found using today's opt comm bits 2000.04.03.10 on Mac. not a problem on linux or winNT. to repro: 1. select File > Open File (or Command+O) to bring up native Open File dialog. 2. select a file to open (eg, i opened a plain text file; mjudge tried opening an html file). 3. click Open dialog. results: get a dialog saying "<volume_name> is not a registered protocol." the file is not opened --instead another blank browser window appears. unsure which component this should go into --mjudge guessed at Networking (though i might guess XPApps)...
another note: mjudge was able to open a file if he typed the path in the URL Location textfield.

This isn't gagan's problem. We switched to the new nsIFilePicker component to get the file name and it's returning a native path instead of a file: url. We need the latter so that volume names aren't confused with url protocol schemes. I'm not sure how to get a file URL from an nsILocalFile, however. I'm reassigning this to pavlov.

pav: while you're fixing this, note dougt's comment about getting a url from an nsIFile in bug 34365. We need to clean up all the places that use the nsIFileSpec hack.
adding sujay to cc list. btw, this is no longer a problem in the browser (tested on Mac OS 9.0, 2000.04.04.10 opt comm bits).

pavlov is working on this nsIFilePicker should supply a nsIFileURL version of the file.

Expanding to cover remote URL bug, which will be fixed by pavlov as well.

Linux 2000-070120 When clicking file/open file in Composer, nothing happens. (From browser it's ok however, and opens filepicker) If this isn't considered a strictly Mac-bug, it should be reopened.
sujay, tever, could you pls see if this occurs on win32 or mac? if it's xp, then this should be reopened, and pp removed. unless what RK's seeing is another bug --please let us know either way. thx!
ahh forgot about this one: It isn't a problem anymore on linux. I misread this bug. (Prob. on linux is a separate one: "open file" does nothing when clicked on from menu) Sorry for the spam.
