That behavior (and the resulting file content) are *system-specific*. Under Win7, dragging a favicon to a folder creates a ".URL" file (as compared with your ".webloc" file). > When you doubleclick on that file, firefox opens a new tab and opens the > website. That also works just fine. Same here. > In the tiddler, the file also shows up fine. When I click on it, firefox > opens a new tab and this error shows up: Under Win7/Firefox, when you click on the .URL file from the ShowLocalDirectory output, FireFox successfully opens the URL, as expected. I think the problem is that OSX creates an XML-bearing ".webloc" file that FireFox doesn't know how to open *natively*. When you double- click from the icon on your system, I'll bet that the system is doing something to extract the URL from the file and launch the browser, rather than just handing the file content directly to the browser. Thus, it works when double-clicking, but not when linked from within the browser. Try this experiment: take your .webloc file, and drag-n-drop it onto an empty Firefox window... what happens? Does it load the URL, or give an XML error? -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
