Re: [Pharo-project] Opening a webbrowser (using NB on non-Windows)

OSProcess command: 'open http://foo.bar.com' On 2013-02-15, at 02:12, "Torsten Bergmann" <astares@gmx.de> wrote:

In Pharo 2.0 one can now use

NBWin32Shell shellBrowse: 'http://www.pharo-project.org'

which will open an external webbrowser on the given URL. This is currently limited to Windows.

Anyone able to implement/call appropriate NB functions for Mac and Linux? I would like to see a unified interface coming with 2.0

NBWebbrowser shellBrowse: url

dispatching to the appropriate class depending on OS.

Since these days a lot of work is done using webbrowsers I think a unified way to open a browser on a given URL is required for Pharo.

I also need this for the upcoming Pharo online help to work on all major platforms.

Thanks T.
