> { - gchar *new_cmd = dialogs_show_input(_("Select Browser"), GTK_WINDOW(main_widgets.window), - _("Failed to spawn the configured browser command. " - "Please correct it or enter another one."), + /* Uses the user's default browser akin to xdg-open (in flatpak through a portal) */ + if (EMPTY(tool_prefs.browser_cmd)) + { + if (gtk_show_uri_on_window(GTK_WINDOW(main_widgets.window), uri, GDK_CURRENT_TIME, NULL)) Seems we already feed file:// URIs to the function, e.g. for ` file:///usr/local/share/doc/geany/html/index.html`. So at least `file://` must be supported, although without the change we explicitly opened the configured browser, and now we rely on GTK do find the right "browser". I hesitate to limit the inputs the function accepts. Webdevelopment plugins may want this function to open arbitrary stuff in the browser. If anything, we might limit to `https://`, `http://` and `file://` but then we might exclude fancy webapps that some plugins could use (they could use `gtk_show_uri_on_window()` directly but lets help them to work on windows as well). And then, on Windows we also do a generic `open`, the `browser_cmd` configuration is not a thing there.
