I'd like some more information on this one. I found out that the problem was a bug in the current ubuntu version of xdg-open. To work around this bug, I did the following trick: Created an alias to kde-open, placed it in my ~/bin directory and named it xdg-open. That way when xdg-open is called, kde-open runs instead.
Within the C# program, this works as expected when the argument is a directory: My file manager (Dolphin) opens in that directory. However, calling it with a file still doesn't work and there's no application output either. If I try xdg-open from the terminal with a file, it works. So my question is: Does Mono handle opening directories differently than opening files? For example, maybe when opening a directory it calls xdg-open from the default location (in my case ~/bin) but when opening a file it specifically calls it from /usr/bin? -- View this message in context: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/Opening-a-file-and-directory-in-the-system-s-default-viewer-tp2325051p2334093.html Sent from the Mono - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
