| Description: |
The tkchat.tcl has code to allow clicking on URLs in the chat window. The ::tkchat::gotoURL procedure then calls an appropriate browser to open the URL. The code differenciates between platforms via $tcl_platform(platform) and therefore uses the code for $tcl_platform(platform) == "unix" also for MacOS X. This does not work, since launching a program in MacOS X is done via the "open -a" command and not directly like in other unices. The attached patch adds another case inside the "unix" branch of the switch statement in ::tkchat::gotoURL to handle MacOS X (using $tcl_platform(os)). It tries to launch the browser specified in the $Options(BROWSER) variable. If this fails, the code tries to launch the Safari browser, which should be available at all times. If this also fails, an error message is displayed. | |||
