Programming Links WWW Browser
For Isys/305 I am working on implementing the Links WWW Browser as default browser and file manager, now I have a question...
The browser is able to browse normal folders on the harddisk, but I want Links to treat them like FTP folders, and be able to actually use the files/programs that are in that folder. The language is C/C++ of course.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to work around this issue, or to implement something that enables Links to execute a program which is on the harddisk?
And yes, this looks a lot like Microsoft building Internet Explorer into Windows 98 lol.
And another thing... is there a way to build HTML files into a resource file so that I can access my documentation on Links from the menu?
I think links uses the mime types in /etc ... I think goingnuts implemented something similar in one version of pupngo. _________________ Puppy Web Desktop Now with pet packages - Pet Packaging 100 & 101
I want to be able that when I click a file inside Links... for example a executable, that the file is being executed, and not being opened by Links... so the question is... is this a configuration issue, or does it need bypassing with programming a workaround for it?

Maybe this option can help you: Menu > Setup > Associations.

Create a bookmark associated with your local file:
