Description atoms 2006-10-23 00:14:39 UTC
Version:           3.4 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

If I set my browser specifically to firefox and then right click on a track in the playlist, then click the blue folder at the bottom of that screen to go to the directory with the file in it, it tries to open that directory in firefox which does not work.  I am actually using Gnome for work reasons for the time being, so having it open with Nautilus would be great, but otherwise perhaps Konqueror could be hard coded to that particular button?

How about opening that directory in Amarok's built-in file browser, making this the active tab and showing that?
Comment 2 atoms 2006-10-23 06:27:12 UTC
Just re-read my previous comment, realised a bit of it was hard to follow, but I think you got the idea sorry!  That would be great provided when you were finished editing it went back to the playlist folder. ;}

Thanks,

Martin's suggestion works, but sometimes its handy to have a real (native) file manager, for moving things to the trash and what-not. On my desktop, I have amarok and kde and this button (the folder icon in the "Edit Track Information..." dialog) opens konqueror, as it should. On my laptop using gnome, I have the kdelibraries, but not the full environment (no konqueror, no kwin, etc..) and this button opens firefox, presumably because it cannot find konqueror. Is there some window-manager-independent method to say to the OS "open a file manager window here" ?  If so, using that instead of a web browser would be great. Otherwise, its probably too much trouble.

Closing as outdated.
Amarok 1.4.x is no longer actively maintained as all the focus is on Amarok 2.0. Feel free to report any bug you should come across in Amarok 2.0
Comment 5 atoms 2008-08-11 09:54:34 UTC
Sorry but closing this is a real copout, that is unless this problem is fixed in version 2?  If not, then it should remain open and fixed in that.  I do not have Amarok 2 as it is considered too unstable to be in my distribution (OpenSuse 11.0).  I don't mean to be rude, but re-opening until a real explanation can be provided.
Comment 6 Myriam Schweingruber 2008-08-11 12:17:04 UTC
Sorry, didn't actually understand that report. As Konqueror was also the default file manager, there must be a wrong code that calls a browser instead of a file manager. Moving it to SVN.

If you are talking about going to the directory from the edit track details dialog, then I fixed this bug a few weeks back.  If you are getting at it from some other way, please reopen with a more detailed description of how to reproduce.
