Updated gEdit "Browser Preview" plugin

I updated my gEdit "Browser Preview" plugin, some bug fixes and feature enhancements:
* the plugin now checks first if IEs4Linux is installed, if not it tries to start the Internet Explorer 6 from the default Wine directory
* for testing webpages on the Webkit browser engine the plugin checks if Midori is installed if not it tries to run Konquerer
* if you opened a HTML document from a FTP server the "ftp://" will replaced by "http://" in the browser

gEdit Browser Preview plugin

plugin, gedit, external, tool ...

On my way bringing SweeTS - delicious TypoScript development to Linux, i wrote another plugin called "Browser Preview". This plugin showing the current webpage you are editing in gEdit directly in Firefox, Opera, Midori or Konquerer and the Internet Explorer 6. This plugin is completely localized in german and english.

How it works:
* you have to install all the browsers on your system
* Internet Explorer 6 support is done by IEs4Linux in standard configuration and includes path converting
* Copy the files browser.gedit-plugin and browser.py into ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins
* Start gEdit and enable the plugin "Browser Preview" in the preferences
* After a restart the plugin appears in the View menu
* Assign the typical shortcuts "F12", "Ctrl+F12" etc. to the different Browsers in the menu
