Helper Applications

2013-11-22 Thread JohnW-Mpls


Win XP, SM 2.22, Browser's Helper Applications list.

I am using a fresh profile of SM and it will not let me save a pdf file I am
downloading from US News % WR (with a notice about Helper Applications).
That same file gets saved without hesitation using my old SM profile.  The
old helper list shows "PDF file" as a type whereas the fresh helper shows
only "Adobe Acrobat Document" as a type.  I'm guessing US News may well not
be using Adobe's product to generate their pdf file and therefor it is not
recognized by the fresh helper list.

Is there a way to: copy the list from one profile to another, edit the list,
or just add a type to the list?

Is there a way to edit SeaMonkey's list of Helper Applications?  I want

Setting Helper Applications

2012-11-27 Thread Daniel


SeaMonkey Internet Suite on MandrivaLinux 2009 -

I want to set SeaMonkey to open *.xlsx files with OpenOffice. When I go 
into Edit->Preferences->Browser->Helper Applications and locate "xlsx 
File", it's set to "Always Ask", but I want to change it to use 
OpenOffice, but when I try, I must be selecting the wrong file to use as 
the Helper Applications screen continues to show "Always ask".


How do I set the correct Helper??

TIA

Forget it.

I encounter occasional links to PDF files with the application/pdf MIME
type that launch Adobe Reader and display in an Adobe Reader window.
This happens despite the fact that my Help Applications indicate to open
and display PDF files in a SeaMonkey window via the Adobe Reader plugin.
 My testing indicates the problem lies at the Web site since other sites
do indeed display PDF files with the same application/pdf MIME type in
SeaMonkey windows via the plugin.

Mostly in the registry (in Windows).
Exceptions that you add yourself are stored in the file mimeTypes.rdf
in the profile directory.

you can try copying mimeTypes.rdf from your old profile.

I'm not sure what "will not let me save" means exactly.  If it always
displays the pdf in the browser instead of giving you the option to
save you can click on tools / add-ons manager and disable all the
adobe plugins..

The UI for editing helper apps was removed in SeaMonkey 2.0; now you
have to edit mimetype.rdf and maybe even the registry.

See my June 2010 thread "how to automatically save files?" in the
support-seamonkey list for what I had to do to add a new helper app or
try searching for 'edit mimetype.rdf'

Set up a new profile and re-create all the helper apps exactly the way 
you want them. Then overinstall mimeTypes.rdf into your regular profile. 
After that you can delete the new profile, thus destroying all the 
evidence. I looked at the mimeTypes file and could find no specific 
reference to SeaMonkey, so maybe it will work in FF as well if you have 
both installed. Lotta work for two helper apps, but whatever...


All the usual caveats about first backing up what you are about to 
change apply.

Edit the mimeTypes.rdf file from a standard text editor. I find the lack
of the ability to remove a "Helper Application" like that in older
versions of SeaMonkey frustrating. You can check bugzilla to see if

Configuring helper applications

2009-05-30 Thread John

I'm using SeaMonkey v1.1.16 and I have a couple of questions about 
configuring helper applications.


1. Is it possible to play a .wmv file in the SeaMonkey window using 
Windows Media Player?


2. Why do some .pdf files open Acrobat Reader in the SeaMonkey window 
and others open it in a separate window? These are files coming as email 
attachments from different senders.


Thanks!

Click on the xlsx file. When you get 'Open With', select 'Other'. Browse
to your soffice shell (not soffice.bin) and click. Then check the 'Do
this automatically for files...'. Now test again & the file should open
in OOo (read only as it is /tmp).  You can set it back to 'Always Ask'

Helper Applications file types

2017-09-26 Thread EE

SeaMonkey no longer seems to take file associations from the operating 
system and copy them to the Helper Applications section of Preferences. 
Why is that?  When I made a new profile for a new version of SeaMonkey, 
I found only about half a dozen entries in that area, whereas there were 
more than 50 in the old one.  I had to copy mimeTypes.rdf from the old 
profile and put it into the new one to get my file associations back for 
SeaMonkey.
Why is there no way to add file types to Helper Applications if it has 
been crippled in some manner?

And why do some PDF files appear within the SeaMonkey window

The default mp4 player for W7 is WMP.  So, unless you have installed a program
that will take over from the default, it's WMP.
This assumes: Windows NT 6.1; WOW64.
You might be able to find out with taskman/processes or process explorer.
You can also search for mp4 in the registry w/ regedit, but if you make
a mistake you will likely be buying a new computer.

The right column of that pane in the Preferences should tell you what 
will be done with that file type, whether it is to save it, open it with

SM 2.0 browser helper applications list editing

2009-11-01 Thread User

Previously, in SM 1.X's browser helper applications list, it was possible to 
add, edit and delete entries in the helper applications list. Now in SM 2.0 
Windows version, there is only a list and there seems to be no way to add or 
delete entries in the list, it is possible to only edit existing help 
application entries already in the list. Can someone tell me how to add entries 
for certain file extensions?


Also, I found that when I opened a file type with a file extension that is NOT 
in the current browser helper application list, a dialogue box pops up and asks 
me what helper application to launch. If I select OPEN WITH OTHER and then 
select the application from the list, the OPTION BOX for DO THIS AUTOMATICALLY 
FOR FILES LIKE THIS FROM NOW ON is greyed out and I cannot check it. As a 
result, I can't add this new helper application entry into the list. Does anyone 
know why this is the case?

Upon further queries elsewhere, I discovered that apparently in SM 2.0, the 
ability to MANUAL ADD and DELETE browser helper application entries in the list 
has been removed completely, and all that a user can do now is EDIT existing 
entries in the list. This seems to be crippling the flexibility that SM 1.X used 
to have that allowed advanced power users to add their own definitions of helper 
applications. It would have been nice if the developers kept the previous 
functionality of the user being able to manually add their own MIME types and 
helper applications, or delete ones that they no longer wanted. After all the 
Seamonkey suite seems to be supposedly, according to some, more of a power user 
application compared to other Mozilla products like Firefox.


But if the helper application list in SM 2.0 is compiled based only on the MIME 
types supported per plug-ins detection, it would seem shortsighted to assume 
that a helper application ENTRY in the list can exist (and thus editable under 
that condition) ONLY if there is a plug-in installed that supports the MIME type 
that the user needs to automatically launch a helper application with, and that 
would appear to be a flawed assumption. Some helper applications exist only as 
an EXE executable and outside of a plug-in form that would be compatible with 
Mozilla browsers. Furthermore, the SM 1.X's helper application manual editing 
capability allowed full flexibility to manually add command line parameters for 
the helper application, if needed. The loss of this flexibility, if in fact true 
on SM 2.0, is sorely disappointing.


Does anyone know where the existing helper application list is compiled from? It 
would appear that all the entries in the SM 2.0 helper application list is based 
on MIME types in detected plug-ins, as listed in the ABOUT PLUG-INS page. If 
there is a configuration file and location where the helper application list is 
kept for SM 2.0, I would be interested to know of it.

C:\Temp\t>echo "Load XLS
file" > load-xls.htm

copy or create file.xls in the same directory, open load-xls.htm with
SM and click on the link

I get a pop-up with the options to 'Open with' and 'Save File', but
the 'Do this automatically..' is greyed out :(

** is this mailing list/ newsgroup archived somewhere?
I can find my june 2010 "how to automatically save files?" q&a to the
list in my sent mail but can't find it with a search engine :(

summary: My 2010 fix, on a windows vista machine, for not being able
to select 'do this automatically...' for .pptx files was adding this
bit to the registry

 cut here ==
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.pptx]
"Content 
Type"="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content
Type\application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation]
"Extension"=".pptx"

 cut here ==

It's probably the same now.. you just have to figure out the proper
"Content Type" for xls and doc files..

I have searched for a .xls on my machine using 'locate' and found one in
the source of SM-2.53. Trying to open that resulted in

http://www.triffids.de/pub/screenshot/xls191223.png

So, install LibreOffice or something equivalent. Perhaps some calc
program will suffice.

I already have libreoffice installed, but I probably skipped the
'register libreoffice file types' or some such when I installed it..
^shrug^ no big deal.  If it bothers me enough I can probably figure
out the correct file type or reinstall libreoffice and not skip the
register file types step

As I recall, you can add a new helper application by selecting a link in
a Web page to a .doc or .xls file.  SeaMonkey will then popup a dialogue
requesting whether to save or open the file.  You then select to open
the file.  That results in another dialogue that allows you to navigate
to the desired application's executable.

Once there was a time, when you could create your own Content Type in SM
and associate it with a program of your choosing. I used that for
creating a x-hafi type. IIRC *g*

But that feature is long gone. Together with some other possibilities.

Bug 147474 - Move 'Helper Applications' out of Navigator (browser) category

2013-08-08 Thread Edmund Wong


Hi,

I'm soliciting some feedback on this bug[1].

Where should "Helper Applications" be if it isn't good to be
in the Advanced category?  The patch moves it from the Browser
category to the Advanced category.

Thanks

Which Quicktime plugin is your SM installation using?  I've got QT 7.6.6 
installed, and all mime types using that as a Helper and all is well - 
Flip4Mac is translating for 7.6.6 and not QT X, I might guess.


In fact after a look - the Flip4Mac site states that "QuickTime X does 
not support conversion using third-party plugins".


Try installing both versions of QT (X and 7) if you haven't done so.

But the QT 7 plugin seems to be doing its job in/for SM - QT 10 comes up

Also - in your Flip4Mac System Prefs - make sure that "Launch QuickTime

Leave 'launch Quicktime player' *unchecked* in the browser section

I use Flip4Mac successfully on both desktop iMac and MacBook Pro

Tried both way no difference.

Which Quicktime plugin is your SM installation using? I've got QT 7.6.6
installed, and all mime types using that as a Helper and all is well -
Flip4Mac is translating for 7.6.6 and not QT X, I might guess.

In fact after a look - the Flip4Mac site states that "QuickTime X does
not support conversion using third-party plugins".

Try installing both versions of QT (X and 7) if you haven't done so.


I have both (the version that was on the install disc). and have all
helper set for 7.6.6 plugins. Problem there is no entry for wmv/wma. At
one time you could add items to helpers. Then for some strange reason
that ability was removed.

what happening now is I click on Open from within the email a window
openes it loads about halfway and stops. I can save to desktop and click
on and QuickTime opens and plays. I have enough RAM 8 GB and Computer is
fast enough 2.8 Ghz i7 It also has the dual video built in and Nvida
video card.


Well downloaded and reinstalled Flip4Mac This time I clicked reload and
box came up then gave me a Choice of saving File or or playing with the
WMV Player (part of Flip4Mac.


I chose the WMV Player and QuickTime10 would come up. Not QuickTime 7.

But still I have to ht reload each time in order for it to start
QuickTime. Better than before. I guess acceptable. Evidently the
QuickTime 7 plugin doesn't work. with x.6.6.





Might try re-downloading QT 7 and reinstalling the plugin. I was just
able to open a downloaded .avi and .wmv file in SM, and also discovered
that my install of Flip4Mac needs update...so I'll grab that.

But the QT 7 plugin seems to be doing its job in/for SM - QT 10 comes up
for me if I just double click to open outside of SM.

Also - in your Flip4Mac System Prefs - make sure that "Launch QuickTime
Player" and "Always show movie controller" are *unchecked* under the
Browser options.


I have the latest Flip4Mac 3.8.1

I just grabbed 2.3.8.1 - I assume that's what you have.

Looking at Flip4Mac settings again, there's also a setting for "Play 
.avi files" in the Pref Pane - make sure that's *checked* too.


Dunno why it's not working for you, but maybe we can still get it figured.

Phillip I'm using OS 6.6, on a Macbook Pro and iMac, have both QT x and 7.66 installed and have the
latest version

In 'about plugins' there is *no* option for enabling wmv but there is a separate Flip4Mac Windows
Media plugin.

The only preferences I have enabled are the ones mentioned above, i.e
Browser:
*Use Flip4Mac
*Maintain aspect ratio

Player:
*Open AVI files

As an after thought you may have to restart after you make any changes.

Good luck, if it were me I'd start over again and the only preferences I would *touch* are the ones
mentioned above.

Interesting question. I'll note that some of the Appearance entries 
don't explicitly have anything to do with appearance per se, e.g., 
smooth scrolling setting. It would probably be useful to cull out all 
the stuff that is common and create a new group, e.g., Common. As for 
helper apps being in Advanced  not really an advanced setting, but 
it'll do in a pinch.

Advanced is fine, or like Comment 15 says, make it a category itself.

I don't think it should be hidden under Advanced.  Either give it its 
own category or leave it where it is.  It has been under browser for 
years and people know where to find it.  I understand that technically 
it applies to mail and news and not just browser, but how many people 
have complained that they couldn't find it (any?)? And how many will 
complain when it is moved and they can't find it and think it has been 
removed?


One of the things you hear the most complaints about is developers 
"wasting" their time on UI changes that don't need done instead of 
fixing real problems.


No matter where you put it (other than giving it its own category) 
some/many people won't like it.  On the other hand if you just leave 
it where it is I doubt anyone would complain.

This is very true.  Change merely for the sake of change leads to user
confusion.

Side note: No, I am not in a position to influence and change whatever I
