FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: Post your FARR v2 Plugin Idea Requests Here - Plugin Writers Read In
« on: May 30, 2008, 04:03 AM »
I mentioned this to Mouser and he said I should suggest it as a plugin.
A plugin that could launch different browsers depending on what link you type. (I think that's what he meant.)
What I had suggested was a way to specify in your query what browser was used by adding ff/IE/Opera etc to the beginning, but he said a plugin would be better because it would handle all url launching, even by other FARR aliases. I'll leave it to him to reply here and explain the rest of the idea, since he knows more about the program than I do. heh.
The thing that sparked my suggestion though was wanting to be able to choose which browser would launch, rather than having it just use my default. So I could launch say... irc://irc.prison.net/#donationcoder and have it open Firefox, since that's where I have my IRC program.
