Description of problem: Until Fedora8 you were able to double-click a .tex file inside gnome-desktop environment (or alternativley by right-click context-menu and then choose texmaker as application) to open a latex file.... since Fedora9 this isn't working any more. It doesen't matter if the file is local (on the local harddisk) or on a mounted nfs share...neither is working. The only way to open a latex file with texmaker is to start textmaker from system menu a go over the file open dialog... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): texmaker-1.6-4.fc9.x86_64 nautilus-2.22.2-7.fc9.x86_64 kernel: 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.x86_64 arch: x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a latex document with a latex editor of your choice... 2. try to open the document with a double click in nautilus or with the context menu 3. Actual results: none (no application gets started...) Expected results: texmaker starts using the selected latex file Additional info:
This look like a nautilus bug. When you double-click or right-click and select 'Open eith Texmaker', the message below is written to .xsession-error; ... ** (nautilus:2750): WARNING **: Can't open app: Failed to change to directory '' (No such file or directory) ...
Yes it seems so. If you use a custom command to open a tex file and set it to path of texmaker (/usr/bin/texmaker) then it works as before... cheers, LiRo
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. 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 prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
