I have installed this new version three times. Using your faq.html was more straightforward. When I tried it by hand, I failed. I have taken the liberty to edit a copy of org-annotation-helper.el in my git repository of org-mode. I have tried to clarify the explanation of how to get this tool running. When I figure out how to make a patch, I will attempt that. Meanwhile, the explanation for Firefox 3 can use some clarifcation, as follows:
;; Step 3: Browser set-up - add the protocol handlers for the ;; "remember://" and "annotation://" URIs. ;; ;; [Firefox] ;; ;; To add a protocol handler (eg: remember://) in Firefox, take the ;; following steps: ;; ;; * For Firefox 2 and 3, type "about:config" in the location bar. ;; ;; [What happens in Firefox 2?] ;; ;; * In firefox 3, you will will receive a warning: you will have to ;; click on "I'll be careful, I promise!" A screen will appear with a ;; list of ;; ;; Right click on the screen anywhere to get the pop-up menu. ;; Select New --> String. ;; A window will appear titled "New String Value". ;; You are asked to "Enter the preference name." ;; In the field enter "network.protocol-handler.app.remember". ;; The window appears again, with a title "Enter String Value." ;; A text message says "network.protocol-handler.app.remember" with a ;; blue diamond to the left with a "?" (question mark). ;; Enter as the value, the name of the shell script. In GNU/Linux is ;; unnecessary to include the path. ;; ;; * Lather, rinse, repeat for the annotation protocol. The string to ;; add is, in this case, "network.protocol-handler.app.annotation", ;; The value will be the same script name as above, "org-annotation-helper". ;; ;; [I am uncertain what the next means. Does this mean you HAVE TO ;; use a file selection protocol to navigate to the script? Does it ;; mean that you can OPTIONALLY edit the about:config list, or that this is ;; the appropriate next action?] ;; ;; | In Firefox 3, when you first click on the button associated with ;; | the bookmarklet, you should get a pop-up asking if you'd like to ;; | associate the bookmarklet with a particular file. Use the ;; | file-select process to navigate to the org-annotation-helper ;; | script and select it. You can still edit the about:config ;; | list directly as in Firefox 2. ;; ;; * the value should be the name of the file containing the shell ;; script, e.g. in Step 1, we called it "org-annotation-helper". ;; At least under Linux this does not need to be the full path to ;; the script. ;; ;; ;; You should have two new entries like this: ;; ;; network.protocol-handler.app.annotation user set string <path> ;; network.protocol-handler.app.remember user set string <path> ;; ;; where <path> is the location where org-annotation-helper is ;; for example, in my case it is /home/dmg/bin/org-annotation-helper ;; See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol for more details. ;; I don't know the procedure for Firefox 2, but perhaps they should be clearly differentiated, or not at all. I, at least, need the extra clarification, as I stumbled over the instructions every time I have installed org-annotation-helper, version 0.3 and version 0.4. The package you provided as an attachment to the list is far easier to install, and less problematical. I suggest, once again, that in contrib, this entire package would best be included under packages. Thank you for this package. It works.
