Hi all,

I wanted to use org-protocol with chrome and emacs-24.1 under windows 7.
I registered the org-protocol protocol with:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\org-protocol]
@="URL:Org Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\org-protocol\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\org-protocol\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\org-protocol\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Local\\Emacs-24.1\\bin\\emacsclientw.exe\" \"-n\" \"%1\""

I added a button to the chrome toolbar with :

javascript:location.href='org-protocol://capture://'+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'/'+
encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())

but org-protocol failed to capture anything. The reason was that the
emacsclientw.exe directory was added to the org-protocol url.
I traced the problem to server.el and I had to patch it this way:

@@ -1137,7 +1135,8 @@
                  (let ((file (pop args-left)))
                    (if coding-system
                        (setq file (decode-coding-string file
coding-system)))
-                   (setq file (expand-file-name file dir))
+                   (unless (string-match "^[^/]+:/" file)
+                     (setq file (expand-file-name file dir)))
                    (push (cons file filepos) files)
                    (server-log (format "New file: %s %s"
                                        file (or filepos "")) proc))

to prevent addition of the current directory to the org-protocol url.
This is a crude patch, but anyway, I have the feeling nothing should be
added to 'file' when it is 'absolute'.

Have I done something wrong? Or is there a problem here ?

Thanks for your comments,
