[Linux] Leadwerks not using xdg specs properly.

[DerRidda]

Leadwerks always defaults to Firefox when I'm opening the help (Default here is Chromium), I would assume it is hard coded and you are not using xdg-open? This should be a super easy fix.

(I'm not using Arch but their wiki is a useful tool for just about everything)

 

A less critical issue is Leadwerks defaulting to ~/Documents for project files but that folder is localized on systems using non-English locales. For example in German it is ~/Dokumente

 

Arch Wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdg_user_directories) tells us:

 

XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"

XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"

XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"

XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Public"

XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"

XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"

XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"

XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"

Thanks for the info.

It turns out all I actually had to do was change this code:

System("firefox "+url);

 

To this:

System("xdg-open "+url);

 

And it appears to work.
