Re: SaveLink: opening a .url file selected from the FileViewer of GWorkspace: Fixed

Hello All,

I finally fixed the path issue using the following code with 
'lastObject' to handle the different arguments count:

> NSArray *arguments = [[NSProcessInfo processInfo] arguments];
>   // Check if there are any arguments passed
>     if ([arguments count] > 1)      {
>         NSString *filePath = [arguments lastObject]; // The first

I answer myself: yes, the arguments count differs and the 'lastObject' 
method was the solution.
