STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use kup-filedigger in a kup backup
2. Select "open" on a folder

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin opens and gets the error "No bup repository found. bup:///kup/<date time>/<backuped up folder>".

The backuped folder to be openned.

Better handling of relative path argument to filedigger

If you gave a relative path to bup repo as command line argument for
kup-filedigger then it would work OK until you tried to open a file or
folder with external program. Solve problem by making sure repo path is
absolute, first thing.

Comment 2 Simon Persson 2020-08-23 12:47:30 UTC 
Thank you for reporting! Took a bit of trying to reproduce but I did figure out that giving a relative path as command line argument would cause what you reported. Easiest work-around for now would be for users to open kup-filedigger either from sys tray applet or from command line without any path argument (gives you a folder selector).
Comment 3 Condor 2020-08-23 12:53:08 UTC 
Sorry about the lack of info for reproducing, there wasnt a lot i could say sadly.
How do i open filedigger without a path argument? if this is attempted it says that a path argument is required.
Do i not have something installed?
Comment 4 Simon Persson 2020-08-23 14:23:02 UTC 
Ah, if you are using an older version then yes, a path argument is required. So, you can give an absolute path instead there.
