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. M +3 -1 filedigger/main.cpp https://invent.kde.org/system/kup/commit/6b8e770584f6f6674f17a41b3424191e47e73dbc
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).
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?
Ah, if you are using an older version then yes, a path argument is required. So, you can give an absolute path instead there.
