Browse/only
[1/6] from: sunandadh::aol::com at: 21-Feb-2002 4:52
Hi all,
The documentation says the /only refinement to 'browse means "Don't open a
new window if possible".
On my setup (Win 98, View/not Pro, tried various default browsers) I *always*
get a new window. As a trivial example:
loop 5 [browse/only what-dir]
gets me five identical windows, and
forever [browse/only what-dir]
would be a one-line DOS attack.
Any one any idea of setting up the conditions so Rebol will reuse an existing
browser window?
Thanks,
Sunanda.

reuse windows"

I tried this under View/Pro on Win95 with Opera . . . same results as you.
Opera has a "Reuse existing window" option which did not make any
difference. If a similar option in IE doesn't work it may be worth a note
to feedback ;)
Regards,

Thanks for the advice guys.
I've tried heaps of things with several browsers, and also Win/ME. Always a
new window. Maybe its a windows thing.
I'll ask Feedback as Ashley suggests,

I did. They said:
>Yes, that's true. The Browse/only option is not functional at this time.
> We have it on our "to be fixed list".

browse/only what's the rule?
Hi, under which circumstances does browse/only reuse the browser window? I would
like to have the functionality that browse/only will start a new browser windows
the first time and all further calls to browser reuse this window.
