"dragon myvideo.mp4" used to work in KDE 4.14. Now, with 15.08 I need to use "dragon file://`pwd`/myvideo.mp4" it seems - allowing the shortcut of a filename would be very very useful. This seems like a regression in functionality to me. I generally run dragon from the command line, not from dolphin.
Confirmed testing with dragon-15.12.1, when executing: $ dragon foo.avi the text in the lower/left of the window displays: http://foo.avi
Interesting, looks like this got fixed in 15.08 branch (included in 15.08.3 release): https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=dragon.git&a=commit&h=3709ea57268e0bd1545ccfa03771b1f1759347fa and master, https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=dragon.git&a=commit&h=3709ea57268e0bd1545ccfa03771b1f1759347fa but the commit never landed in 15.12 branch. Harold, how would you prefer this be handled? merge master or cherry-pick the commit?
Whoopsie, guess I didn't check for the new branch properly. > Harold, how would you prefer this be handled? merge master or cherry-pick the commit? Cherry-pick and forward merge, if you would be so kind, otherwise I'm going to on Monday :)
Git commit ee333a83457450df771b458c299dce43a5500a35 by Rex Dieter, on behalf of Harald Sitter. Committed on 30/01/2016 at 15:08. Pushed by rdieter into branch 'Applications/15.12'. when parsing user input urls, default to assume local files The invocation > dragon foo.mkv should yield file://$PWD/foo.mkv. Processed as a URL foo.mkv can either be a relative path or a FQDN though. Since we don't support scheme-less url notiation for this use case and people are far more likely to use the invocation argument for local files we can safely coerce QUrl to default to assume file:// rather than http:// > dragon foo.mkv => file://$PWD/foo.mkv > dragon http://foo.mkv => http://foo.mkv M +5 -1 src/app/main.cpp http://commits.kde.org/dragon/ee333a83457450df771b458c299dce43a5500a35
done, thanks.
