Hi! In the Codex desktop app on macOS, the Open button lists some editors (e.g., VS Code), but JetBrains WebStorm is missing when it’s installed in ~/Applications (common JetBrains Toolbox location).
What happened
- WebStorm doesn’t appear in the Open app list.
What I expected
- WebStorm should appear in the list even when installed in
~/Applications(or Codex should allow choosing it once and then remember).
Workaround
- Move/install WebStorm into
/Applications— then it may show up.
Suggestion / possible fix
- On macOS, include
~/Applicationsin editor discovery, and/or use LaunchServices to enumerate installed apps/handlers (so Toolbox-managed JetBrains IDEs are discoverable without requiring/Applications).
Environment
- Codex desktop app version: [fill in]
- macOS version: [fill in]
- WebStorm version: [fill in]
- WebStorm install path:
~/Applications/WebStorm.app
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Install WebStorm using JetBrains Toolbox (or otherwise) into
~/Applications/WebStorm.app. - Open Codex desktop app.
- Click Open (to open the current workspace/project in an editor).
- Observe that WebStorm is not listed.
What is the expected behavior?
- WebStorm should appear in the list even when installed in
~/Applications(or Codex should allow choosing it once and then remember).
