[bug report] about html view

[nitrix-ud]

hi mouser,

before
htmlviewurl C:\_common\test\index.htm
would work ...

not anymore
now you have to do the following... :

restartsearch viewhtml file:///C:\_common\test\index.htm \n

i had to work quite some time to get there

• restartsearch is needed... i have no idea why (without restartsearch viewhtml just does not work at all...)
• htmlviewurl is now viewhtml (should be reflected in the help file)
• need to put the file:// protocol with a additionnal /
• \n because of restartsearch

[mouser]

i shall look into it.

i think your original line was a mistake.  you should have used (and this still works for me):
showfilehtml C:\_common\test\index.htm

can you try that and see if it works?

[nitrix-ud]

great it works 

thanks mouser !

however, i'm pretty positive :
htmlviewurl C:\_common\test\index.htm
worked at some point (it was in several aliases of mine)

this command is still in the help file !! :

htmlviewurl URL - grabs a web page url and displays content in html view mode (this can be http://.. or file://)

and no showfilehtml...

time to update the help file mouser

This one does not work for me. Actually none seems to work

i think your original line was a mistake.  you should have used (and this still works for me):
showfilehtml C:\_common\test\index.htm

can you try that and see if it works?

[Select]

1000>>>View>->View $$1 in FARR | htmlviewurl $$1 /icon=icons\web.ico>+>^view (.*)

I have this alias defined and it works fine with the following:

[Select]

c:\somedir\somefile.html +view
view c:\somedir\somefile.html
view www.google.com

Note that "www.google.com +view" is not working as expected.
