101726 - Linkman 6.5 does not work correctly with tabbed browser

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Cormac F]

Linkman is a bookmark manager available at the above URL. My college work 
involves me looking at a large number of papers available online so I find it 
really useful. 
On my old computer, I has mozilla 0.9.3 nightlies installed on WinNT 4. Linkman 
worked almost perfectly - a small hovering icon is double clicked to collect 
the URL you are currently browsing and places it in an explorer-like 
arrangement of folders. The only minor defect was that the build ID was 
appended to URL titles.

I've moved to a new computer now with Win2K and installed 0.9.4 nightlies. 
Linkman doesn't work anymore - the hovering icon does not recognise URLs 
browsed with Mozilla. 
This could be a problem with the latest build, or it could be a Win2K only 
problem, so I need someone to confirm it. Its always reproducible on my system, 
whatever the root of the problem is.
I'm using build 2001092503.

I have uninstall my version an install the 2001092603 version and now it's work.

If I only install the new version without unistall the first it still don't work.

I don't understand why but...

Changing description

From: mozilla works intermittently with linkman bookmark manager

To: Cannot use Mozilla with Linkman bookmark manager

I said "intermittent" when I believed that is occasionally caught links. This
isn't the case - IE was open in the background.

Any change here? Is this still a problem?

I've just downloaded the latest version of linkman (6.5). 
Good news: Mozilla build 2002011103 appears to work correctly with a single
window or multiple separate windows.

Bad News: Unsurprisingly, linkman doesn't work with tabs.If you doubleclick the
floating linkman icon when viewing one tab, it works correctly. If you then
switch tabs and doubleclick, linkman will try to enter the same link again
except using the current tab's title. 

I suppose tabs are causing problems with any program that attempts to emply some
browser integration? 

Changing the summary of this bug 

from: "Cannot use Mozilla with Linkman bookmark manager"

to: "Linkman 6.5 does not work correctly with tabbed browser"

Should the component changed to "tabbed browser" then?

This can't be fixed by us, must be fixed by the tool itself
