Change location of ~/bin/termux-url-opener

[kutsan]

It's just a simple request. I'd like to change the location of ~/bin/termux-url-opener script. And even maybe its name too.

I would have expected it in .termux/url-opener for consistency with Termux:boot or termux:tasker

Isn't a symlink enough for this? Termux automatically follows symlinks when checking if file exists, due to isFile(). Unless you don't want to add the bin directory, in which case I guess could be added in Termux Settings.

mkdir -p ~/bin
ln -sf ~/url.sh ~/bin/termux-url-opener
echo '#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash
echo "$*"
sleep 5' > ~/url.sh
chmod +x ~/url.sh

I think all config files about Termux should live inside ~/.termux directory (although I prefer ~/.config/termux as for the XDG directory spec). So, symlinking works and that's what I've been using this whole time but making a certain directory default would be better.

I would agree with this but can't change the default now. It would break existing setups and then we will get "spammed" with issues for weeks, months.

Adding path in termux.properties would be even better, since it would automatically be backed up with tar backups.

You don't need to drop support for old directories, you can still change the default and encourage people to use the new default but still support the old directories like you used to do.

A multi if conditional would be required anyways for custom path, so old and new default can be added too.
