Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I wanted to use org-protocol with chrome and emacs-24.1 under windows 7.</div><div>I registered the org-protocol protocol with:</div><div><br></div><div><div>[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\org-protocol]</div>

<div>@=&quot;URL:Org Protocol&quot;</div><div>&quot;URL Protocol&quot;=&quot;&quot;</div><div><br></div><div>[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\org-protocol\shell]</div><div><br></div><div>[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\org-protocol\shell\open]</div>

<div><br></div><div>[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\org-protocol\shell\open\command]</div><div>@=&quot;\&quot;C:\\Local\\Emacs-24.1\\bin\\emacsclientw.exe\&quot; \&quot;-n\&quot; \&quot;%1\&quot;&quot;</div></div><div><br></div><div>
<div>
I added a button to the chrome toolbar with :</div><div><br></div><div>javascript:location.href=&#39;org-protocol://capture://&#39;+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+&#39;/&#39;+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+&#39;/&#39;+ encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection())</div>

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

<div><br></div><div><div>@@ -1137,7 +1135,8 @@</div><div>                  (let ((file (pop args-left)))</div><div>                    (if coding-system</div><div>                        (setq file (decode-coding-string file coding-system)))</div>

<div>-                   (setq file (expand-file-name file dir))</div><div>+                   (unless (string-match &quot;^[^/]+:/&quot; file)</div><div>+                     (setq file (expand-file-name file dir)))</div>

</div><div><br></div><div>to prevent addition of the current directory to the org-protocol url.</div><div>This is a crude patch, but anyway, I have the feeling nothing should be </div><div>added to &#39;file&#39; when it is &#39;absolute&#39;.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Have I done something wrong? Or is there a problem here ?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your comments,</div><div><br></div>-- <br>Fabrice Popineau<div><br></div>
