Cannot open browser on Windows about plot HOT 5 CLOSED

Well that's interesting. The file plot/browser.lisp contains the browser commands. There we test for win32 on *features* to set the correct browser path. What we need is a way to distinguish Windows 11 from earlier versions. I'll have to dig around to find out the best way to do that.

In the meantime you can change the path in browser.lisp. The line is:

(defparameter *browser-commands*
  (list (cons :chrome #+win32 "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe"
...

Change that path to wherever Chrome is.

I'll leave this issue open and move it to the plot project to remind me to find a long-term fix for this. I may just have to test both locations with probe-file.

Thanks. (setf (nth 0 plot:*browser-commands*) (cons :chrome #+win32 "C:\\Program Files\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe")) works.

FYI, you can add that line to your ls-init.lisp initialisation file for a fix that will happen every time you load Lisp-Stat.

For others who might want to use the init file to fix this, please note you have to load the plot package first, ie. (asdf:load-system :plot/vglt)
