"Open Pick an app?" dialog should explain itself more clearly |
||
Issue descriptionChrome Version: 62, 63 OS: Windows 10 The "Open [x]?" dialog for externally-opened protocols looks a bit silly when it refers to Windows' built-in app picker. Example: https://jsfiddle.net/pncevkrb/ The dialog title is "Open Pick an app?", and the confirmation button reads "Open Pick an app". That just looks silly. The dialog should say something more like "Choose an application?". Note that the Windows app picker is not actually titled "Pick an app" in any visible way.

Yeah, this is a pretty brutal case. There's some discussion from https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=601725#c55. We ended up decided that hiding our dialog if we knew Windows would show its picker was ideal, but the only way to detect if Windows is launching a picker is a hard-coded check, which is less ideal.

#2 Does this mean that our hard-coded check is failing in some edge case?

c#3: we haven't implemented anything for this case yet for want of a more satisfying solution than a hard-coded check. Sorry that wasn't clear.
