I have some PDF with a Link to .htm files.

The website is downloaded to SD and runs well.

If I copy the hyperlink into any browser it works fine.

If I click on the link document viewer says:


"Unable to open external link.

Error starting file: 'path/to/file'

No such file or directory

The file exists, as I can open it if I copy the link (directly with right click and "Copy Link Address) into Qupzilla.

So how do I make document viewer to open the link with Qupzilla?

Links to PDF works fine.

I don't know if the "file association" has been setup in Qupzilla. If it has been done, I think the safe way t to first confirm he file assiociation using Thunar (double click on an html file,or right-click and associate .html with your favorite browser). And then it should work.
 
I have Arora as well on my SD and I don't get asked if I want to use it.

Arora has file associations as far as I remember.
 
Yes, it has. Force the file association with a right click on an .html file with Thunar, and choose Arora (or another Browser that have file association, or at least the "extraarguments" tag in the run command, and after that, it should work (but I never tried html link embeded in pdf, so I'm not sure).
 
Arora starts now when clicking the hyperlink.

(+for Arora ^_^ )

Next problem: Page doesn't load.

The file structure contains blanks.

Only the last part of the link is in the URL line.

(Last part = Part after last blank)

Is there a problem with hyperlinks containing blank?

If I do right click and copy the link address it's the whole path and works in browser (%instead of blank).

So the path is good. It simply doesn't copy the whole URL.
 
Hum, maybe I have to revise the launch script. I have to test, I didn't try with space in names, but maybe I'm missing some "" somewhere...
 
It's definitly the space in names.


Tried without blanks and it worked well.
