Hi Nathan Y. and Nathan K,

I can confirm that the database was filled manually and did not use the
chooser. I'll change the urls in the database of the app to the correct
url scheme.

Thanks for the quick response and rewrite solution!

All the best from a very rainy Netherlands,

grtz
BjornW

met vriendelijke groet,
Bjorn Wijers
