Description of Problem: When I change the setting for url-viewers, Pine takes no notice: it still uses the setting from /etc/pine.conf. As I understand it, these settings should be overridable (only settings in /etc/pine.conf.fixed can't be overridden). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Pine, go to Setup>Config 2. Change url-viewers, e.g. to "opera" 3. View a URL. It still runs htmlview. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information: This bug has been around for a while.
By the way, a workaround for the bug is to specify opera in my .htmlviewrc, but that doesn't let me make htmlview open URLs in a new window. I've filed a separate feature request against htmlview for this.
This is not a bug. It is end user incorrectly configuring pine to use an alternative browser. The pine documentation is quite clear if you follow it to the letter. I myself encountered similar problems in the past until I read the documentation while creating the defaults that we have in the distribution right now. If you require assistance with configuration, please either read the documentation for pine, or join the pine-info mailing list as bugzilla is not a tech support forum, but a bug tracker, and this isn't a bug. Closing NOTABUG
Apologies for the noise, it was indeed my problem (the app needs to be specified with a full directory path). A pity that Pine doesn't give an error message in this case...
