Description Anshul Jain 2008-08-13 11:33:02 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I'm trying to open a .vi (Labview) file with Dolphin (or even Konqueror). I can open it fine by passing the paths through the command line, e.g:

anshul@sagarika:~> ls
ate         freetype2-2.3.7-999.subpixel.1.i586.rpm                           public_html
ate.tar.gz  freetype2-feature-subpixel-hinting-2.3.7-999.subpixel.1.i586.rpm  Test Selector.vi
bin         internet                                                          Working Folder
Desktop     LabVIEW Data                                                      Working_Folder
Documents   Labview Presentation.odp

anshul@sagarika:~> labview Test\ Selector.vi

However, if I try to double click and open the same under Dolphin or Konqueror, the Labview application starts and reports an error saying that /home/anshul/Test is not a valid Labview file.

It seems that while opening under Dolphin it dosen't pass the rest of the data after a space, i.e. Test Selector.vi has a space between Test and Selector. 

On KDE3 this has been working fine.

Can you still reproduce this bug with a recent KDE version? (4.1.3 / 4.2beta1 / 4.2beta2 / 4.2svn) ? Thanks :)

Hi,
Apologies for the late reply...I'm still suffering from this bug under Mandriva 2009.0 w/ 4.2.0 RPMs. However, I'm able to get past this issue by performing the following change :-

Existing:-
[root@sagarika anshul]# cat /usr/local/natinst/LabVIEW-8.6/etc/desktop/apps/
labview.applications       natinst-labview86.desktop
[root@sagarika anshul]# cat /usr/local/natinst/LabVIEW-8.6/etc/desktop/apps/labview.applications
labview
        command=/bin/sh -c "`cat /etc/natinst/labview/labview.dir`/labview \$0 \$*" -launch
        name=LabVIEW
        can_open_multiple_files=true
        expects_uris=false
        requires_terminal=false
        mime_types=application/x-labview-*

[root@sagarika anshul]# cat /usr/local/natinst/LabVIEW-8.6/etc/desktop/apps/labview.applications

Changed the "command line" to:-

command=labview

The original command line seemed to be a little complex. Had you tried opening .vi files under Gnome or another desktop. May be it was the launcher file fault.
