v0.9 (alpha)

What's Changed

we changed the way browsers are stored, this will remove some limitation on the way we can manipulate the browser list.

added

• add_browser() function : easy way to add browsers
  • usage : add_browser( browser_id, browser_name, browser_path, browser_args )
  • browser_name , browser_path and browser_args are optional if not provided will use browser_id to get this information
• rm_browsers() function : remove multiple browser from the browser list by using browser_id
  • usage : rm_browser(browse_id, browser_id...)
• --ls-browsers|-lsb option : print the browsers list in table format and exit

v0.8

added variables

• NBROWSER_CACHE_DIR : just a place holder for now, not used yet.
• FIREFOX_BASED_BROWSERS : list of Firefox forks to check for.
• CHROMIUM_BASED_BROWSERS : list of chromium forks to check for.
• OTHER_BASED_BROWSERS : list of other browsers

added functions

• add_browser() : easy way to add a new browser , used like this add_browser 'browser name' 'browser_path --args' .

fixed and improvements

• remove duplicated items in browsers list in open_a_browser() and open_in_browser() .
• decode arg variable in nbrowser:// protocol.
• add check for floorp and firedragon browsers.
• add a way to send additional args to rofi in _choose()
• added mov format to be opened in video player; (related to #18)

testing

i use an `nbrowser add-on' to view my bookmarks. when i open a URL, i usually want it to open in the current browser, and sometimes i want to open more than one URL at the same time.

• BROWSER_FG_FIRST option in open_in_browser() : with this option, the browser in the foreground will be the first choice in the list.
• -m arg in open_in_browser() : this option allow to open multiple URLs at once, can only be called from within the script or add-ons (bangs, dbangs, ubangs, shortcuts or protocol-handler)
