Re: [Evolution] browser - select different to handle links




When I click on a link in an email, it uses galeon.  I
would prefer a different browser.  How can I set this?
 Or do I have to point the galeon binary to a
different browser with a symlink....?

As you didn't specify your Evolution version, the desired browser and
whether you have Gnome 2.x installed, I will assume Evolution 1.4.x with
a sane Gnome Desktop installed.

Ask again, if you are using Evolution 1.2.x, as the instructions are
different for a Gnome 1.4 desktop.


So here we go again with the most-wanted answer... ;-)


Setting default browser (Evolution 1.4 / Gnome 2.x)
---------------------------------------------------

Open the "Gnome Control Center" > Preferred Applications > Web Browser
or simply run:
$ gnome-default-applications-properties

 check 'Custom Web Browser'
 Command: gnome-moz-remote --newwin "%s"

This will present you every link (clicked in a Gnome 2 app) in a new
mozilla window. If you prefer tabs (instead of new windows) like me,
change it similar like that:

 Command: mozilla-remote.sh "%s"

Have the attached script in your path (or change the command to have the
whole path) and make the script executable.


If you want to use another browser rather than Mozilla, you have to
adjust the command (or the script for most of them, to enable tabs).
