Opening kotlin files

[Jeff Yoshimi]

Hi there. Amazing program. When I command-click on kotlin .kt files, it interprets this as a web page, I think because of the Kenya country extension. But the strings are clearly not URLs. Is this a bug? And either way, is there a workaround? Thanks!

URL-like strings are checked for after the test for “does this file exist” which suggests the inferred directory was incorrect. You can confirm this for sure by cmd-clicking on an absolute path.

For example, clicking the output of ls tmp|fgrep .kt will treat file.kt as a URL since it looked for /file.kt, while the second one will open it since it looked for /tmp/file.kt.

If you can’t tell why the directory is inferred incorrectly, well, it can be complicated. Generally installing shell integration makes everything just work. If you can send me a debug log that includes everything from cding into the directory, listing the file, and clicking on it and opening a URL I’d be happy to look at it and see what went wrong.

I appreciate the detailed reply.  You are right, it works just fine when the absolute path is available.  The issue arises when using cursor from the command line, which does not always show the whole path.  So I think I have a handle now on what's going on and why. Again, thanks
