Re: No Service matching 'OpenURL'

[Patrick Cardona]

Hello,








I am attaching a basis of that work:

<GNUmakefile><openURLServiceInfo.plist><service.m>

Maybe you will find something obvious I am not able to see.

As we already discussed about the needed service to provide an openURL action, I tried to set some... - First stage: trying to get a working service to open an URL selected in a text. But it is not yet successful. I have not the error message, "Failed to contact service provider for 'Open URL'", but nothing happens when I use the menu "Services > Open URL".

Hello,

When I click on a web link from GNUMail... I note this behaviour:

1) The Chromium Web Browser is launching with a new blank tab;
2) An alert panel says: "No Service matching 'OpenURL'"


What am I missing to avoid this alert panel: a service?
(...)

3) When I close this panel, the clicked URL is finally opened in a new tab of Chromium.

Regards,
Patrick
