<div dir="ltr">Another suggestion I would like to add...  I think it is also not such a good thing to use "sensible-browser" for urls. I think a much better solution would be to have urls other than "file://" have entries in default.list that can be used to indicate how to handle each kind of url, in the form of "url/*". Also, this could allow for specific applications for any kind of url possible url/http url/https url/ftp url/smb url/ssh url/irc url/ed2k .... etc This will cover any use case, and it could even be used to define a new generic way to use a default Terminal application... url/term This way.. any default handler can be defined in a generic independent way, using always  default.list. </div>
