opera --remote 'raise()' doesn't work

[Steve Scrimpshire]

Either I am completely misunderstanding how this is supposed to work, or it just doesn't.

opera --remote 'openURL(http://url.com, new-page)'

works fine, but I cannot get it to raise a lowered window.

What's up?

< root /home/omar > rpm -qa | grep opera

opera-9.02-20060919.6

 

Edit: Some of the docs say the command is 'opera -remote' and others say 'opera --remote' and both work for openURL. and lower() also doesn't work. I'm running Fluxbox if that matters (it also doesn't work in Gnome).

have you tried:

 

usr/bin/opera -newpage %s

 

your path/to/opera may vary.

I can get it to open a new page, no problem with either method, but neither raises the window if it is minimized.

I have 8.51, and it seems to partially work. raise() brings the window up if it's minimized, but doesn't bring it in front of other windows. lower() doesn't minimize it, but sends it to the back behind other windows. If the window isn't minimized, raise() doesn't appear to do anything. openURL(url) and openURL(url,new-page) both work.
