I just clicked on a secondlife://Sim/X/Y link in my web browser while I had SL open. In 1.6, it would pass that Landmark to the SL client. Now in 1.7, it's trying to open up a new instance of 1.7.

I bugged it. Can anyone else confirm. I may need to uninstall and reinstall to fix this, but even so, the bug would then be that the install of 1.7 should fix this file association.

Aaron, I experience the same. I've not been able to get around it. At first I thought it was opening up the Preview but turns out it's doing multiple instances of my 1.7.0 (53). I use a lot of secondlife:// links from the web. :)

Look who's here. It seems like a bug!

If you haven't bug-reported yet, PLEASE DO!

(I have.) :)

If you click a secondlife:// link without the client already open it does launch and load the map with the selected coordinate but the Teleport button is not enabled! Making this feature useless either way.

I was able to enter using Secondlife://sim/100/100

I did not have the game running at the time and I used Netscape for the web browser. When I entered the URL into the URL line, it activated the game and sent me to the log in page then I appeared at 100/100 in the sim I went to. On the Browser, the web page was left blank.

I believe the Teleport button is not activated, simply, because after arriving in the Game, you have not selected a spot to teleport to. When I tried entering just now, I too had a inactive teleport button. But I was able to easily port to my home location using the home button.
