276700 - Loading page requested by another application conflict

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 167245

(Camino Graveyard :: Tabbed Browsing, defect)

Description

[Emanuel Ravelli]

2004123108 (v0.8+)

Tabs preferences "Loading a page requested by another application" set to "Opens
a new tab in the frontmost window" does not do so if "Load opened windows or
tabs in the background" is checked.

Logic suggests that "Load opened windows or tabs in the background" applies only
to new windows or tabs opened from within Camino, and that "Loading a page
requested by another application" preferences are specific to that task only.

Happy New Year!

Closing as this works perfectly as it should.

This does NOT "[W]ork perfectly as it should." It works perfectly but illogically.

There are two functions here.

1. To open a new tab or window from within Camino;
2. To open a new tab or window in Camino from another application.

The user should have the option of loading the page in the background or
foreground for each of the above with a <Load opened windows or tabs in the
background> checkbox for each. See how OmniWeb 5 handles these functions.

Reporter, the bug you want is bug 167245.  Closing this bug as a dupe of that one.
