Re: [Orgmode] default browser - SOLVED
Thank you Henry-Paul, You solved for me a quite annoying issue related to org that I could not solve! For those who use firefox these two lines become: (setq browse-url-browser-function (quote browse-url-generic)) (setq browse-url-generic-program firefox) Simply copy and paste it!! 2010/2/25 Carsten Dominik carsten.domi...@gmail.com Hi Henri-Paul, thanks for summarizing here in the mailing list, this creates a searchable record of a good answer!

Re: [Orgmode] default browser - SOLVED
Thanks Nick, Most (?) browsers have a remote URL capability: you can send a URL to an already running instance and it will just open it, without going through the overhead of creating another instance. For me it seems strange this behaviour. When I have firefox already open, it creates another tab for the URL and does not open a new firefox instance.

Daniel, The problem with this solution is that it creates a new instance of the browser every time you click a link: , | browse-url-generic is an interactive compiled Lisp function in | `browse-url.el'. | | (browse-url-generic URL optional NEW-WINDOW) | | Ask the WWW browser defined by `browse-url-generic-program' to load URL. | Default to the URL around or before point. A fresh copy of the | browser is started up in a new process with possible additional arguments | `browse-url-generic-args'. This is appropriate for browsers which | don't offer a form of remote control. ` Most (?) browsers have a remote URL capability: you can send a URL to an already running instance and it will just open it, without going through the overhead of creating another instance. For firefox, I do the following: , | (defun browse-url-firefox (url optional new-window) | (shell-command (concat firefox-xremote-client \ url \))) | | (setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-firefox) ` with the following firefox-xremote-client script somewhere in my path: , | #! /bin/bash | | firefox --remote openURL($1) ` HTH, Nick ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
