Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
I am unable to drag a file into a running script because the terminal
creates single quotes around the filename automatically, which causes an
error in the script. The test script is
#!/bin/bash -x
echo 'paste the md5sum from the source website here:'
read SHOULD
echo 'type path to file here:'
read NAME
if [ "$SHOULD" = `openssl dgst -md5 < "$NAME"` ]; then
echo 'verified'
else
echo 'verify failed!'
fi
which works when I type the full path (without ~) but fails when I drag
the file to the terminal because of the automatically created quotes. I
posted this in Launchpad, but nobody has answered so far. I may
eventually figure out a solution, but it is a totally unnecessary
complication (I could not find anything in gconf-editor or anywhere else
to change the behaviour of the terminal).
