Something wrong with links in 2.03?

Post by js »

After installing Nisus 2.03 my links don't work properly any more:
Right click plus "Show linked file in finder" does nothing.
Right click plus "Open link" does what "Show linked file in finder" is supposed to do.

This is a bug in the update, and is something we'll have to fix. It turns out it's triggered by the "localhost" prefix at the start of some links. If you need, you could workaround the problem by clipping it from your links.

For example, if your link URL is:

Code: Select all

file://localhost/Users/js/Desktop/image.jpg
Edit that so it becomes:

Code: Select all

file:///Users/js/Desktop/image.jpg
Sorry for the trouble.

Thank you Martin.
I have many hundreds of those links. I wonder if you could provide a macro that eliminates the word "localhost" from the URL of all links of a file?
Of course it would also be good to know that after your correcting the bug this word will not be necessary again ...
