Description Lukas Polacek 2024-02-02 10:03:09 UTC

SUMMARY
xdg-open does not open any application.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use xdg-open, e.g. `xdg-open document.pdf`

OBSERVED RESULT
It silently exits without opening the associated application (in this case okular). Opening html files, images, videos, etc., results in the same behavior.
The returned exit code is 0.

EXPECTED RESULT
The associated application (e.g. okular) should open.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.93.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.249.0
Qt Version: 6.6.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Lukas Polacek 2024-02-02 10:10:59 UTC

It has been fixed in new xdg-open, upgrading xdg-utils to 1.2.0 fixed this.
Relevant line of code: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/tree/scripts/xdg-open.in#n157
