Problem is that now I'm in the Windows Github client - and the "Open in desktop" button throws out a url that starts with "github-mac://openRepo/https://github.com/" <br /><br />So I clicked "open in new tab" on the button to capture the url, replaced "mac" with "windows" and it works. <br />Quirky.<br />Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191811358452837500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922440028126506489.post-18347991281526136172017-03-30T11:58:32.025-04:002017-03-30T11:58:32.025-04:00Thanks, came to this about 4 times over the last 2...Thanks, came to this about 4 times over the last 2 years but just ended up downloading the zip instead as couldnt be arsed working it out.

The useless button makes me think it sucks even more. There was no drag to here prompt in the desktop client Chocolate-Covered Yaks (3.3.2.0) 570bd2e, but when I dragged the icon a message appeared, by which stage it was too late because I'd already done what the message was prompting me to do.SquatneyRebelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04286874526178995423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922440028126506489.post-80667507209163157522016-08-13T23:54:00.474-04:002016-08-13T23:54:00.474-04:00Thanks Joe - I echo the comments above.

Chrome normally opens up a window asking if you want to always launch the app or not, now it doesn't for GitHub, and GitHub for Windows has a very unintuitive interface for adding repos, which I've already discussed with them. Really, make it as easy as possible for the user to get as much done as possible, and they will love you, otherwise you're wasting everyone's time and they won't want to use your products any more than they have to.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119132095364195260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922440028126506489.post-16728334915306624232015-10-11T16:36:07.548-04:002015-10-11T16:36:07.548-04:00Thanks for that!
