[Feature Request] copy hyperlink to clipboard for update notice on Linux for root user #82

Open roboirc opened 4 years ago

When new version is available, a popup comes on Ubuntu 18.04 but it is not a hyperlink which opens in the default browser, only simple text that cannot be selected. Please make the new version link into a hyperlink. Thanks!

What's the benefit of a hyperlink?

roboirc commented 4 years ago

It would make life easier for the person updating Bleachbit on Linux where xdg-open would open up the default browser. As it is, it shows up as simple text in a dialog box.

I am talking about this dialog that pops up. Please make this link an actual link that opens up via xdg-open: https://pasteboard.co/IXc9WyY.png

OK, the screenshot helps me understand.

Note to self: The concern is in function open_url() and the related string is "Because you are running as root, please manually open this link in a web browser"

Make the option: "Update to new version..." open up a browser window using xdg-open in Linux instead of showing the link in plain text. Thanks.
