Using Google Chrome with Slickedit

[GeoffreyF67]

Has anyone here successfully used Google Chrome with slickedit?

I've set the application that should be launched for any browser activity to:

"/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome" --new-window "%F"

When it tries to launch I get this error:

Any ideas on how to get this to work are appreciated.

Just to be clear, you set that string in Options > Network & Internet Options > Web Browser Setup, right? You selected the "Other" radio button and put the string in the "Program" field. Did you uncheck "Use DDE".  If not, please do so.

I did that and used this string, which has the path to Chrome on my machine:
"C:\Documents and Settings\swestfall\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --new-window "%F"

And everything works fine for me. What platform are you using? Can you post the Help > About information?

What are you doing to launch the browser. I did my testing my Ctrl+Right-Click on a URL in a comment.

[GeoffreyF67]

Yes, that's the window I used.  Use DDE isn't available (it's unchecked anyway).

I'm using OS X Snow Leopard.

I am trying to launch via the debugger (step into).

I also tried -url instead of -new-window -- same results.

I was trying to get help to load for several hours with Google Chrome and it kept loading Safari when I finally saw in the help that the browser setting is ignored for help - WTF?

Here is my info...

I don't have Chrome installed on any of my Macs yet. (Getting that now...)
In the meantime, can you try changing the command to open with Chrome to this:
open -a "Google Chrome" --args --new-window "%F"

[Matthew]

Ok. Here's the syntax.
open -a "Google Chrome" "%F" --args --new-window

[GeoffreyF67]

Sweet!

That launches the right window.

Now I just have to figure out what the cause of the "unable to launch debugger version not supported".

This really should be in your knowledgebase!
