Ipfs-desktop: "Merkle Forest" link in Overview page changes the window content to Youtube

Created on 22 Dec 2018  路  4Comments  路  Source: ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-desktop

Description
Open IPFS Desktop. Click on the "arrow" icon in top right corner, you are shown a "overview" page. You see a text "Connected to IPFS" and in a paragraph under this title you see text "Now, it's time to explore your node..."

There is a link "Merkle Forest" - a link to Youtube. The problem is that this link is opened directly in app window instead of opening Youtube in browser / separate window.

You have to restart the app to get back to main app window.

Expected behaviour
Youtube is opened in default browser or separate window.

Actual behaviour
Youtube is opened directly in IPFS Desktop window.

OS: MacOS 10.14 Mojave
IPFS Desktop: 0.6.0, rev. fc83688

Thanks @svitekpavel! It will be fixed by #769

I just installed the 0.6.0 pre-release, and all my preview gateway links still open up inside the IPFS Desktop application instead of opening instead my browser. I'm running on Windows 10. The merkel forest link also does the exact same thing.

@hacdias Ahh okay, no worries then. I think I'll install from source and try to find any bugs I can.
