Thanks for the help (and the patience).
