Public bug reported: On our standard desktop product with unity7, url-dispatcher does not work.
It would be nice if it did, as we start having pieces of Touch come over to the desktop, convergence style. For example, unity8-greeter has support for opening apps inside the session (via launcher or indicators). It uses a combination of a system daemon and url-dispatcher (inside the session) to do this. But this doesn't work on unity7. In this case, I could patch unity8-greeter to do something different for unity7, but it seems like it would be nicer to make url-dispatcher a little more general. If it's not in a Touch environment, the url-dispatcher service could just launch xdg-open for each URL it gets. ** Affects: url-dispatcher (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1612255 Title: url-dispatcher should use xdg-open as a fallback if not in Touch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/url-dispatcher/+bug/1612255/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
