Re: KDE and Mozilla 1.2

2002-12-16 Thread Matt Tesauro
I know this is a bit late but I just found out about this feature of Mozilla 
in the recent Linux Magazine article.  Apparently Moz on *nix's can connect 
to currently running Mozilla processes.  From the Moz web site:
quote
 When Netscape Navigator is invoked with the -remote argument, it does not 
open a window, but instead connects to and controls an already-existing 
process. The argument to the -remote switch is an Xt action to invoke, with 
optional arguments.
 Remote control is implemented using X properties, so the two processes 
need not be running on the same machine, and need not share a file system.
...
Example usage:
  mozilla -remote openurl(http://www.mozilla.org)
/quote
(quote from http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html)
Particularly interesting are openURL (URL, new-window) and openURL (URL, 
new-tab).  
 This may not solve your problem, but may provide a decent work around.  I 
added a new item with K Menu Editor and used the command 
/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla -remote openurl(http://business.tamu.edu, 
new-window) instead of /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla.  This will open a new 
window if Moz is already running.  Unfortunately, if Moz isn't running, you 
get a No running window found. error (from the command line)  If you wanted 
to get fancy, you could write a shell script that check if Moz was running or 
not and make the correct call...

 Hi there.. Sorry if this seems a bit off topic but I'm having rather big

 Most annoyingly when I click the panel buttons to start one of the
 components of mozilla and I already have one of the components open then
 mozilla refuses to open the new component saying the profile is in use.

 I am using KDE 3.0.4

 Is anyone else seeing this?

This is the standard Mozilla behavior. It has always acted this way.
Just push Ctrl+N for a new window.

Only Konq will lauch into a new process if you click its icon with
another instance already in the memory.

Whether this is desirable or not is another question.

I have Mozilla-1.0.0 here and everything works fine (no such message as you 
describe it).
Maybe the --remote option (see mozilla --help, actually, that should be the 
first place to look!) can help and even worked with Netscaped 4.7x. I wrote 
myself a script to enable 'normal' behaviour with that option. And simply 
opening another window is surely more sane than a stupid error message.

BTW: wasn't the topic here debian-kde?
