I have a lot of bash scripts laying around in $HOME/bin. Most of them
work with parameters inside of them like ${1}.1. These scripts fail if applied with parameters via Alt+F2 in unity. E.g. <[path/]myscript.sh "[path/]param1"> or <[path/]myscript.sh 'param1'> or <[path/]myscript.sh param\ with \ whitespace> or <[path/]myscript.sh "param with whitespace"> or <[path/]myscript.sh 'param with whitespace'> 2. These commands also don't work when issued within launcher- quicklinks. Beside the fact, that pasting clipboard entries with middle mouse click or Strg+V is not working, this is one of the most annoying facts about the implementation of Alt+F2. I hope to see this getting into the focus of you unity guys because these are essential linux/unix features. Running a parametrised bash script should be supported with all features with Alt+F2 and unity- launchers. This forces me again to install programs like gmrun. This should not be necessary any more with unity. BTW: thanks for this first version of unity which is really a great peace of software ;) Greets Axel -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779122 Title: Can't launch command with arguments from ALT-F2 or SUPER menus -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
