Created attachment 154276 [details] crash_notification It is strange that terminal application don't accept arguments: qmlkonsole --help qmlkonsole: Unknown option 'help'. This makes impossible to call a TUI application in a new window. Konsole had something like this for ages: konsole -e "bash -c 'echo hi;read'" It is not possible to call the app from Index's context menu on a selected file either. This is important for editing files which require admin privileges. When an app like Micro(TUI editor) is installed it will be shown in application menu. Launching such app will fail, with app tried to launch + attached notification. To my knowledge, this seems to address more than one bug though! I can open another report if necessary.
This commit should add command flag support: https://invent.kde.org/plasma-mobile/qmlkonsole/-/commit/66d78612448865c6199f8ebdf0fb74ffdf820224
(In reply to Devin Lin from comment #1) As far as I can tell this resolves command flag support, just tested it on Manjaro developer edition and it worked flawlessly. Furthermore, after altering Micro's .desktop file with Exec=qmlkonsole "micro %F" and Terminal=false, I have managed to open multiple selected files from Index in a new terminal without any issue. I guess the only remaining problem is the one with Konsole being the default terminal app. Anyway, as this resolves several issues for me, I just wanna seize the opportunity to express my gratitude for fixing this! Thanks
No problem!
On some further testing, it appears that parsing is different from the one Konsole has, considering empty spaces within filename. On Micro's .desktop file this works for Konsole: Exec=konsole -e micro %F but I couldn't find a proper solution for qmlkonsole. So, before-mentioned running from Index won't work as stated.

(In reply to Devin Lin from comment #5) To be fair, on desktop I've tried Konsole with Dolphin > "open with Micro", so there is a chance there is an issue with Index itself ?!? QMLKonsole handles files with spaces correctly: qmlkonsole -e micro "first file" "second file" This .desktop files parsing have been a mystery for me for a long time. I need to try some more options

The viable command is: Exec=konsole -e micro %F Terminal=false I've tested this on computer with Dolphin and Index and it works for filenames with space and newline characters as well. As for qmlkonsole it works on cli with any whitespace named files. As for .desktop files, this works if filename have no whitespace: Exec=qmlkonsole -e "micro %F" Terminal=false if file have space in filename it will open two nonexistent files if file have newline in filename it will open nonexistent file and append text to it after newline from filename. I have also tried altering the above exec command assigning positional parameters and env variables with no success.
We should consider if this should be closed and I could open different reports. QMLKonsole can successfully handle arguments when called from command line. The problem remains with .desktop files for TUI apps like micro: Exec=micro %F Terminal=true The error notification on the attachment remains. FYI: I tested on TW DESKTOP Plasma 6.0.3. qmlkonsole 24.02.1. Setting QMLKonsole as a default terminal app(which we are able to now), followed by restart, doesn't provide error described on attachment. Although, trying to open file with micro, when launched from "open with" context menu of Dolphin, would just open empty "No name" file. BASH's history will show the last command run is /usr/bin/micro, which clearly indicate that %F was neglected. FWIW konsole has a requirement for arguments after -e flag. They need to be last on the command line.
