Open browser from script + a script menu

Post by bmm »

I earlier had this post (http://membres.lycos.fr/antpbe/phpbb3/v ... c.php?t=17) where I was asking for a possibility to UrlEncode a Title differently because this one site doesn't use "+" to search on more than one word. I have now done this encoding through a script (trying to make a get information script which got impossible because of other annoyances at this site) but I need a way to open a browser with this URL from the script. Or is there already a syntax to do this?

This way it would also be possible to to searches on other fields than Title.

Then I thought that if the above is possible then it would be nice to be able to someway call this script from "Search on internet" menu.

Or probably even better I would like a menu comparable to the "Search on internet" menu but just with easy accessible scripts instead. Then there could be an option in the Preferences where I could choose between all scripts to decide which to show in the menu.

I don't know if there could be problems with this last suggestion regarding for instance manually stopping a script.

I miss the possibility to press CTRL-A in a field and thereby mark all the content of this field.

By the way is it possible to have text in front of the Disks Field?

It is not possible to launch something from a script, but I will add that for the next version (within few days)

I may add a menu to run a script, I'll see if it is easy to do or not, but that will not be in the next version, maybe later.

For the "Search..." menu, I will improve this menu, to allow to do a search on something else than the title, and other encoding methods (by the way, how should the title be encoded for what you need ?)

For the Ctrl+A, I noticed that very recently. It is quite strange that it does not work, since Ctrl+C, V, X are working. Maybe a bug from Delphi ? Or simply not a Windows standard, but something that nearly all programs manage themselves.

It is not possible to have a text in front of Disks field, but I can add it very easily if you want. Just a question : Why ? :)

Instead of "+" between each word it should have "&V1=" at this particular site. The number does not have to increase for each word. It works fine with "&V1=" between each word.

In the literature translation I have made this field has a different content and it would just seem more logical to have the description in front in my case. It is no big deal but it would be nice. :)

Now I remember :) I will probably add that in the version after the next one (next one is nearly finished so I do not want to add things anymore on it)

It will be OK for the next version, since it is easy to add ;)
