Re: No Service matching 'OpenURL'

Hello,

As we already discussed about the needed service to provide an openURL 
action, I tried to set some...

- First stage: trying to get a working service to open an URL selected 
in a text.

But it is not yet successful. I have not the error message, "Failed to 
contact service provider for 'Open URL'", but nothing happens when I 
use the menu "Services >  Open URL".

I am attaching a basis of that work:

<GNUmakefile><openURLServiceInfo.plist><service.m>

Maybe you will find something obvious I am not able to see.
