Using "Restart Binary Ninja" causes xdg-open to not know about the process #5756

Version and Platform (required):

  • Binary Ninja Version: 4.1.5746
  • OS: Ubuntu
  • OS Version: 24.04
  • CPU Architecture: x64

Bug Description:
I can use xdg-open to open files in my current Binary Ninja, but if I use the Restart Binary Ninja menu action, it no longer works and spawns a new Binary Ninja instead of using the running one.

Steps To Reproduce:

  1. Open binja
  2. Open a terminal
  3. In the terminal, xdg-open "binaryninja:/bin/ls"
  4. See it opens properly in binja
  5. In binja, use Restart Binary Ninja
  6. Back to the terminal, run that command again
  7. Observe it didn't use the running binja and has spawned a second one

Expected Behavior:
I expected the url handler to always find the running copy of binja
