xdg-open hyperlinks does not work in gvim

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load wiki with external hyperlinks into linux gvim
2. follow hyperlink
3. nothing happens

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
i'd like to see url opened in my browser.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
vimwiki 2.0.1, gui vim 7.3, linux mint 14

Please provide any additional information below.

It can be fixed easily by changing linux_handler in base.vim to run xdg-open in 
background:

  function! s:linux_handler(url)
    execute 'silent !xdg-open ' . shellescape(a:url, 1) . '>&/dev/null &'
  endfunction

Thanks! I believe this is fixed in the current vimwiki... Looks very like the 
Issue 381. Could you check it?

oh, sorry, missed it because I use vim-scripts repository version. It works 
fine, thanks. But I guess redirecting stdout and stderr to /dev/null wouldn't 
hurt though.
