Description of problem: Gobby does weird things to the file name argument so that you cannot specify a file's absolute pathname to the program. It seems to want to add the user's home directory in front of the specified file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gobby-0.4.1-1.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. From a shell type "gobby /root/src/foo.c 2. Gobby reports no such file as /root/root/src/foo.c 3. Actual results: It has added the user's home directory to the specified path and thus created an incorrect pathname. Expected results: Should use the supplied argument, or document in 'gobby --help' that it expects a pathname argument "relative" to the user's home directory. Also the hooks to use gobby from Nautilus don't provide gobby with a pathname it can use. Additional info: Right clicking in Nautilus and selecting to open a file with gobby also produces this error.
I wrote the following patch, added it to the devel branch, and tagged and built gobby-0.4.1-2.fc7. --- src/main.cpp.orig 2007-01-08 14:23:17.000000000 -0500 +++ src/main.cpp 2007-01-08 14:25:29.000000000 -0500 @@ -185,10 +185,17 @@ { // Make absolute filenames to understand the files // from everywhere when we send them to another process - files[i - 1] = Glib::build_filename( - Glib::get_current_dir(), - argv[i] - ); + if(Glib::path_is_absolute(argv[i])) + { + files[i - 1] = argv[i]; + } + else + { + files[i - 1] = Glib::build_filename( + Glib::get_current_dir(), + argv[i] + ); + } } Gobby::IconManager icon_mgr; I opened the following ticket upstream to try and get this patch applied: http://darcs.0x539.de/trac/obby/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/239
I applied this patch to FC-6 branch and kicked off a build. This issue was already fixed upstream (with a patch that's essentially the same as above).
