Description Bernie Innocenti 2020-06-29 09:21:15 UTC

SUMMARY

Looks like we have a shell escaping issue somewhere (dolphin / plasmashell / frameworks-krunner...)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download any AppImage file to the Desktopp (example: https://www.x-plane.com/desktop/try-it/)
2. Make sure the filename contains a space
3. Double-click on the icon on the desktop

OBSERVED RESULT
 - Desktop folder view: nothing happens
 - Dolphin: asks if the file should be executed, then silently fails

The plasmashell log shows:

  /bin/sh: /home/bernie/Desktop/X-Plane: No such file or directory

Furthermore, Dolphin asks if the file should be executed, but the desktop does not.
This inconsistency is a separate bug.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should execute the app *OR* report an error

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: built from git
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71
Qt Version: 5.15.0

OpenUrlJob: fix support for shell scripts with a space in the filename

When executing a shell script or an executable in dolphin in a folder with a blank
e.g. "/my test/test.sh" the path was truncated to "/my" and the command was not executed.

Document the API trap.

Thanks for the fast fix!

I'll file a separate bug for this part:

 Furthermore, Dolphin asks if the file should be executed, but the desktop does not.
