About:blank#blocked

Just updated to 2024.2
Fixed some issues but one that i cant get arround is the about:blank#blocked error when opening files externaly.
My links are either
href=“hescript://UserMain.OpenAFile|$FilePath”
Or heexternal://$FilePath

with heexternal:// i get “Unable to execute the requested file”
And with hescript://UserMain.OpenAFile i get about:blank#blocked.

I havent tried this on another computer just yet, it worked great with exeout 2021, is there any setting i need to adjust?
Tried turning of websecurity, my own computers antivirus and windows security but no luck.

As i found in Custom scheme links with backslashes in Chrome 130 redirect to ‘about:blank#blocked’." [373928202] - Chromium

Seems to be an issue on current chromium.
Fix so long would be --disable-features=StandardCompliantNonSpecialSchemeURLParsing

But tried that in AdditionalChromiumArgs with no luck. Thoughts?
Do i need to remodel my exe to futureproof anyway?

Saw the post "Heexternal doesn’t work anymore

Witch i guess has the same problem.
Anyways the solution i have for now is running the exe throu cmd with
myexe.exe --disable-features=StandardCompliantNonSpecialSchemeURLParsing
Or creating a shortcut to the exe with the same prompt.

Would love another solution so i dont have to change all my code to open links with javascript witch i think would work but havent tried yet.

Not in position to try and see if this works, but maybe???

Yeah i thought that would work but i tried with no luck.
Atm i just use the older CEF engine witch isnt a bother really.
Maby for next version add it to disable/enable, but seems like it isnt a problem for most tho :slight_smile:

Well, thought it was worth a shot :slight_smile:

Know I have some software that had this issue and simply put it on the back burner. Can’t even remember the project name, lol.

Hopefully @gdgsupport will get this sorted out.
