261968 - The Agile PDM viewer doesn't launch when HTML documents is selected to be launced by Mozilla.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Brian Langevin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910 in Preferences | System | Windows should use Mozilla to open these file types.

The Agile PDM system has a built in viewer that can view several file formats,
DXF being one of them.  If HTML is set for Windows to use to view these file
type the Agile viewer does not function and Mozilla is launched.  As soon as I
uncheck HTML in Mozilla the Agile viewer works as expected.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Mozilla to instruct Windows to use Mozilla to open HTML documents.
2. Launch Agile viewer and it won't start but Mozilla does.
3. Turn off HTML in Mozilla and the Agile viewer works as expected.

Actual Results:  
With HTML in Mozilla turned on the Agile viewer doesn't work.  With HTML off the
Agile viewer works correctly.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should not interfere with the Agile viewer.

at a guess, Agile is broken and not correctly using its own key, alternatively
it is not correctly nuking the DDE key.

please use regedit and export the keys related to html. (.html, whatever key
@default in .html references)
