Hi!

Under 10.1, I used IE's preferences to set up protocol helpers (I hope this is the correct English term, I'm using a German system). Strangely enough, this seemed to be the only way I could tell the system to open Pitbull when I click a pitbull: or hotline: link. Now I have tried this with Jaguar, and it doesn't work anymore. I wonder if it's broken, or if I have just forgotten an important step.
Has anybody tried this, yet?
Thanks!

try the preference pane in my sig.

p.s. Do not have IE running while you are changing the helper apps - It over-writes all the prefs when it quits.

Thanks for your help, but it still doesn't work. Have you tried this with Jaguar?
Another thing: Dragging Pitbull from a different volume onto the icon made the System Preferences unexpectedly quit after 1 second or two. Copying Pitbull to the volume that contains the system and then dragging it fixed this.
