This is on Linux, Mandriva 2010.0 x86_64 and a 64-bit build I made from 2.0.1 sources by following instructions @ mozilla.org -> https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Simple_SeaMonkey_build
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv: 1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091216 SeaMonkey/2.0.1 NOT Firefox/3.5.4 The following is copy/paste from the mozillazine forum, so I hope it comes through ok. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=8692165#p8692165 I click on a link to pdf in the browser. For example: http://www.gp.com/build/documentViewer.aspx?repository=BP&elementid=6947 I get the 'Opening xxxx.pdf' dialog box: You have chosen to open xxxx.pdf which is a: PDF document from: http:xxxxx What should SeaMonkey do with this file? O Open with [Browse...] O FlashGot [...] O Save File [] Do this automatically for files like this from now on. Settings can be changed in SeaMonkey's Preferences. I want this to open in acroread (Adobe pdf reader), so I browse to the executable, select it, and check "Do this automatically...." Next time I click on a pdf link, I get the same dialog box. I looked in Helper Applications of the browser Preferences and 'use acroread' is listed. There is an "Application Details..." choice in the drop- down menu and that shows the full path to this program, /usr/bin/ acroread. I think it's a matter of the construction of the url for the pdf. A random link to a pdf form @ irs.gov http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4.pdf just opened automatically in acroread for me, while the cited link http://www.gp.com/build/documentViewer.aspx?repository=BP&elementid=6947 contains some sort of scripty-looking thingamajig or other: documentViewer.aspx?repository=BP&elementid=6947 Still, it would be nice if something could be done in the browser to avoid having to go through the process of specifying a download spot or the executable for this type of url; for one thing, /usr/bin is quite large and takes significant time to load in the dialog file chooser. Thanks for a great suite! _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
