I'm having trouble getting GWorkspace to work properly. I am using MinGW and
GWorkspace v.0.8.2. Here's a picture of the problem (I uploaded it to my
server; Nabble's image uploader wasn't working):
http://pickle.echoechoplus.com/gworkspace/fileviewer.PNG Picture 1 . As you
can see, GWorkspace isn't able to recognize my hard drive.
Now take a look at http://pickle.echoechoplus.com/gworkspace/desktop.PNG
Picture 2 . As you can see, GWorkspace can recognize the folder enough to
put it on the Desktop, but it will not open it. Another time I tried this, I
got an error about not being able to open "C:\DesktopNewFolder". Is there a
change I could make in the source, or should I try to find a different
(working) version?
I'm not sure GWorkspace is actually even supposed to work on
Windows... it probably expects lots of linuxism.
GWorkspace has *NO* linuxisms; besides linux, it runs on darwin, *BSD, solaris,
etc...
Here I see a problem in the "C:\DesktopNewFolder" path; there is not the path separator that should
be between "C:\Desktop" and "NewFolder".
Usually I use -stringByAppendingPathComponent: and, in the few cases when I
must append a path separator by hand, I use a function that calls
NSFileManager's -stringWithFileSystemRepresentation:length:; this should give
correct paths also on windows.
Anyway, not having windows, I can't test anything and it's very probable that
gworkspace doesn't run on it, but not due of these basical problems (path
handling, etc...).
