Um, no? It should just work. IAT only lets you supply the path to the
edit command, so it must pass the file as an argument - it seems to for
my setup.
That's what I would have thought.
You're certain the script gets not arguments - you're echoing
$# and $* ?
My script, exactly:
#! /bin/sh
export DISPLAY=padev054:0.1
echo "Options:" "$@" > $HOME/tmp/firefoxVim.log
$HOME/gnu/i686/bin/gvim -f "$@"
Having pressed the edit button, the vim window is open:
$ cat ~/tmp/firefoxVim.log
Options:
$ ps -ef | egrep -i vim
jakan 20652 17342 0 09:57 pts/4 00:00:00 /bin/sh
/home/team02/jakan/bin/firefoxVim
jakan 20655 20652 0 09:57 pts/4 00:00:00
/home/team02/jakan/gnu/i686/bin/gvim -f
(My script is in $HOME/bin/firefoxVim.)
FWIW: firefox is running on a Linux 2.6.9 kernel (Redhat, I
think) on an Intel based PC. The X Server (machine padev054) is
a Sun Sparc under Solaris 2.8, and I've got synergy managing the
keyboard and the mouse (server on the Sparc). Off hand, I don't
see how any of that could make a difference (except maybe the
machine on which firefox is running). Firefox is version
2.0.0.1 (en-US version), and It's All Text! is version 0.3.3.
I have no idea where to start looking beyond that. For the
moment, I'm still copy/pasting, as I did before.

That's surprising.
After a few more trials: it doesn't completely hang, but some
things don't work. In particular, If you try to close the
window, it doesn't close.
