URL's containing "=" do not open in web browser

[NZFlyingKiwi]

URL's that contain the "=" character do not open in the default web browser, rather they open the file explorer, as if they where a local link.

Sample URL: "https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us?app=drivers"

Hm, I cannot reproduce this with version 2.9.2. What version and platform are you using?

[NZFlyingKiwi]

Version 2.9.2 (2023-04-13)

Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2 19044.2606

If I remove the = it works.

I will try with my home system, if I have the time I may try compiling a debugging.

Strange. I have (besides Linux) the same setup and it works. Though I have as application to open external links (in Settings menu):

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

Same setting for you or something different?

I did not specify a browser so it uses the default which is edge, other links work fine.

Can you change that in settings to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe and see if that helps? Default should be "explorer", I think.

Will let you know, thanks.

Hi,

Installed on my home system and same result. Interestingly "www.google.co.nz" will also open in explorer.exe, ie missing the "https:/"

Changed to the explicit path and it worked as expected.

Regards, Andrew.

Also on Windows 10 I have set the app to open external links in Settings to

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"

and both your links open in MS edge as expected. I am going to change the default in vym from explorer to edge, then.

Changed in development versions for 3.x
