As gnome-open $url works fine, I conclude that whatever it is that handles .desktop files at fault.
gnome-open test.desktop does not do anything, as there is no MIME handler for the type. Presumably, then, Nautilus is short-circuiting. So Nautilus is at fault, by my judgement. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => nautilus ** Summary changed: - Links not working when url contains parameters (quotation mark) + Links not working when url contains parameters (question mark) -- Links not working when url contains parameters (question mark) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214170 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
