To avoid that can you please check into settings->external tools and change the gimp entry from "gimp-remote -n %F" to "gimp-remote %F" and let us know if it's ok? TIA Angelo I am the original submitter of this bug and tried the above suggestion. It does not solve this (minor) bug. This bug occurs if the program gimp-remote cannot be found (to reproduce: move this file away from /usr/bin). The error message is then incomplete as described above. I found a workaround by adding quotes: in settings->external tools change in the The Gimp entry the Name: The GIMP into Name: "The GIMP". Now the error message says :"Could not find the program 'The GIMP'", which is correct. So the solution would be that either gwenview should put quotes around the string "The GIMP" when it is sent to the error dialog, or the error dialog should display the full name, even if it contains a space. (I am not familiar with the technical details of how these applications work or should work.) hmm, my workaround seems to work here (another machine) as well. Can you please launch gwenview from a console and run extern tools -> The gimp. After that read the lines under gwenview and paste them here. For instance: [angelo@gandalf ~]$ gwenview QInputContext: cannot create input context for non-toplevel widgets QInputContext: cannot create input context for non-toplevel widgets /bin/sh: gimp-remote-2.2: command not found QInputContext: cannot create input context for non-toplevel widgets QInputContext: cannot create input context for non-toplevel widgets Opzione -n sconoscuta QInputContext: cannot create input context for non-toplevel widgets QInputContext: cannot create input context for non-toplevel widgets This is a development version of GIMP. Debug messages may appear here. jpeg-load: found EXIF block (9719 bytes) The first error showed me i had a wrong command set, after changing it to gimp-remote I found wrong option "-n". The dialog showed always "Could not find the program 'The'". And finally (third one) showed it worked Gwenview has changed a lot in KDE4. There is no "External Tools" now. |
