SLurls no longer working

[Emma Krokus]

use both viewer 1 and imprudence, opera for a browser

 

SLurls used to work from external websites, open via Imprudence only with a message "you need to open Imprudence to do this". Clikced DO NOT SHOW MESSAGE AGAIN" now I broke it!!!

 

When I try to click SLurls now I get:

No registered application for this extension.

 

hmmm, googled it and saw info to look into registry: imprudence is there... but it's not working...

 

can anyone help?

 

Ideally I'd like to use access SLurls via SL rather than Imprudence ...

In Opera, open Preferences (ctrl+F12)

Go to tab "Advanced" >> "Programs"

Click on "Add"

In "protocol" type: secondlife

In "Open with other application", type the path to your preferred viewer (In my case, phoenix, it is "C:\Arquivos de programas\Phoenix Viewer 2\PhoenixViewer.exe")

Hmm, i have that now since i have viewer 1.23.5 and 2.4 installed, and earlier when i had both the main and RC viewer installed. Somehow SLurls do get messed up if more than 1 SL viewer is installed.

What i did: uninstall al viewers including all user folders, restart the computer, then install just one viewer. Perhaps that could solve the issue, well it did for me actually.

Ooo, that is fab advice, huggles also from me. I will try that too !

a similar trick works for firefox, via tools --> options --> applications....

as a bonus if you set it to use phoenix, phoenix is smart enough to pass the message off to V2 if it's already running.

Hi Vania

 

thanks for your advice!

 

But how do I find the path to my viewer on my pc?...

 

 

[Vania Chaplin]

In Windows XP, right click the Viewer’s icon (in desktop or in the Programs menu) and choose “Properties”. I properties window there is the path to it.

(sorry, but my Windows is in Portuguese :smileywink: )

[edited to add] remember to add the name of the executable file - in my case C:\Arquivos de programas\Phoenix Viewer 2\PhoenixViewer.exe

Thank you Vania - that was comprehensive!

 

Unfortunately I couldn't make it work - maybe there is a difference with me using Windows 7 that I'm just too non-techie to get.

 

Nevertheless - I'm so impressed with the help it's possible to get from the forum - thank you guys )))).
