@node arexx "ARexx port"
|
||
NetSurf's ARexx port is called NETSURF.
|
||
|
||
Commands are:
|
||
|
||
@{b}OPEN URL/A,NEW=NEWWINDOW/S@{ub} Opens URL in current window or a new window if NEWWINDOW is specified.
|
||
@{b}QUIT@{ub} Quits NetSurf
|
||
@{b}TOFRONT@{ub} Brings NetSurf's screen to the front
|
||
@{b}GETURL@{ub} Puts the URL displayed in the current window/tab into RESULT
|
||
@{b}GETTITLE@{ub} Puts the title of the page displayed in the current window/tab into RESULT
|
||
@{b}VERSION VERSION/N REVISION/N RELEASE/S@{ub} Returns the current version of NetSurf in RESULT. You can also do version checking by supplying a VERSION and optional REVISION to check against. If the version of NetSurf is the same or higher 1 will be returned, if it is older 0. If RELEASE is specified, the command operates on the release version rather than the internal version number.
|
||
|
||
The ARexx menu will be populated with scripts named #?.nsrx in @{"arexx_dir" link options 18}, up to a maximum of 20 entries. The titles of these entries will be the comments field of the file (or the filename if comments field is empty).
|
||
|
||
|
||
@{u}OpenURL configuration@{uu}
|
||
|
||
Click Add on the Browsers page and fill in the details as follows:
|
||
Name: NetSurf
|
||
Path: NetSurf %u
|
||
ARexx port: NETSURF
|
||

Open URL: OPEN "%u"
|
||
New window: OPEN "%u" NEW

@node hotlist "Hotlist menu"
|
||
Items from the hotlist can be added to the Hotlist menu as follows:
|
||
|
||
Select Hotlist => Show hotlist...
|
||
Add a folder called Menu. This must not be placed within any other folder.
|
||
|
||
Items in this folder node up to a maximum (currently) of 40 items will be added to the Hotlist menu, within the limits of the Intuition menu system.
|
||
|
||
Items in folders within the Menu folder node will be converted to subitems in the menu.
|
||
|
||
Folders more than one level down in the heirarchy will become menu items with no action. Items deeper will not be included in the menu at all.
|
||
|
||
Folders with no items in them will show up disabled in the menu. If they are named "--" they will be displayed as separator bars.
|
||
|
||
eg.
|
||
|
||
- Menu
|
||
|
|
||
+- Netsurf
|
||
| |
|
||
| +- NetSurf Homepage
|
||
| |
|
||
| +- More NetSurf links
|
||

|
||
| +- NetSurf bugtracker
|
||
|
|
||
+- --
|
||
|
|
||
+- Google
|
||
|
||

|
||

@node mimetypes "Local MIME Types"
|
||
NetSurf determines the MIME types of local files primarily by checking the icon of the file. If the icon is not found it will check the default icon for the file type.
|
||
|
||
It looks for a tooltype MIMETYPE and, if found, will use the contents as the filetype of the file. If not found it makes a guess at the MIME type using datatypes.library, however this will not be very accurate.
|
||
|
||
The Installer script will set the MIMETYPE tooltype on basic relevant default filetype icons. If you get problems:
|
||
* If the file has a real icon, add MIMETYPE=<MIME type of file> to the tooltypes.
|
||
* If the file does not have an icon, check:
|
||
1. The file type is showing in DefIcons Prefs editor
|
||
2. The icon ENVARC:Sys/def_<filetype> contains the MIMETYPE tooltype.
