Where are Toolbar Shortcuts?

Post #1by toadatrix » 26.07.2004, 03:51

I am a new user of Celestia 1.3.1 and have it installed under SuSE 9.1 Pro running from KDE 3.2. The program seems to work fine, except nothing happens when I click on the various options on the lower toolbar such as:

Follow Earth
Moon Librations from Earth
Mars Fly-by

When I right click on the Follow Earth button it gives me the followig:
cel://follow/Sol%3AEarth/2002-12-04T07% ... =6035&lm=0

Is this a script or something? Where is it supposed to be located? From looking at the posts on this board I wonder if I am missing the files for these scripts. Where can I obtain them? Thanks.

Dear toadatrix:


That text is what is called a CELL URL. It's a way to save and post a particular position, time and settings. That's the way you can build a list of preferred sightings, or bookmarks.
The problem of CELL URLs (i.e., bookmarks) not working in SuSE Linux has been just answered by Christophe here. Perhaps it would be useful for you also.

In fact I thought the problem was from within Konqueror only. If cel urls don't work at all, even from Celestia's bookmark menu and toolbar, then the problem is with the binary provided by SUSE.

Please file a bug report with them.

No it is not the binary of the SuSE distro. If you compile celestia 1.3.1 yourself under SuSE 9.1, the bookmarks still don't work.
Pentium M Dothan 2 GHz * 1GB RAM * ATI FireGL T2 128 MB
SuSE 9.1 * kernel 2.6.5-7.108 * XFree 4.3.99 fglrx 3.11.1
