sending address to a script, opera 11.50 ubuntu 11.10
i`m customizing content (file?) type associations in opera on linux systemi want .torrent file link to be sent to a script downloading and saving it
so i go to preferences>advanced>download, select .torrent file extension, edit,
than choose open with other application
and in the corresponding field i write down:
~/scripts/opera_torrent.sh %l
if i understand it right, %l should return the address of the link in *nix systems
(don`t now, where to find some manual on this substitutions - opera tries to keep it secret, so i`ve found it in some blog)
i`m not checking pass web address directly to application option,
because in this case status bar stucks trying to download something
but test output says, that opera sends exactly "%l" characters to the script, not the link.
what am i doing wrong?
Have you tried it without the %l? Also, are you sure that ~ works and you don't have to give the full /home/user path?

To use another BitTorrent client with Opera:
Go to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Downloads
Unselect “Hide file types opened with Opera”
Type “torrent” in the Quick find box
Double-click the line that looks like this:
application/x-bittorrent torrent
Select “Open with default application”
"C:\Programme\Transmission Remote\Transmission Remote.exe" "%s"
opera version 11.52 & windows
open torrent links
Go to Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Downloads
Unselect “Hide file types opened with Opera”
Type “torrent” in the Quick find box
Double-click the line that looks like this:
application/x-bittorrent torrent
Select “Open with default application”
"C:\Programme\Transmission Remote\Transmission Remote.exe" "%s"
opera version 11.52 & windows
open torrent links
It's similar enough. However, the OP describes doing just that, so it would seem to be redundant (on top of the problem already being solved).
