I figured it out. LXDE doesn't really have a sane way of setting the default browser, so I used a workaround by putting this line into my launch script:

| Code: export BROWSER="/usr/bin/google-chrome" | |

In the next release of Cool Viewer, would it be possible to include an option to manually specify which browser it uses as the external browser when opening links? I've been having issues with it ignoring my default browser settings (set from both GNOME and KDE). |

I'm afraid this is a problem with the configuration of your system, since the viewer (either official or any third parties') uses the default browser set in Gnome or KDE... Under Linux, when trying to open an URL with an external browser, the viewer executes the launch_url.sh script which is to be found in the viewer installation directory. You could review this script to see what's wrong on your system, and/or add debug code to it to find out what's happening exactly. |
