Freetube error message

When I launch FreeTube AppImage I get this error.

If I click on OK the program launches and runs normally, but it is a very annoying message to see every time I start the application.

Can I fix this?

I’m using PCLinuxOS with XFCE 4.16 and freetube_0.14.0_amd64.AppImage

Re: Freetube error message

If you look at the xdg-settings script file (/usr/bin/xdg-settings) you will see this code:

# {{{ xfce

get_url_scheme_handler_xfce()
{
    exit_unimplemented_default_handler "$1"
}

check_url_scheme_handler_xfce()
{
    exit_unimplemented_default_handler "$1"
}

set_url_scheme_handler_xfce()
{
    exit_unimplemented_default_handler "$1"
}

# }}} xfce

xdg-settings states that xfce does not support url_scheme_handler and it displays that messaage:

exit_unimplemented_default_handler()
{
    exit_failure_operation_impossible "default-url-scheme-handler not implemented for $DE"
}

I tried to research why xdg says/does this, but could not find the reason. As a test, I replaced the xfce content with the gnome3 *_url_scheme_handler functions in xdg-settings and it worked fine.

Not sure where you can take this. Perhaps file a bug with xdg-utils?
