           Summary: browse() fails if Safari is renamed or moved.
           Product: D
           Version: 2.026
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P4
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: unknown simplemachines.org


For categorization purposes, users on Macs may rename or move Safari.app from
/Applications - it can even be uninstalled, if the user prefers another
browser.

For example, I have multiple versions of Safari (and other browsers) on my test
Mac, in /Applications/Browsers.

The open command doesn't require an application argument.  Also, the argument
need not be a full path, it can be just a name (such as "Safari", rather than
"/path/to/Bundle.app".)

My suggestion would be to simply pass the path to open directly, and let it use
the user's prefered browser.  This seems to be the behavior on Windows and
Linux.

Omit the optional application argument to open.

This patch does what I suggest.  An alternative would be to use "Safari", which
would work even if they moved the app somewhere else, but not if they renamed
it (OS X keeps a cached lookup of bundle ids and names.)

Omit the optional application argument to open (corrected.)

Arg, sorry, I need to set this up properly to make patches everywhere.

It now uses either "BROWSER" environment variable or "x-www-browser". I think
this is fixed now (I can't test though).
