User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.63 Safari/537.36 Build Identifier: Normally, hdfview can be used as follows on the command line "hdfview somefile.h5" and then the graphical program starts with somefile.h5 opened. However, due to a bug in version 2.9 of hdfview, this does not work. It is fixed in version 2.10, which was released on December 20, 2013. Note that this is mostly annoying when opening a h5 file from another graphical program, e.g. h5 attachment in an e-mail can not be opened by double clicking on the file. More about the 2.10 release can be found here (it is part of a java interface to hdf5): http://www.hdfgroup.org/products/java/hdf-java-html/ Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the attached example file test.h5 2. Open a terminal. 3. Run the command hdfview test.h5 Actual Results: hdfview starts with no file opened. Expected Results: It should start with the file test.h5 opened.
Created attachment 846156 [details] example h5 file to demonstrate the bug
Just to indicate that Toon is not the only one annoyed with this bug. Same occurs on Fedora 19, which has the same hdfview version. This is a quite annoying bug, because wading through the file menus is not the nicest way of using hdfview.
Upstream also mentions this problem, and the fact that they solved it in version 2.10: "Command-line options can now be specified correctly with HDFView." See: http://www.hdfgroup.org/newsletters/newsletter138.html Also I note that hdfview in rawhide already is at version 2.10-3.fc21. Could you please consider to make this new version available for f19 and f20 as well?
I'm sorry for unsolicitedly putting the hdf5 maintainer in the CC list. (Orion Poplawski) The jhdf5 maintainer appears to be busy or doesn't care. I'm desperately trying to get some attention for this bug. It is just so annoying!
Sorry for the lag, I will update the package ASAP.
Great! Looking forward to the update. Thank you so much.

jhdf5-2.10.1-2.fc20 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 20. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/jhdf5-2.10.1-2.fc20
Hello, I fixed the classpath issue at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/jhdf5-2.10.1-2.fc20 . Can you re-check please ?
jhdf5-2.10.1-2.fc20 works
Yes, hdfview from the updated package hdfview-2.10.1-2.fc20.noarch starts without crashing now, and it does accept an input file as commandline argument, so this issue is solved. However, I see a new issue (maybe minor) on my system: hdfview seems to have lost the icons for the buttons just below the menu bar. It is not clear to me why this happens, and I don't see any warnings or other issues when starting hdfview from the commandline. I'll attach a screenshot for information. The buttons are simple square boxes now, which are functional, but you have to guess which one has what function ...

I just installed hdfview-2.10.1-2.fc20.noarch (the latest build) and I get exactly the same problem as Jos: the original bug is fixed but the icons are missing.
This issue of the missing icons persists in Fedora 21. Just tested with hdfview-2.10.1-3.fc21.noarch Any ideas on what is wrong here?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '21'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 21 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

I still see the same bug in f24, using: hdfview-2.11.0-7.fc24.noarch Upstream is now at version 2.13, so maybe it is time for an update for jhdf?
No change in jhdf5-2.11.0-8.fc25.x86_64.

This package is in "maintenance" mode, upstream split this package in hdf-java and hdfview [1]. Build systems also changed and most of the packaged issues might now be fixed due to this changes. IMHO it should be better to create a new hdfview package based on the upstream split and change this package to only manage hdf-java. What's your opinion on that ?

I've been hacking on a new hdfview package for last 2h ;)
Review request: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1403030 This new version fixes the issue with icons.

Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
