system.verbs.builtins.Frontier.tools.data.nodeTypes.file.expand

<<Changes
	<<12/1/01; 5:36:12 PM by JES
		<<Expand the node in a try, so errors can be presented to the user. If the file has no URL attribute, display an error.
	<<12/1/01; 5:10:00 PM by JES
		<<Set display to false, to make the outline update look smoother.
	<<8/10/01; 7:10:51 PM by JES
		<<Call Frontier.tools.windowTypes.commands.openUrl, which is the bottleneck for the File->Open URL command. If the file can be inserted as a sub-outline, it will be, otherwise it's opened in the web browser.
	<<12/31/00; 5:34:31 PM by JES
		<<On Macs, convert opml to Mac text before converting to an outline.
	<<Archive
		<<Sat, Dec 2, 2000 at 5:53:29 PM by JES
			<<Properly handle URLs that don't end in .html, and URLs that start with file:///.
		<<Thursday, September 28, 2000 at 2:09:40 AM by JES
			<<Bring the web browser to the front when opening html files.
		<<Wednesday, September 20, 2000 at 2:15:14 PM by PBS
			<<Call playlist.httpClient so the script can accept OPML documents.

This listing is for code that runs in the OPML Editor environment. I created these listings because I wanted the search engines to index it, so that when I want to look up something in my codebase I don't have to use the much slower search functionality in my object database. Dave Winer.
