           Summary: browse() fails if Safari is renamed or moved.
           Product: D
           Version: 2.026
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P4
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: unknown at simplemachines.org


For categorization purposes, users on Macs may rename or move Safari.app from
/Applications - it can even be uninstalled, if the user prefers another
browser.

For example, I have multiple versions of Safari (and other browsers) on my test
Mac, in /Applications/Browsers.

The open command doesn't require an application argument.  Also, the argument
need not be a full path, it can be just a name (such as "Safari", rather than
"/path/to/Bundle.app".)

My suggestion would be to simply pass the path to open directly, and let it use
the user's prefered browser.  This seems to be the behavior on Windows and
Linux.
