Additional Comments

This is how you can open filterforge filters from firefox. 1) As root, open a text editor and create the file /usr/bin/filterforge. Copy and paste the script below, adjusting for your own wine configuration. #!/bin/sh export WINEARCH=win32 export WINEPREFIX=~/.wine wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Filter\ Forge\ 4/Bin/Filter\ Forge.exe $@ 2) Save the file, and then as root run the command "chmod +x /usr/bin/filterforge", without the quotes. 3) In firefox, type "about:config" into the address bar (without quotes) and hit enter. 4) Right click, select New->Boolean. Enter the name as "network.protocol-handler.expose.filterforge" without the quotes, and then set the value to false. 5) On any filter's page, click on the button "Open this filter in Filter Forge". Firefox will prompt you for a program to open the filterforge link with. Select /usr/bin/filterforge, and then confirm. NOTE: When attempting to open filter links, Filterforge will frequently popup a warning message that it could not connect to the server. Simply hit Retry and it should work normally (unless you are having internet problems, of course)
