Port as a cli option

[Phidel]

Is it possible to add a port to the command line options of zeal?

Can you elaborate on what exactly you are looking for? Something like what is described in #400?

When opening a page in the browser from Zeal using "Open Page in Desktop Browser" menu item, the page opens at an address like

http://127.0.0.1:60540/django/doc/index.html

where the port constantly changes upon restarting Zeal.

I need either

• a permanent address with a fixed port.
• or the ability to open any HTML page from docsets in Zeal (not by keyword, but simply by the path to the page).

The reason for this: I wrote a full-text search system for local Zeal docsets. After certain pages are found in the local docsets, my script outputs a list of links to these pages. When a user clicks on a link to a page, it needs to open in the browser or in Zeal itself.

In the first case, I need to know the port under which Zeal is running its internal HTTP server. In the second case, I need a command-line parameter to open the document in Zeal itself. As far as I know, there is no such option.

Sounds reasonable. Converted to an issue - #1774.
