Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
System: Edgy 2.6.15-28-386 (#1 PREEMPT Thu Feb 1 15:51:56 UTC 2007)
Nautilus: Nautilus 2.16.1
Situation: Added new menu items via Applications|Edit Menus|New Item.
Specifically to an OpenOffice install in the /opt/ directory. Example:
/opt/openoffice.org2.2/program/swriter. However, the browsed to path shown in
the application properties menu shows:
/opt/openoffice\.org\2\.\2/program/swriter.
This does not present a problem in Applications|Office|menuitem as the program
opens properly from the Applications menu.
Problem:
The above example link does create a problem (and is repeatable) in the
following circumstance:
1. From Nautilus browser I click on a .doc file (or .odt or simlar) and wish to
open it with the OOo Writer program that I've added in the Applications|Office|
menu. So I right click the file and select "Open with Other Application".
2. I select the application that I've added to the Office menu (in this case
OOo 2.2 Writer) from the application dropdown list. An error results: Could not
add application - Could not add application to the application database.
3. Click on 'Custom Command' and find the path listed as:
/opt/openoffice\.org\2\.\2/program/swriter (the same as was entered by adding
to the menu via the browse to application box).
4. If the path is corrected to properly show:
/opt/openoffice.org2.2/program/swriter the application is added to the
application database.
It appears that an application with a path containing a period (.) in
the path is not correctly added in Applications|Edit Menu|New Item.
