[Bug 980466] Re: URL handler does not work correctly in Firefox after registering in gconf
Hi WenLong Feng, A Lotus Notes user opened the following bug which explains what should be updated: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-utils/+bug/788673 Some further detailed instructions are here: http://jarrpa.net/2011/10/28/creating-custom-url-handlers-in- ubuntu-11-04-11-10-gnome-3-0/ Those articles say you should update the /usr/share/applications/LotusNotes8.5.desktop file (part of the ibm-lotus-notes package): 1. Add an entry: MimeType=x-scheme-handler/notes 2. Ensure Exec= line has a %u at the end However, the LotusNotes8.5.desktop already uses a variable at the end of the Exec line so a separate file just for url handling as the user suggests in the bug mentioned above. e.g. Create /usr/share/applications/LotusNotes8.5-url.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Lotus Notes 8.5 Type=Application Exec=/opt/ibm/lotus/notes/framework/../notes %u Icon=/opt/ibm/lotus/notes/framework/shared/eclipse/features/com.ibm.notes.links.feature_8.5.3.20110916-0921/icons/notes.ico Terminal=false MimeType=x-scheme-handler/notes Categories=Application;Office; NoDisplay=true This also uses "NoDisplay=true", this stops the desktop file displaying in the menus or dash as there is already the LotusNotes8.5.desktop one there for that. After run: # sudo update-desktop-database This bug is now marked invalid, as the change needs to take place within your .desktop files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gconf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980466 Title: URL handler does not work correctly in Firefox after registering in gconf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gconf/+bug/980466/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 980466] Re: URL handler does not work correctly in Firefox after registering in gconf
Thanks Sebastian. Hi WenLong FENG, As Sebastian mentions, GNOME3 uses mimetypes instead of gconf for determining url handlers. The changes went into Firefox to support this here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611953 I'll knock up an example for you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gconf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980466 Title: URL handler does not work correctly in Firefox after registering in gconf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gconf/+bug/980466/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
