Trouble opening URLs with Web Pirate as the default browser #82

Closed JeffHoogland closed 8 years ago

JeffHoogland commented 8 years ago

I have web pirate set as the default browser using Mimer. When Web Pirate is closed and I click on a link in an email or other application it opens web pirate with the link as expected.

However - when web pirate is already open and I click on a URL in a different application - the application focus correctly changes back to web pirate, but the selected URL is not opened.

It must however Sailfish handles hyper links that is the issue - because if I run:

harbour-webpirate http://google.com

From a terminal while Web Pirate is open - it opens the URL given in a new tab as expected.

Let me know if I can provide other information useful in debugging this or if there is a work around. I searched the issues but did not see anything like this.

Don't set the default Web application with mimer. It doesn't support the dbus magic that is necessary for this to work properly.

What is the proper way to make this the default web browser then?

Dax89 commented 8 years ago

@JeffHoogland From WebPirate 2.x you can set it as default browser from settings.

Ahhh - I was still using version 1.7 from the Jolla store.

Thank you!
