[Linux] x-scheme-handler/mailto MimeType not specified in desktop file
The wavebox.desktop
file in the Linux version should include x-scheme-handler/mailto
in the MimeType
values so that mailto links can open correctly in Wavebox.
Currently (using KDE) clicking mailto links results in this error:
Unable to create io-slave. klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'mailto'.
Adding x-scheme-handler/mailto
to the desktop file's MimeType
fixes this issue and allows mailto links to open in Wavebox.
Can you please provide the version of wavebox you are using going to: Settings -> About
I'm using the latest version.
If you download the Linux tarball, open it up and look at the wavebox.desktop
file, the MimeType line looks like this:
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml_xml;image/webp;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;x-scheme-handler/ftp;
Notice x-scheme-handler/mailto
is not included. If you look at Google Chrome's desktop file for example, you'll see it includes this mimetype. I noticed this difference when mailto links worked fine with Chrome, but not with Wavebox. At least in my DE.
Thanks, I've added this in and it will go out in the next release!
Awesome!
