I can also confirm that Jacqueline's suggestion about including a custom plist via the standalone builder works fine.

Do you/does anyone know if there's a way to have this done automatically each time a new standalone is built? The standalone builder allows the option of including a custom-made plist file instead of having it create one for you. You could set one up the way you want it, and then just point the SB to that. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

I can get the custom URL protocol to launch the standalone app, which is great (if you'd like to know how this is done, see the P.S.).

Hi Lyn, My code looks something like this: on appleEvent c, i, s if ((c = "GURL") and (i = "GURL")) or ((c = "LRUG") and (i = "LRUG")) then request appleEvent data put it into tURL -- do something with the URL else pass appleEvent end if end appleEvent Note the crazy GURL/LRUG test; this became necessary when Intel Macs came out. I think it applied when running under Rosetta on an Intel Mac. I don't know if it's still an issue - ie whether it was a bug in Rev, or in Apple's code.

Since you're on OS X, try an appleEvent handler. The dictionary has a pretty good example of one in the "appleEvent" listing. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | [EMAIL PROTECTED] HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Handling custom URL protocols in Mac OS X?
Hello, I'm trying to get a standalone app to handle a custom URL protocol in Mac OS X. For example, something like this: yippie://www.awesome.com/ I can get the custom URL protocol to launch the standalone app, which is great (if you'd like to know how this is done, see the P.S.). However, within the app, I have no idea how to find and extract the 'www.awesome.com' portion of the URL that was used to launch it. I've already tried checking $1, but it's empty. Any ideas? Thanks, Lyn P.S. To get a standalone to open a custom URL protocol in Mac OS X, open the app package and place the following in Info.plist (right after the CFBundleSignature key): CFBundleURLTypes CFBundleURLName Yippie URL CFBundleURLSchemes yippie LSIsAppleDefaultForScheme Then drag the standalone out of the Applications folder (if it's already in there), and then (back) into the Applications folder. The custom URL yippie://www.awesome.com/ should now launch the standalone. Now, we just need to figure out how to grab the URL from within the app! ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
