RunType being ignored

It is pleasing to be able to report that Iris and NetSurf are rubbing along a bit better now.
How can I force html files to be opened by NetSurf while keeping Iris running? |

I think you will find that the Alias$@RunType variable is only actioned if there are no apps running that understand the filetype. Before that is done the wimp offers the file to currently running apps to load. It would appear that as Iris was run before Netsurf, Iris gets first refusal and grabs the file. |

Have a look at the !Boot files. It may be Iris is not following the specs correctly. In Netsurf !Boot it says | We don't claim the URI filetype as the spec tells us not to: | "Applications must not set an Alias$@RunType variable for the URI filetype" However, in Iris !Boot we have Set File$Type_F91 URI If "<Alias$@RunType_F91>" = "" Then Set Alias$@RunType_F91 <Iris$Dir>.!Run --uri %%*0 Maybe this is the problem. |
