Change Default Browser

Hey all - I'm using the SABnzbd build for OS X found here: http://osx.boiboite.net/.

What I'm wondering is if there is any way to change the default browser application that SABnzbd opens when started.  I have created a new dedicated app using fluid (http://fluidapp.com/) that will open the SAB browser page.  I'd like this to open instead of having the page open in my default browser.

I can think of two ways to do this, but need help to accomplish either way:

1. Disable the browser opening (I see this can be done via a command line argument) and simply add an instruction to launch my app in the folder action script I am already using to open SAB (when and nzb lands in my downloads folder).  I just don't know how to make command line arguments execute with the mac version of the program.

2. Somehow tell SAB to use my application as the default browser.

Can anyone help me do this?

P.S.  I did find the SABnzbdGUI which is totally sweet, but also fails to keep SAB from opening a browser window when it starts.

SABnzbd uses whatever browser the Operating System thinks is the default browser.

Use a shell script to 1) launch SABnzbd 2) wait for it to be ready 3) launch your fav program.

For 0.4beta versions navigate to Config>switched and turn "Launch browser on startup:" off
for 0.3.4 you need to add this to your ini:

Code: Select all

auto_browser = 0
