Bug ID: 407164
Summary: Load Demo -button in the start-up dialog doesn't work
or opens wrong version of KPhotoAlbum
Product: kphotoalbum
Version: GIT master
Platform: Mint (Debian based)
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kpab...@willden.org
Reporter: sikana...@pumpuli.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Load Demo -button in the start-up dialog doesn't work or opens wrong version of
KPa, if KPa is started from a location which is different than what is found in
$PATH.
Running KPhotoAlbum without parameters produces a dialog, with options to
Create My Own database, Load demo or Check My Feature Set.
If KPhotoAlbum is not found in PATH, the Load Demo -button just closes the
dialog and exits the program.
I found this out when I built a new Git-based version 5.5.2. launched it from
the install directory with ./kphotoalbum and pressing Load Demo to check the
new functionality, it opened version 5.3. instead (which was the version
installed earlier from distro's repositories).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Build a new version of KPa and install it in a location not found in $PATH
2. Enter the install directory and launch KPhotoAlbum from there without
parameters
3. Press Load Demo -button
OBSERVED RESULT
Older version (found from PATH) of KPa is opened, or the demo version does not
open at all (it no version found in PATH).
EXPECTED RESULT
Demo database opens with the version of KPhotoAlbum that was just launched and
which provides the start-up dialog.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux Mint Cinnamon 19.1 with all available updates
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Launching the program with "--demo" parameter opens the demo database with the
correct version of KPa. Maybe Load Demo-button does just that, i.e. closes the
current program and re-launches it with the parameter, and this doesn't work,
if the same version is not found in PATH.
