I tried to setup here org-protocol with firefox, first the docu is very old does refer to gnome 2:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html#sec-3-1 So after searching around I found a howto to make the protocol known by apps with a desktop file and the command update-desktop-database like descripted here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7464951/how-to-make-org-protocol-work I have following in my init.el: (require 'org-protocol) (setq org-protocol-default-template-key "l") (setq org-capture-templates '(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "~/notes/notes.org" "BLA") "* TODO %?\n %i\n %a") ("l" "Link" entry (file+olp "~/notes/notes.org" "Web Links") "* %a\n %?\n %i") its running in servermode. If I call it manually at least with org-capture links it works like excepted: emacsclient org-protocol://capture://http://slash.org/ I get a capture buffer and can add that url and it gets added. Now the strange behaviour, with that desktop file I got firefox to ask at least for a programm if I enter there such a url, and I choose org-protocol, what I get as choice from the desktop file. But then nothing happens in emacs. So again pasting this url into epiphany, emacs opens a new file buffer with the name: "~org-protocol:/capture/http:/slash.org/" (its a fundamental buffer) So I dont know why but I tried the same link in epiphany a bit different: org-protocol:/capture://slash.org so removing one of the slashes after org-protocol helps also he doesnt like the http:// in the string. So do u think thats a gnome bug (I am using fedora 20 with the gnome COPR). here is my org-protocol.desktop file: [Desktop Entry] Name=org-protocol Exec=emacsclient '%u' Type=Application Terminal=false Categories=System; MimeType=x-scheme-handler/org-protocol; thanx for any advise!
