Hi Achim, thanks for this input. THis makes it more complicated. Do you know how I would test this? I do know about the variable window-system, but that will also return nil when Emacs is running in an xterm, even though xdg-open would be working in this case. Since we are close to a release, maybe I should revert the commit for now and solve this with more time. - Carsten > > > Regards, > Achim. > -- > +<[Q+ Matrix-12 WAVE#46+305 Neuron microQkb Andromeda XTk Blofeld]>+ > > Factory and User Sound Singles for Waldorf rackAttack: > http://Synth.Stromeko.net/Downloads.html#WaldorfSounds > >
