Open Containing Folder from Firefox

[n0ukf]

Under Windows, Firefox always knows how to open the containing folder a file was downloaded to. Why not under Lucid 528? Or does this apply to ALL linux versions?

What do I tell it to use?

Not sure I understand the problem/question.

Are you are having trouble clicking on an html extension file, and having it launch Firefox?

In the Firefox Downloads window (CTRL+SHIFT+Y) listing downloaded files, right-clicking a file and choosing Open Containing Folder. Firefox asks what application to open it with.

Between these two you should be able to get yourself sorted..

As like above, note the first comment..

String = /usr/local/bin/rox

I'm having trouble getting ROX-Filer to work with this, using network.protocol-handler.app.file (string) /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/ROX-Filer I'm getting an error window

File doesn't exist, or I can't access it: file:///root/my-documents/My%20Pictures/

What's wrong? The path exists!

Use the string Semme gave you, not the direct one to ROX-Filer:

String = /usr/local/bin/rox

I guess additionally you have to modify /usr/local/bin/rox script.
If there's:

Code: Select all

exec /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/AppRun "$@"

then modify it to:

Code: Select all

exec /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/AppRun "${@#*file://}"

as it is in newer Puppies with later ROX.
