Re: want thunderbird link to open new tab in konqueror
Hi,
well, in that area it's a bit complicated
you could ask kfmclient to do it for you :
kfmclient newTab http://www.kde.org
but your konqueror needs to run on the same desktop as your thunderb
otherwise a new window will popup.
the other way is to script a little bit :
dcop konqueror\*
will list all started konqueror,
grab the first one and :
dcop konqueror-3280 konqueror-mainwindow\#1 newTab http://www.kde.org
will do what you want,
now you just have to make a script and link
/etc/alternatives/x-www-browser to it ;)
since you are a hacker according to your name, that should be trivial
for you, I even wonder why you asked the question ;)
Cheers,
Mik
