However, since the category parameter is set to WebBrowser in this case, file:// URIs which where recognized by gtk_show_uri() as local files and handled by MIME-associated apps such as image browsers or text editors are now always opened in the exo preferred web browser (Firefox). This make advanced operations such as directly starting a slideshow or editing a source file much less direct than before from a terminal widget and requires the user to manually copy/paste the URI to the appropriate tool. Could a fallback to the old method using gtk_show_uri() be implemented for these URIs, since the exo alternative doesn't appear to provide a "use MIME-associated application instead" category?
