calling for help from Guayadeque

Post by camaron »

Just noticed that if you click on Help>Help or Help>Community Guayadeque launches Firefox even if my default browser is other. Wouldn't be possible for Guayadeque to launch the system default browser?

You can choose your browser in Preferences > Online > Browser command

That's the point, I've got chromium there but Guayadeque still launches Firefox from Help

I tried changing it to chromium-browser and google-chrome and it works with both.

Or do you mean that there should be no option to configure your browser from within guayadeque and that it should just use whatever you have set as system default?
I would agree with that.

No, what I meant is: I've got chromium configured as my default browser in Guayadeque, and Guayadeque launches chromium in all instances but the help menu.....

...only that in fact I don't have chromium as the default option.....Ughh!! my apologies :)

launching the default browser In my opinion is a better choice

@anonbeat

Just need a way to find out the default configured browser for every possible condition: gnome, kde, xfce, flubox, ...
I really think the simplest way is have that option but If I find a way to get the default browser I dont mind to change it

On GNOME systems the default browser can be invoked with
x-www-browser I don't know if there is a similar command in other environments.
