Nevermind my last comment. This works in chromium (no idea about snapd). To get this to work in chromium, first make sure it works for xdg-open.
Click on the link that you want to be opened automatically in some application. When it downloaded, right-click on it (the button that appeared on the bottom) and select "Always open files of this type"; this will cause chromium to use xdg-open next time you open a file of that type. To make xdg-open work, run "xdg-mime query filetype the-downloaded-file", this should print the correct mime type. Then run "xdg-mime query default that-mime-type", this should print the desktop file that you want to use, aka "myapplication.desktop". Inside that .desktop then (.local/share/applications/the-file.desktop), there should be the lines Exec=/path/your/application and MimeType=that-mime-type Anyway, plenty of tutorial on xdg on the net. I missed the chromium trick to make it use xdg-open in the first place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1776873 Title: Whitelisted allowedURLschemes breaks some desktop apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/snapd/+bug/1776873/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
