Description (last modified by )
Trying to run JOSM with wikipedia:Geo_URI_scheme like:
$ josm geo:60,17
Shows a dialog at startup with a message
"File not found 'geo:60,17'"
I think this is intended to work, as the .desktop file has x-scheme-handler/geo listed.
Thanks!

With r15180 it works with josm --download=geo:60,17 which is the supposed way to work.
I guess it won't work with your use case described in #17824 (%U in .desktop file).
Does it work if we write josm --download %U in the .dekstop file? If we do, what happens if josm is run without argument? Is there a better way?

Replying to Don-vip:
With r15180 it works with
josm --download=geo:60,17which is the supposed way to work.

Does it work if we write
josm --download %Uin the .dekstop file? If we do, what happens if josm is run without argument? Is there a better way?
It works with just %U now!
And it almost works with gnome-maps now, except that we generate a geo: URL of the form:
geo:60.00000,17.000000;crs=wgs84;u=0
This format is according to the spec, but JOSM seems to stuble on it.
Running this from the command line works (without the extra params):
$ josm geo:60.00000,17.00000
I'm almost tempted to just drop the extra parameters for the URLs we pass to apps, I guess WGS84 is the default reference system.
But on the other hand, I guess the correct thing to do would be to fix the parser in JOSM :-)

You're welcome :) I didn't understand, do you work for a Linux distribution?

I'm the maintainer of GNOME Maps (the map app included with the GNOME desktop). I tend to write some stuff related to news on that, and to some extent OSM on my blog: https://ml4711.blogspot.se
This is also agregated on Planet GNOME: https://planet.gnome.org
You're right, it is supposed to work, Geo URI have been implemented in #13201
