Open urls in browser

[danson]

Hi,

Could there be at least a right-click option to open a web-shortcut in the default browser? Sometimes you do actually want to escape from the UR interface because you want to do some more advanced stuff.

There is -- right-click in the internal browser and click Open Shortcut.

thanks but how is this supposed to work? When i do this it opens my text editor (ultra edit funnily enough) instead of my browser. i have set my htm and html types to reference firefox.

I can't find any option to set the preferred browser in UR and when, in Windows, I double click on html files or shortcuts to URLs they DO properly show in firefox.

However this may be a windows problem since you say this is included in UR.

UR uses a standard Windows API (ShellExecuteEx) to launch the current file/URL in its associated application (similar to what Windows does when you enter something in the Run dialog, for instance). It sounds like something is messed up with file associations in your registry. What is the path+filename that gets opened in UltraEdit? What happens if you copy/paste that value into the Run dialog (Win+R)?
