Actually ext3fs over lvm: /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lvmedia on /home/media type ext3 (rw) /dev/mapper/vg2-lvbigdisk on /home/bigdisk type ext3 (rw) > NFS which should work fine). You aren't using Mac OS X, are you? fedora 8: Linux davidtdesktop 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 #1 SMP Sun Feb 10 17:48:34 EST 2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux > The error message seems to come from the QUrlOperator class - more > precisely, from QUrlOperator::startOperation() - which is used inside > the QFileDialog.

This is with the same source file that is a problem in the other path. Tried a few others, and narrowed it down to issue with either: dvbcut A.B\:C.mpg {from that dvb dir below} dvbcut /home/media/dvb/A.B\:C.mpg but the following are OK: dvbcut /home/media/X.Y/A.mpg dvbcut /home/media/X.Y/A:mpg dvbcut /home/media/X\:Y/A\:mpg dvbcut /home/media/X.Y\:Z/A\:mpg I guess that means someone is assuming a filename that includes more than 1 dot and a colon "must be a URL" :-( even if it looks nothing like a: protocol://somepath AFAIK having multiple dots in a filename or path is perfectly legit in most modern file systems. {Colons are no go in windows, as you mention.} DaveT. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
