hi miller, hi tcl devs ...
there are two problems when using menu->help->html ...
if firefox isn't running, it starts, but i get a lovely tk error window: No running windows found No running windows found while executing "exec sh -c [format "firefox file:%s || mozilla file:%s &\n" $filename $filename]" (procedure "menu_openhtml" line 5) invoked from within "menu_openhtml $dirname/$basename" (procedure "menu_doc_open" line 9) invoked from within "menu_doc_open doc/1.manual index.htm" invoked from within ".#mbar.#mbar#help invoke active" ("uplevel" body line 1) invoked from within "uplevel #0 [list $w invoke active]" (procedure "tk::MenuInvoke" line 50) invoked from within "tk::MenuInvoke .#mbar.#mbar#help 1" (command bound to event)
(well, this is basically correct, since i'm not running windows :)
thinks are getting more ugly, if i'm running pd as sudo application: No running windows found Error launching firefox:
There are files in your profile that are owned by a user other than root. firefox can't execute in this condition. Here are some of the files that I found: /home/tim/.mozilla/firefox /home/tim/.mozilla/firefox/77pzurz3.default /home/tim/.mozilla/firefox/77pzurz3.default/88581930.s /home/tim/.mozilla/firefox/77pzurz3.default/Cache /home/tim/.mozilla/firefox/77pzurz3.default/Cache/27F9E723d01 /home/tim/.mozilla/firefox/77pzurz3.default/Cache/640505B4d01 /home/tim/.mozilla/firefox/77pzurz3.default/Cache/7FF77D9Ad01 /home/tim/.mozilla/firefox/77pzurz3.default/Cache/ABC726BDd01 /home/tim/.mozilla/firefox/77pzurz3.default/Cache/D9747808d01 /home/tim/.mozilla/firefox/77pzurz3.default/Cache/EA53F4C8d01 ...
You can fix this problem by running the following: su -c 'chown -R root:root /home/tim/.mozilla'
sh: mozilla: command not found No running windows found Error launching firefox:

... this can be left as user bug / firefox bug / firefox configuration issue ...
cheers ... tim
