Evince is using g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri(), which can use the portal interface: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/-/blob/main/shell/ev- window.c#L6775-6778 However, it only does this as a fallback if no desktop file supports the URI. This is intended to allow a confined app to handle some file types within the sandbox before falling back to portals for everything else. In the case of Evince running on the host system and seeing all the desktop files in /usr/share/applications and other locations, it likely won't ever call the portal API. It'd be possible to code in explicit portal API calls, but it isn't something that Evince packaged as a flatpak or snap would need. So it might end up as a distro patch we'd be on the hook to maintain forever. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evince in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1794064 Title: Clicking a hyperlink in a PDF fails to open it if the default browser is a snap To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/1794064/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
