application.showURL opens up a browser in Ubuntu Linux

Classic Servoy
1

Hi, I just wanted to know if this is can be configured in Servoy or in the OS.

  1. When I call application.showURL in Linux Ubuntu environment, it opens up a browser and then automatically opens the application.
  2. But when I call application.showURL in Windows environment, it immediately opens the application without opening up a browser.
    Is the functionality open-a-browser configurable in Servoy or is this OS dependent?

Thanks

this is i think something the browser does.

For example what happens if you set firefox as the default browser in windows?

I don’t think so.

No browser is opened.

what kind of url do you give to that call then?

i do notice on windows that IE really quickly opens and then closes right after it…
So you think it didn’t open IE but in reality it did.

Are you trying to open a file with its application?
