properlypurple / braus Goto Github PK

When opening links from Thunderbird or Slack, braus starts and then I click on one of the browser icons.
The URL is opened in the browser, but the braus window stays open. I can click on the browser icons again, and the URL gets opened again in that browser.

I could not reproduce this bug when launching braus from the command line.

When an existing braus window is open, clicking a link uses the URL from that window.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a braus selector window: braus http://example.org/1-one and keep it open
2. Open a second braus selector window: braus http://example.org/2-two
3. The second window will have http://example.org/1-one as URL instead of ..1-one.

Braus starts and asks "Set Braus as your default browser". Then I click "Set as Default".

Upon the "Braus" start, it asks me again.

This happens on Ubuntu 18.04 with Gnome Shell 3.28.4.

Some possible settings

• use system theme
• reset preferences
• what more...

Thanks so much for this app! It is a perfect Linux version of Browserosaurus

Please add a option for hotkeys:

Default Braus browser = [space]
others can be set or are gauged from first char of their name.

Thank you!

Maybe having a vertical layout as an option will be nice, and good for mobile devices when #9 is being done.

This looks like an interesting project, thank you for creating it!

When trying to start braus I'm getting the following error message:

$ /opt/braus/bin/braus 

(braus:8418): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 16:19:38.781: Settings schema 'com.properlypurple.braus' is not installed
Trace/breakpoint trap

I'm running Debian 10 (Buster). I followed the instructions in the README, except that I pass --prefix=/opt/braus to meson instead of the default /usr prefix. I'm installing as user. I tried to install in both, a virtual env and the user environment (with the same result).

$ meson --version
0.57.1
$ ninja --version
1.10.0.git.kitware.jobserver-1

I'd like to see braus using the desktop theme instead of forcing dark colors.

If I wanted dark colors I'd set my desktop theme that way.

native:

current forced dark theme:

Should ideally work on X11, Wayland/GNOME and wlroots.

Braus only always opens a new browser window (no attach )but doesn't hit the url (when clicking links in Discord).

I am certain that is not really a Braus Issue but help in resolving this would be tremendously appreciated,

Running in Arch Linux 5.11

I found that happens with every electron based app so far.

Really wondering how I can fix that.

I love Braus anyway :-)

It's a nice and simple utility. A small and portable AppImage that works cross distro would do wonders. I was going to ask for other cross distro solution like flatpak but probably won't work due to the sandbox.

I have a private and a work profile in Firefox, but Braus only shows Firefox and Chromium.

I would like to be able to select the Firefox work and Firefox private profile.

So we can use this on things like the Librem phone

Create an icon for the app.

During development, how can I run braus directly from the src/ directory without installing it?

I need help to install in Linux mint 20.1

Given first line of meson.build is a call to i18, I guess I am missing this

Website says

Note: You need gtk, python3, and gobject installed. In most cases, you shouldn’t need to install anything if you’re on a gtk environment.

Not exactly true or informative to non python people. Would you mind updating readme and the website to reflect proper dependencies?

I'm running this on Manjaro having installed it via the AUR. There appears to be no way to assign certain URL's or domains to a browser This app is very basic and it pops up the browser selector each and every time and you have to select the browser you want for that URL each and every time.

Things like infobar, browser buttons, etc can be pulled out into modules

We should detect if running on wayland and if layer shell is supported,use that to show a proper overlay window.

[Title]

I installed braus by running snap install braus. However, running braus fails to launch the application.

$ braus
/snap/braus/9/snap/command-chain/desktop-launch: /snap/braus/9/usr/bin/braus: /snap/gnome-3-38-2004-sdk/current/usr/bin/python3: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
/snap/braus/9/snap/command-chain/desktop-launch: line 582: /snap/braus/9/usr/bin/braus: Success

The braus command gives the above output and exits.

The URL field should be focused when no URL is given on the CLI.

Also, the URL field's contents must be used when clicking a browser button after changing the URL.
