Current Behavior

After installing Spotube, opening any Spotify link (in a browser for example) will attempt to open the said link in the app that supports it. But when Spotify and Spotube are installed at the same time, Spotube will override this behavior.
As far as I can tell, it overrides the value of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\spotify\shell\open\command to be "D:\EDM115\Programmes\Spotube\spotube.exe" "%1" (default value).

Expected Behavior

Having Spotube overriding this is okay, but we should have either the choice in the settings to change that, or at least in the installer when Spotify is also present.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Spotube and Spotify
  2. Open a Spotify link in a browser (ex : https://goo.gl/B3AWV5)
  3. Note that it proposes to open in Spotube and not Spotify

oh and for anyone wanting to set it back to Spotify :

  • Open regedit
  • Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\spotify\shell\open\command
  • Change the default value to "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Spotify.exe" --protocol-uri="%1"

Maybe add an option in settings "Open Spotify Links in spotube" - cuz i personally like it that the links open in spotube
