Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default

Because no one's voting, as far as I can see. If it gets enough votes to be unlocked, I'll push it into extras.

Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default

There was talk of making a custom icon at one point, though I doubt that's going to happen now. We also explored the possibility of changing the icon for "Web" depending on the default browser, but...

Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default

Maybe. If the application makes the D-Bus method call itself, we can get its PID (via org.freedesktop.DBus.GetConnectionUnixProcessID) and use that to identify the caller. If the application...

Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default

To everyone having problems opening links in Fremantle xterm (or other application) with Browser Switchboard installed, can you try installing the attached package and see if it works?

Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default

Yuck, really? That's the third different D-Bus path I've seen. File a bug against whatever applications are doing this; they should be using /com/nokia/osso_browser as the path.

That said, given...

Hm, that suggests something's different about what xterm is doing to open a link. I won't have time to look into this until the weekend, but can you run

Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default

Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default

Preloading MicroB also helps reduce startup time -- it's an approach used on most other mobile platforms. Doing that requires special support from the browser, and I don't anticipate that any of the...

Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default

You want the --url option:

Re: [Announce] Opera Mobile 11

Ovi Store appears to do UA sniffing for MicroB. (We have to handle the bookmark specially in Browser Switchboard for that reason.)

Re: Browser Switchboard - use any browser as the default

Anyone want to weigh in? If not, and if no one reports problems with the beta, I'll push a 3.3 final release with the current (3.3b2) behavior.
