Comment #14 on issue 20413 by [email protected]: Default Browser Indications are Wrong http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=20413
Many desktop environments require .desktop files for certain uses of applications; they connect an icon, internationalized names, default arguments, a binary, and a variety of other things together in one place. When you install a Chrome or Chromium package the package takes care of creating such a file and registering it with the system, but the zip file can't do that. The wrapper script checks for and creates one, and also tells the "chrome" binary what it's named so that it can use that when setting itself as the default. (Then the binary just runs xdg-settings to actually set itself as the default.) I've created a separate bug (bug 25738) that xdg-settings should do a better job of detecting this situation and reporting the correct error, rather than claiming success. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
