Steve Scrimpshire Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 (edited) 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 operaopera-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). Edited September 28, 2006 by Steve Scrimpshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camelrider Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 have you tried: usr/bin/opera -newpage %s your path/to/opera may vary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I can get it to open a new page, no problem with either method, but neither raises the window if it is minimized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
