6.0 - Can't open files using a system application

[WanWizard]

For a lot of file extension I've defined external applications.

I just installed 6.0 (x64 on Linux), and I noticed that all these definitions don't work anymore.

Geany reports:
19:20:55: New file "/home/wanwizard/file:/data/www/virtual/test/themes/newtheme/assets/css/orange.css" opened.

Obviously, the "/home/wanwizard/file:" bit shouldn't be there...

FYI: I just tried gedit instead of geany, and that seems to work fine.

Some more info:

If I assign geany as the default handler for .php files in nautilus, and then tell syncro to use the 'system default application', it also works.

It just doesn't work when I type "/usr/bin/geany" as system application, which is my config ever since I've started using syncro.

Now back to 5.1 for the moment...

Thanks.

I have reinstalled v6, and now notice that it doesn't add my home directory to the filename anymore. Don't know why.

In the meantime, for people running into this issue:, I've created a geany.sh script:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
file=$1
# strip the first 5 characters of the filename
/usr/bin/geany ${file:5}

to strip the 'file:' prefix from the filename passed. I can now use v6 again!

Hi,

The problem was generated by the fact that we switched from sending a local file path to sending a URL with file:// protocol to the user specified application for a specific file extension. Geany seems not to support URLs with file:// protocol, but only local file paths so it takes the given URL and treats it like a relative file path to its working directory, that's why it adds the /home/wanwizard/ prefix in front of the given file:// URL.

We fixed this issue (by sending again local file paths for Linux) and it will be included in the next build of Syncro SVN Client 6.0.

Hi,

The new build of Syncro SVN Client 6.0 was uploaded on our site at the beginning of this week. Just go to our download page and you will find it there. The original build number was 2010072316 and the new build number is 2010081009.

Also, you can use the Help -> Check for New Version option of your already installed application to see if there is a new version available (it should tell you that it is).
