Hi. I’ve have Sunrise Desktop 0.42j working on my Windows XP, IE 6 system for a while. Unfortunately, I decided to “upgrade” my browser to IE 7 and now “Send to Sunrise” doesn’t work anymore. When I right click on the browser and select "Send to Sunrise" I don’t get the dialog that used to pop up that prompted me for the title.

As an interesting side note, when I go to the “Send To Sunrise” web page that is located in my Sunrise folder, the “Send to Sunrise” function does work!? Maybe there’s just a simple setting that will tell IE 7 to let Send to Sunrise to work on all web pages??? Thanks for any help.

Hmmmm. May not be an obvious simple fix? Does anyone have “Send to Sunrise” working with Sunrise Desktop 0.42j working under Windows XP and IE 7? Maybe I should use a different version of Sunrise Desktop? Thanks for any info/help.

I would try a reinstall, otherwise, I don't know.

You could try Sunrise XP, which has a "Clip with Sunrise XP" option. You can still use the Sunrise Java version for retrieving regular sites and use Sunrise XP just for clipping web pages.

Jupiter – thanks, yeah I forgot to post that I did try a re-install of Sunrise with no luck.

Laurens – Would I remove my current version then install the XP version, or have both installed at the same time? If I remove my current version will I have to re-save my current links? Thanks.

You can use both versions side-by-side.

Has anyone gotten this to work yet? I can't send anything to Sunrise with the new IE. Please help! :blink:
Thank you!

Laurens – Hi. I installed Sunrise XP and the "Clip with Sunrise XP" works :) , but it seems like it acts like a cut and paste function and does not log the link in the main document window (like Send to Sunrise) :( . Is there a way for the "Clip with Sunrise" to also save the link like "Send to Sunrise", or does Sunrise XP have a "Send to Sunrise" like function?

Make sure "Include URL info" on the "Advanced" tab is checked.

Laurens - Hi. I'm must be missing something simple. I right click on the Explorer Window and select "Clip to with Sunrise XP" and the Document Properties Dialog appears. In the "Advanced" tab the "Include URL info" is selected. When I select OK the "Sunrise XP Clip" Dialog appears, shows my document moving to my sync, and completes successfully. I close the dialog box and look in the main window and it's empty (it doesn't have the link I just downloaded). When I HotSync my Palm I do get the documents, the only thing I'm missing is saving the link so I can just Update it in the future. Know what I’m missing?

No, you can't do this with Sunrise XP. Clipping is a one-time thing only.

Oh, OK. Guess that's why I couldn't get it to work. ;-) Thanks for the info.

Thanks from me also. That pretty much explains the behavior being different from the SR desktop. sooooo, I was wondering if there are command line options that could make this happen, say by using Launchy extension xml arguments, a la:
<label>Send to SunriseXP</label>
<type>5</type>
<command>c:\program files\sunrisexpsunrisexp.exe</command>
<arguments>????????????????????????</arguments>
</application>

I guess one could create and append to a separate .sxl/OPML as well, but the command line interface would be a great way to do something like this. I don't see command line arguments in the doc.s so I'm guessing it's not an option.

No, there are no CL options for this.
