Re: capturing and filling

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

i am very sorry, i got myself in over my head.  i do not undestrand
what you are suggesting.  if a change on the ff side i cannot do it,
bu perhaps you are suggesting making emac pop up an x seector that
chooses the filing option.

for yers i have used an unsophisticated heursitic in the template
simiilar to your teplate suggestion.

but now the problem is htat this essential ff extension is completely
broen for me.  i upgraded firefox, and now it is popping up a window
asking [unselectable text paraphrasing] whether i want emacsclient
oprning protocol iink.

i affirm but no capture occurs.

so no capture at all, never mind a choice of filling.
