Re: Tear 0.3 - Simple WebKit browser, now with Dashboard
 
Could anyone write a little how-to on how to make Tear the default browser using dbus-switchboard? To someone not used to its workflow, it's a fairly daunting enterprise. I'd really like links in Pidgin IM conversations to open in Tear, as well as searches from the search home applet.

I tried registering for an account (same username) but it seems I still haven't gotten the email to verify my account (I registered last afternoon).

Ah thanks tso, I've reported it. I should try other bookmarklets to see if they have a similar issue.

Humm, in this post, Bundyo claims it's doable, so maybe he has figured it out.

Here's a thought: Many of us owning an N810 right now will likely end up running Mer on it sooner or later, as the de-facto upgrade path from Diablo. Mer is presently using Midori as its default browser. Tear, however, is better, and designed for Maemo/Hildon from the ground up, whereas Midori is, IMHO, a pretty shaky port of a desktop app. Bundyo, have you thought about getting together with the Mer people and hammering out a collaboration to get Tear into Mer as its default browser?

Maybe this is a bug. On the website csusms.com, I can't type in the full account name, only 5 digits. MicroB works fine.

I'm planning to get it running on Mer, but hadn't talked with anyone yet and there's nothing set in stone.

I notice there's a "Port Tear" task listed in here, so it might be a good idea to get together to avoid duplicated efforts.

Bundyo, anything about the dbus-switchboard thing above? :)
