Nifty - A few problems/clarifications
Authored by: autohag on Apr 05, '02 10:20:51AM

Mac OS X Pine users of the world unite!
There must be, what, 3 of us now?

Comments;

1. The URL opening script - got it to work with Mozilla but could not
get it to work with Explorer no matter what I tried. Either Explorer would open
and do nothing or it simply wouldn't open. Tried specifying full path, creating
symbolic links, etc. Nothing worked. I mostly use Mozilla anyways.

2. The PrintPDF script - seems like a lot of work for simple printing but
what the hell, I did it. Took me forever to get it to work - here's why; In
the version of Pine I am using (4.4.3), the custom printer is called
"Personally selected print command". In order to get this to work, you first
supply a printer _name_ and THEN you supply the command. My mistake was supplying the command where the name should go. In other words, the name I selected was "PinePrinter" and then specified the Command as
/Applications/Toys/PinePrintPDF/PinePrint . Pretty nifty once I figured that out.

3. I have not messed with the mime thing. Don't really have a reason to.

If you want IE for the OpenURL script, you may find that IE needs you to change one of its preferences for so that other applications requesting URL windows open up new windows. IE is just odd anyway. But it is the one I use most of the time for the OpenURL script, as the URLs I get sent in email are often so badly coded that only IE will open them.

Print from Pine scripts
Authored by: dawidlp on Feb 25, '03 03:45:23PM

Hi, I'm unable to access the iDisk in order to download those scripts I was wondering if anyone could send those to me. I would really appreciate this since I really need the print functionality in my pine program.

Thanks,
