I helped chase down a similar bug earlier in gnumeric a year or two ago. The problem there was that the colon was causing the url identifier to believe that the file is a url of "<pathuptocolon>:<stuffaftercolon".
The same is the case here. forcing a file:// url works regarless of colon. The bug is triggered on colon, and that's what I searched for. So the workaround is to use the file:// url syntax, and the solution is for someone to reach in to evince and fix the horkage. This might be in gvfs's command-line parser; I don't know and don't have time to fish around to find the fix (I have to leave town in 4 days and I must have my dissertation defence scheduled by then, which requires having the dissertation done) -- evince has trouble handling filename with escaped shell characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160996 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
