hello guys

with this new update 1 feature you do not use anymore OpenURL.library, os4.1 up 1 has integrated an handler for launch applications, in devs there is URL and in L: there is launch-handler, if you want configure YAM to use this new feature click on Yam->Config->Script, the last idem is URL... select AmigaDOS and type in script "C:urlopen %p" click to save and now when you click on some url you can chose which browser do you like open. If you want configure IBrowse for send e-mail with Yam you must chose in Ibrowse configuration menu->E-mail Telnet->Mailto:->Type External->Command type "C:urlopen" mailto=%h. If you want configure OWB (3.23) for send e-mail with Yam in it tooltype enable "OPENURL=c:urlopen %s"
For documentation you can see SYS:documentation/handler/launch-handler.doc

have fun

Good tip, was about to copy OpenURL over for YAM & XNet-RSS. Still might need to copy it for XNet though, don't see any other options for that app.

Since I keep my system write protected with the "lock" command, your example using YAM brought up a disk write-protected requester which resulted in a DOS library Grim Reaper when I cancelled it. No thanks, I'll stick with OpenURL which doesn't crash my system when it can read or write a file.

@SOFISTISOFTWARE

Do you mean in "Prefs" not "Devs"?

Why are you keeping your system write protected?
Seems unnecessary for an Amiga...

@SOFISTISOFTWARE

Changing the script for opening a URL is only required if you want to use something different than YAM's builtin functionality. The buitin function tries these steps to open a URL in exactly this order:
1: User script (if configured)
2: URL: device (OS4 only)
3: openurl.library (if available)

I assume this would only apply to the latest beta versions of YAM and not the publicly released v2.5.

My version of YAM (2.5) did not work until I copied back openURL.library.

Apart from that a lot of older software will not have been updated either - or not longer even developed, so openurl.library is still necessary to have.
