Doesn't work..
Last modified: 2007-12-02 07:45:17 EST
Description of problem: I click on icon/name of an iso file in the gnome panel, and nothing happens. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): isomaster 1.1 How reproducible: always (for me) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Applications -> Accessories -> ISO Master 2. Navigate to a directory containing iso files 3. Click on icon/name of iso file 4. Nothing happens. Actual results: As above - nada, zit Expected results: As documentation states, the lower part of the panel should fill with the icon/names of directories/files within the iso file. Additional info: Currently using Fedora 7. Would like to use Fedora 8, but am facing the f8upgdephang bug. Was hoping that ISO Master would help create a new F8.iso
I can't reproduce that. 1. Could you start isomaster from a console to see for displayed errors? 2. Is it some specified ISO image? I yes, please check with some other images too. And if it is possible please provide a path to that calamitous iso.
1. [root@hoho2 sql]# isomaster ISO Master warning: failed to open config file for reading, trying to create [root@hoho2 sql]# ----- When I try as a user, I get: [user1@hoho2 ~]$ isomaster [user1@hoho2 ~]$ No messages ---- Looking for config file [user1@hoho2 ~]$ ls -la | grep master -rw-r--r-- 1 user1 user1 619 2007-12-01 11:02 .isomaster [user1@hoho2 ~]$ ---- Contents of config file: [user1@hoho2 ~]$ cat .isomaster [ui] windowwidth = 787 windowheight = 804 toppaneheight = 321 fscurrentdir = /home/user1/Desktop/FC6/ showhiddenfilesfs = 0 sortdirsfirst = 1 scanforduplicatefiles = 1 followsymlinks = 0 appendextension = 1 editor = text-editor.sh viewer = xdg-open tempdir = /tmp isosortcolumnid = 1 isosortdirection = 0 fssortcolumnid = 1 fssortdirection = 0 [user1@hoho2 ~]$ Hope this helps 2. I tried several, thinking it might be size related, I tried smaller isos.
When I do: [user1@hoho2 FC6]$ xdg-open FC-6-i386-disc1.iso I get a dialog panel that is titled "Write to Disk" My DVD/CD burner is the choice on one of the popups. At least xdg-open exists on my system..
I think I know what the problem is. To open ISO file you should use Image->Open (from a menu), not double click on that file. Could you try it?
I select an iso file in the top pane. I go to Image->Open and It opens up a directory viewer in a separate window with the title 'Open File' and the left pane shows 'user1' highlighted (my username) and the directories (no files) listed in the right pane are from my own disk directory. No iso files in the lower pane of ISO Master...
OK, figured it out. In comment #5 above (the new window), when I navigate to my iso file in that window, and then double-click on an iso file, then the lower panel of the original dialog fills in with the files/directories in the iso file. Weird. Why have the 2nd window popping up? What good is the top pane in the original user interface? Certainly not an 'intuitive' GUI. But, it does seem to work. Thanks much.
I already reported your suggestion to the author about automatically opening ISO when double clicked on them (in the upper pane). The list above is used for adding files when some iso is already opened. In fact it could be a little bit confusing after fresh start.
