Fix the Help in Abiword and Homebank and the web links in many programs Help -> About

1. Gvfs should be installed

2. The weird part: FF seems to be the only browser that “sets itself as default browser” in the way that gvfs expects. Specifically, FF creates the directory /root/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers which contains the directories chrome, ftp, http, and https. It also needs to contain the directory file. The same thing is inside each of these directories, the file %gconf.xml. I recommend to just let FF set itself as default and then if it does not create the directory named file, just copy one of the others to that name. These folders and files are necessary.

If FF is the built-in browser then that should be all. If there is another built-in browser, say Seamonkey, then the %gconf.xml files should be edited to call seamonkey instead of FF.

Version 005 of Lucid has this working. Test at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=617026#617026

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucid has its own problems because there is no built-in browser. I created a kludge to handle that. It is not enough to edit the %gconf.xml to call defaultbrowser because depending on how FF is installed that could cause a loop. To handle whatever browser is installed I left /usr/lib/firefox/firefox in %gconf.xml and created a file /usr/lib/firefox/firefox as a script. If FF is installed in the default location by a pet then this script will be covered up and gvfs will work correctly. If FF is installed in the default location but as an sfs then the script is not covered up and it calls firefox-bin. If FF is installed in a non-standard location then the script calls defaultbrowser. If FF is not installed then the script calls defaultbrowser. Whew. No doubt someone can come up with something better. This file needs to be present for the kludge to work. And oh yes, the script needs to be persistent because if FF is sets itself as default browser and is then uninstalled, it leaves all of the business in /root/.gconf/desktop/gnome/url-handlers and so another browser would not work correctly. But these are problems because of Lucid's insistence on Browser Choice Wink

Code:
#!/bin/sh
# If Firefox is installed by a pet in the default location, this script will be covered up
# The script is necessary if FF is installed by an sfs in the default location or in a different location, ,
# in order to make gvfs default browser work in apps that use it to display Help
BROWSINSTALLED=`grep "exec" /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser|awk '{print $2}'`
if [[ $BROWSINSTALLED = firefox ]];then
   if [-a /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin];then
   USEBROWSER="/usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin"
   fi
   else USEBROWSER="/usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser"
fi

exec $USEBROWSER "$@"

i can run in the terminal.

Where can i run this script?

The second "script" to which you refer is not a script but a patch for C code. It is applied to the C source code with the "patch" program then the source code needs to be compiled.

Interesting jemimah, I might try it.

While you're patching glib, you might as well appy this patch too.

This makes mounted drives show up in file open dialogs.

Well it works! Abiword help, partial gnumeric help and partial homebank. I'm about to recompile homebank-4.4 so I'll see if I can hack away at the source and get it working. EDIT- yep, got it working in Homebank.

Thanks Smile

BTW, the patch I modded for Slacko, it has a slightly older glib..
