It's Trinity[0] in version 3.5.13. But it seems there is some more work to do than just in Desktop.Type, e.g. if I select a directory in the IDE's project TreeView and "Open in file manager..." (I guess this is Desktop's Open() method), it starts Firefox. And there was some commonly used file format (which I can't recall) which it insisted to open with "kdesvn". But these may be configuration problems on my side. I always wanted to fix it but found myself to have gotten used to it by now. For Desktop.Type, I see several mentions of Trinity in my environment variables, most notably it is DESKTOP_SESSION=trinity Regards, Tobi [0] https://www.trinitydesktop.org/ -- "There's an old saying: Don't change anything... ever!" -- Mr. Monk ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
