Evince is using g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri(), which can use the portal interface: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/-/blob/main/shell/ev- window.c#L6775-6778 However, it only does this as a fallback if no desktop file supports the URI. This is intended to allow a confined app to handle some file types within the sandbox before falling back to portals for everything else. In the case of Evince running on the host system and seeing all the desktop files in /usr/share/applications and other locations, it likely won't ever call the portal API. It'd be possible to code in explicit portal API calls, but it isn't something that Evince packaged as a flatpak or snap would need. So it might end up as a distro patch we'd be on the hook to maintain forever. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1794064 Title: Clicking a hyperlink in a PDF fails to open it if the default browser is a snap Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in evince package in Debian: New Bug description: This is related to bug #1792648. After fixing that one (see discussion at https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/evince/merge_requests/1), clicking a hyperlink in a PDF opens it correctly if the default browser is a well-known application (such as /usr/bin/firefox), but it fails to do so if the default browser is a snap (e.g. the chromium snap). This is not a recent regression, it's not working on bionic either.
