  Unfortunately browsers don't have permission to launch external apps that way. You should be able to use other workflows though, such as copy-pasting the image, or saving it to a project folder.

  Running in the background is usually wasteful and will unnecessarily consume system resources and drain batteries. If you want to do something like issue a reward to the player based on how long it's been since they last played, you can do that by measuring the time the game was in the background for in 'On suspended' and 'On resumed', and that's far more efficient than wasting resources for hours/days.

  Swipe in from the side of the screen to access side bars. Swipe in repeatedly to cycle through other bars. This is how you reach both the Layers Bar and the color palette in the Animations Editor.

  I would advise to just use the default letterbox scaling for the time being.

  It's an easy question to answer because if you try removing the "" and click 'Done', Construct will show an error as it's an invalid expression.

  Construct should disable selection of the main game canvas. If it's still selectable, please file an issue following all the guidelines.

  The build server will have no impact on the runtime performance.

  People constantly replied to years-old threads thinking they had the same problem, but it was completely unrelated; or asking if the thread was still relevant, when it was years out of date; etc. etc. So threads are auto-locked after one year.

  Is the issue with NW.js? The originally filed issue looks pretty old and specific to NW.js, so if you're still using NW.js, my advice would be to just use the browser.

  If there's a problem with using the browser, as ever, please file an issue following all the guidelines, as we need all that information to be able to help.

  I'm not clear why you need to do that. Why aren't you using a fixed resolution? With the default letterbox scale everything should just work.

  The latest version of C3 has completely removed the legacy C2 runtime following C2's retirement. So if you use the latest version, the option should always be there.

  Use the Browser object's 'Go to URL' action.
