@eht16 Yep, works now (at least on latest Linux Mint anyway) - thanks! Sorry for the late reply. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3468#issuecomment-2039586529 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread. Message ID:

I think we can close this now since #3178 is merged. @ntrel when use start current GIT master Geany with a fresh config, will it use the correct browser? FTR, the "sensible-browser" default is patched in by Debian (and Ubuntu inherits this change). As pointed out earlier, Geany had the default "firefox" but now it uses GTK to find the system's default browser. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3468#issuecomment-1763341750 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Ahhh, I figured it out, when I ran the wrong version of geany (see #3451) specifying this config it probably wrote the LM system defaults. Nothing a quick delete won't fix :-). So yes its Ubuntu that sets those values for terminal and browser, but thats totally allowable for distros to do that, they may not provide xterm or firefox by default. @ntrel I totally agree that results should be checked, but I'm not sure what Geany can do if it detects failure (except write some message to debug). Possibly one of the solutions from #2444 or #3178 might be better than fixed values, security oriented distros, lightweight distros, libre oriented distros, all commonly change the browser (even if its a de-trademarked firefox, its name changes). I wouldn't worry if the solution is Linux specific, windows and mac are `#ifdef`ed anyway. And users (me for eg) often prefer different browsers. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3468#issuecomment-1523201927 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

Hmmm, no actual solution, but I ran the built from git Geany with a non-existant config dir, and it switched the settings back to usual defaults: `x-terminal-emulator` -> `xterm` `sensible-browser` -> `firefox` and now `Help` runs firefox but does not work because I didn't build the local doco so its looking for `https://www.geany.org/manual/1.39/index.html` which of course does not exist. @ntrel Is that your problem? As to how the setting values above got into the local config `~/git-geany/config` from the default config `~/.config/geany` I don't know. Maybe a GP plugin does something wrong, will check later. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3468#issuecomment-1523056271 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
