Category: win32 Group: None Status: Closed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Peepsalot (peepsalot) Assigned to: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Summary: Can clicking links open a new window? Initial Comment: It is very frustrating to me that gaim uses the latest browser window to load a page when you click a link from inside a message. Can it be loaded into new browser windows only, or at least make a right-click option to do this? Just today, I was typing a rather long message to someone on one of my favorite discussion forums. A friend IM'd a link to me and I clicked it(forgetting the behavior of gaim) and lost the message I was typing. :( Thanks for any help ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Ant (itchysoft_ant) Date: 2005-08-26 18:19 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1186610 If youre using IE as opposed to FireFox, the option you want is : Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing > Reuse windows for launching shortcuts ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2005-08-26 17:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 As warp9pnt9 said, this is just how your browser is configured, if you want it to open new windows, you just need to configure it to do so. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: L W (warp9pnt9) Date: 2005-08-26 17:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=706287 Well FWIW, I use Firefox, and don't configure Gaim to do anything, so it uses most recent window. I configure Firefox to open new tabs in most recent window. The result is I think what you would desire. I for one much prefer tabbed browsing to multiple windows. However if multiple windows are what you desire, or you don't use Firefox, or a browser with a similar new tab feature, then I have no idea. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=200235&aid=1274171&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Gaim-support mailing list Gaim-support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gaim-support
