Epyrus • Re: Get a link in a message to open in PM? (SOLVED)

Thanks. Problem solved. No bugs in either Epyrus or Pale Moon. It has to do with the desktop, XFCE in my case. There are menus (and corresponding .desktop files) from which PM is started/invoked. Possibly more than one. One has to make sure that PM is invoked with argument %u e.g. as "/opt/palemoon/palemoon %u".

Ohh... that actually makes sense. I know that in various shell scripts and maybe various menu configurations, you had to use a special character like that to indicate that you want whatever was typed after the initial argument. I think my issue was that when I would test it, I would point Epyrus directly at a compiled copy of the Pale Moon executable sitting in another directory that had no menu entry, and never imagined others were using OS/Desktop-level menu entries. That would explain it, I was never testing the fancier desktop integration stuff like having the OS know what Pale Moon and Epyrus are from menu entries and then making associations from those, I always hunted for the executable to make the association because I never had it in the normal menu system anyway.

It does explain why it would have been hard for me to find this bug. I just wasn't testing the same thing at all...
