You have the source code and it's not too hard to fix.
In the HOME(), Tools subdirectory, unpack the XSource ZIP. I had it create
subdirectories directly below that one.
Open the TaskPane.PJX.
In the Classes tab, open the foxpane class library and modify panebrowser
class
In the HandleAction() method, search for "linkto"
Comment out the next line of code and add these four lines of code:
loUtility = NEWOBJECT("_shellexecute", "_environ.vcx")
loUtility.ShellExecute(oParameters.GetParam("url"))
RELEASE loUtility
Add the _environ.vcx (located in the HOME(), FFC subdirectory) to the
project and build an app, naming it TaskPaneNew.app or something, to keep
the old one around for backup. Change the Tools, Options, File locations
setting to point to your new Task Pane, and you will get the behavior you
want.
Hey, Ed, looking for a Tip for FPA <g>?

Er - my task pane opens every link in IE. Which means I'm not going to use
it. Now I have used Phoenix I can't use IE anymore, it just annoys me too
much. Not really IE's fault, I am annoyed with most other programs for not
having the same intuitiveness as Phoenix.
I know you said this is "a known oversight" but these aren't even the
vfps:// links these are standard http:// browser links. I don't care how
clever the internal code is, for external links it should respect the
default browser.
BTW, I have both this & Garrett's /. taskpane installed, and apart from the
IE grumble it's all real cool and I am dead impressed. But everytime I click
one of the TaskPane buttons it echoes "container resize" to the _screen..
and if I do resize it I get lots of "container resize"'s. I don't remember
this happening before though, so it may be an issue with ProFoxPane?
