Re: launching gif in default browser...?

My app outputs GIFs, which I want to auto launch into the default browser when created.

If I create a url to the outputted GIF file and ask IC to launch it, it opens in Preview, which isn't very conducive to actually seeing the resulting file animate as it just show individual frames.

I'm wondering what is the best/easiest way to force it to launch into the default browser. The only way I see to do it is this:

Get the creator code of the default web broswer with code like:

err = ICGetPref(icInstance, kICHelperHTTP, &icAttr, (Ptr) &targetSpec, &dataSize);
if (err == noErr)
signature = targetSpec.fCreator;

Then use the creator and apple events to find if running, or launch if not, the app with the creator code, then ae the file over to it.

But this seems like a lot of work (and do I really want to be working with creator codes these days?!?!)

How about creating an HTML document in the same location as the image. The HTML would simply contain the <img> tag. Then, create a file:// URL and have IC open it.
