Any Way to Convert cel:// To Something Else?

Post #1by theinfamousj » 22.10.2008, 21:20

I'm a teacher who is trying to use Celesita on my network. We are not allowed to install any programs to our computers, so we are using the Portable Apps which have been working beautifully. The students really enjoy it.

However, they want to use cel:// links. Since it is a Portable Application, the computer does not recognize that the program is there and so the cel:// links are not activated within the program.

Is there any way to import those links into the program. A place to paste them, perhaps? Or a way to convert them to bookmarks?

On Windows, you can activate cel URLs by dragging and dropping them from an HTML page into the Celestia window.

Does this also work with url's in MS Office or another application?
