That's what I expected as well. Setting my preferred Web Browser in the "General" tab should affect anything that uses a web browser *unless* I have chosen a different browser specific to a project. That's the way I thought it worked; it's certainly how I would want it to work... For me it seems to be rather an enhancement than defect. Browser settings in project's customizer are working as expected (there may be some problem on OS X which I can't test/verify since I don't have a Mac, but on other systems there aren't any issues). You can choose whether project should run in system default browser or specify a custom browser for particular project. To use one default browser for all projects we would need one more option in the browser combobox in project's customizer (For example "IDE Default Browser"). This would use setting from Options. Adding "IDE Default Browser" makes sense. If you make that the default setting for projects and have the default IDE browser being the system browser, new projects would almost work the same. +1 for adding "IDE Default Browser", even better if that were the default option for newly created projects. |
