[Bug 1395437] Re: Lubuntu - PCManFM - Nedit won't open files

[us2000]

Hi, thanks for your answer!

I looked a little closer, I still believe the error is in
nedit.desktop in the exec line:

Exec=nedit-nc %U

Comparing with another *working* program like leafpad shows in
leafpad.desktop:

Exec=leafpad %f

Some command line option debugging:
%f results in /home/us2000/df.txt as first command line option.
%U results in  file:///home/us2000/df.txt - which can't be understand by 
Nedit.

So my conclusion is: the %U in the exec line is wrong, replacing it by
%f solves the issue too.

After Update Lubuntu 14.10 -- 15.04 my above described workaround was  
recessed.
Bug still open :-(
Re-applying my workaround solves the issue again.

And I still believe it is only a workaround that I don't want to
incorporate in the nedit package. The issue must be solved at the root
(I have no idea where that lies though).

[us2000]

Now it's clear for me, see 
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/91934/no-desktop-and-u-what-for
for an explanation of the variables.

%U is for URL's, like file:// http:// - modern programs may understand this, 
but not nedit.
Nedit needs the simple plain %f, or better %F to open a list of files.

So the correct solution is

#/usr/share/applications/nedit.desktop
Exec=nedit-nc %F

best regards

Indeed, seems like I was wrong in my understanding that I tested %U. I
think my browser passed the local filenames all along.

No, I could not reproduce this in my Debian Jessie KDE environment. It
works as it should. So indeed I believe that the proposed solution is
wrong and the problem should be found and solved elsewhere.

[Paul Gevers]

Hmm, I should have looked better. Of course the bug is not in NEdit, the
URL is wrong (I expect that it just should have been
file:/correct_path_to_file.txt. That must be provided by PCManFM in
this case.

[Dave Kokandy]

Paul, were you able to reproduce or confirm this bug? If so, we can mark
it as confirmed. When I tried to reproduce, Nedit crashed on me  hasn't
been able to open since (filed as a different bug).

It may not be a PCManFM thing, it might be a lubuntu setting package. I
can try to test this again over the weekend if you can confirm.

[Bug 1395437] Re: Lubuntu - PCManFM - Nedit won't open files

[Paul Gevers]

Is there any reason why this bug is not assigned to nedit?

At quick glance, the fix doesn't look right, but I'll try to not to
forget to look into this.
