Hi Samuel (you never sign your mails, so do not know if you prefer "Sam"...)
this is a reasonable request, and I have just implemented it. Note, however, that it only applies to "file:" links, as detailed in my previous message. - Carsten On Nov 4, 2008, at 8:43 PM, Samuel Wales wrote:
Summary: C-u C-u to force opening in an external application. Detail: My ideal settings for opening links would by default have org-open-at-point and org-open-at-point-global open everything in emacs except for anything that makes little sense to open in emacs, such as PDF (whether http:// or a local filename). This would include html pages on the web, which I want opened in emacs-w3m by default. Then, for cases where that does not work, C-u would open in emacs always. C-u C-u would open in external always. "External" here means the OS default (e.g. the "open" command in OS X). That way, when I know that I want something different, I can force it. (An alternate design is to reverse the sense of what org-file-apps says. But then you have to think about what the default is and decide whether to reverse it. This seems an unnecessary cognitive burden.) This seems not to be possible now. If I set most things to open in Emacs, I think that there is no way to open it in the OS default. Is that correct? _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
