How to set browser?
Firefox is convinced it's the default browser on my machine (which is running Ubuntu 13.10/LXDE) and Preferred Applications agrees, but when I do a Find in Reference or run a JS-mode sketch, Processing insists on opening Chrome instead (which says it can't tell what the default browser is).
I can't seem to find a setting for this within Processing, or any reference to one, but I'm obviously missing something. Does anyone know what?
Answers
Go to internet settings in control panel and change. Or go to chrome, tools, internet options, then select the set as default browser or something similar. Hope it helps.
do you have xdg-open? try running xdg-open on an html file and see what it does.
processing version?
i'm on 1.5.1 and have a ~/.processing/preferences.txt file which mentions xdg-open as the linux.launcher. i think later versions move this preferences file. either way, the default seems to be to use xdg-open. this should use the system default browser.
If you can't tame "xdg-open", simply choose another 1 as
launcher=within "preferences.txt"!Warning: changing
launcher=xdg-opento something else will make Processing open everything w/ that specified program! :-&launcher=firefoxworks for me! Thanks a lot. xdg-open does seem to open things in Firefox, so I don't know why Processing wasn't respecting that. Oh well!Yeah, glad I could help.
