Grayjay Desktop App

Post by eZwa_306 » Fri, Dec 27, 2024, 5:29 PM UTC

I've unzipped Grayjay for Windows into a folder and is ready for use, and am trying to set up the "grayjay://" URI so that it opens Grayjay when a link is clicked on.

Namely, trying to add plugins to my Grayjay install via https://plugins.grayjay.app/, but my browser doesn't know how to handle links that have the "grayjay://" URI as a prefix.

Any help with this is welcomed. I'm also hoping that future releases will either be distributed as an executable installer that automagically takes care of this, or with a patch that can be applied to allow for true "OOTB" functionality without having to tweak/meddle with Windows settings/registry.

EDIT 1: Running Win 10

EDIT 2: Found a way within Grayjay to install plugins, but would like to still have this URI set up for future use.

Launching the Linux release and noticed in the logs: Directories:User Directory: /home/bisby/Grayjay And there is a directory there now. I absolutely hate having stuff automatically create anything in my home directory like this. Ideally, this should be following XDG directory guidelines on linux: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/

You'd be interested in xdg-ninja: https://github.com/b3nj5m1n/xdg-ninja Like others said, fighting the clean HOME fight is just draining and futile in the end. This script helps you identify low hanging fruit, though, where you can change their storage location with a simple envvar.

I have my home directory mounted via NFS, which has worked marvellously since gigabit ethernet became cheap 20 years ago but lazy/ignorant developers are making it less pleasant every year.
