Re: Reset which application opens links in zim

 

Mzata,

Link that look like "./foo/bar.txt" are _not_ internal links, they are file
links. So opening with a text editor is the correct behavior, it can not be
changed.

Links to other pages in zim should look like "foo:bar" (or indeed "+bar"
for child pages). If you make your links like that, they will work
correctly in zim.

Regards,

Jaap
