My development setup:
application version: 1.0.81-dev 64 bit
git commit 22fe4702210119fc806b2a9508d05c5a6a3f216c
system version: MSys2 MinGW 64 bit under Win7 64 bit
Qt version: Qt 5.14.2 MSys2 MinGW 64 bit
webkit: 602.1
Problem: Message box pops up with this message
"There was a problem sending the command to the program."
Note: The html file is opened in the browser okay.
Step 1: Register file extensions
Tools -> Preferences
Click on button "Set as a default browser"
The next two steps are not needed for My development setup
Checkmark the file extensions
Click on save
Step 2: Right click on an html file and select open
Attached zipped patch file that seems to fix the issue.
The only change in the patch is to comment out the next line in WindowsPlatformIntegration.cpp
m_propertiesRegistration.setValue(QLatin1String("shell/open/ddeexec/."), {});
Edit: I had to delete the bad registry entry during testing.
`[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\OtterBrowser\shell\open\ddeexec]
