| | Posted: | | | | Just an idea I am toying with... but how about a html window for that movie/show's Related Links. Something where you could have a bulleted list of links you could click on from the profiler window. Have something like...
- Movie/TV Series' Official Website
- Main Star's Official Website
- IMDB Listing
- Online Episode List/Guide (for tv series)
- Director's Official Site
Pretty much anything that could pop into your mind.
The only real concern I have about this is that usually anything opened from DVD Profiler opens in IE... I personally don't like IE and would want it to open in the default browser (my case Firefox). Now I know very little about html coding... is there a way to tell it that when you click on a link to open it in the default browser?
Any other thoughts? | | | | Pete |

the problem with IE opening has been raised before. This is a limitation of the way that Microsoft coded the operating system. See here"By default, the open method creates a window that has a default width and height and the standard menu, toolbar, and other features of Internet Explorer." | | | | Paul |

couldn't these just go in the notes window? I have added some myself there, and as long as you have html switched on for notes then it will open in the browser. | | | | Paul |

| | Posted: | | | | Could and have in the past... but as many things I have in notes now I didn't want it to be so cluttered... just seeing what I can spread around into other windows. Of course if there is no html coding that can be done to open in default browser I wouldn't use it much at all anyway... so no matter. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | It's not so much the Open method, as much as the fact that all the HTML window are rendered using IE within Profiler, and there's no way to tell IE to launch links with another browser than itself, afaik.
The only way around that, would be a plugin. |

At least for displaying notes, you could avoid the clutter by replacing the default Notes window with a custom HTML window that only displays the portion of the Notes field which contains your "normal" notes. Another custom HTML window would only display your link list, etc. However, when editing notes, you would still have to deal with all the stuff in the Notes field. Personally, I use a secondary database to manage info links and a special archive software to save short-lived online content locally. The DVD Profiler integration looks like this:  As RossRoy already said, since DVDProfiler uses IE for HTML windows, you will need a plugin (or a safely scriptable COM object) to open a link in a Non-IE window. | | | | Matthias |

| | Posted: | | | | I like where this idea could take us. I see many uses for a "link" window. KEN?? |
