There definitely seems to be an issue in MacOSX when trying to call external applications to View/Open/Edit files fetched by Firefox.
Read this message below at the Forum of the Web Developer Firefox extension, whose 'View Source With', 'Edit CSS' and 'Edit HTML' features are not longer working: (BTW, TextWrangler is the "lite" version of BBedit) "i used the "view source in application" feature, a lot, with bbedit. it is important to note that bbedit has its commend line tools, which it installs @ /usr/bin/bbedit, which basically reroute input to the actual application. because i grew quite attached to the feature, and as a bit of an experiment, i disassembled the webdeveloper extension jar, and figured out that the code to call the app is in (as you know) the function WebDeveloperApplication.prototype.launchWithFile = function() via a series of tinkering iterations (i am not a firefox developer, so this was a learning exp.), i eventually got view sourceto work for bbedit But only *AS LONG AS I USED the command-line tool for bbedit.* if i tried to use the regular application directly, it still does not work. within the function, i changed the behavior to use nsIProcess, instead of the "launchWithFile" method that is currently being used. if you want a copy of the method code i cobbled together, contact me directly and i can email it to you." http://chrispederick.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2308 -- On May 13, 7:28 pm, Jan Odvarko <[email protected]> wrote: > On 13 kvě, 08:02, BigFoot <[email protected]> wrote:> Afraid it's not > working for me. > > Could you please report a bug with a simple focused test case (steps > to reproduce)http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/list > I'll fix it. > > > I googled the issue and there are tons of people having the same > > problem and no one seems to know the answer. > > Nothing in the documentation either.
