For help on the 26 configuration syntax, use "aethertool.py -c help". 27 28 29 # BUGS 30 31 Aethertool assumes that your browser is called "firefox"; it should use 32 the webbrowser module instead 33 34 Aethertool assumes the command used to invoke the editor doesn't exit 35 until the user is done editing the file. This can cause problems if the 36 editor naturally starts in the background. 37 38 If the user does a 'write and exit' sequence, the file the browser loads 39 to submit page changes may be removed too early, and the last edit lost. 40 41 42 # COPYRIGHT 43 44 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under 45 the terms of the GNU General Public License version 3 as published by the Free 46 Software Foundation. 47 48 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY 49 WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A 50 PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
