Links: Opening External Program

(1/7) > >>

MrBiff:
Sometime in MC29 I think:

https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=133431.0

the Links feature got the ability to open an external program.  And it works on Windows.  But I can't seem to get anything to happen on macOS.  Is this not functional on this platform?

bob:
Looks like it's not.
Since Mac uses app bundles it's likely going to need some modification.

zybex:
What about calling /bin/bash or /usr/bin/open with some args?

MrBiff:
Those don't either.  I tried.

/usr/bin/open was the first I tried, then tried Calculator.app for a test.  Fail.

zybex:
The slashes need to be escaped, I think:
//usr//bin//open

Or try the Browse button to point to an .app.
But perhaps the code is just missing, from what Bob said.
