R devel - Feb 2008 - Use xdg-open ?

Hi,

are there any plas to implement xdg-open feature along with old
"hardcode" style ?

Not all people likes to use xpdf or firefox, switching to xdg-open
would be a great enchancement.

Cheers.

It has been discussed, but there are other styles too.  E.g. the switcher 
in F8 is not using xdg-open to choose a browser/html viewer.

So it will be added as a choice, but probably not above firefox in the 
priority order.
