Package: xdg-utils Version: 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7.4 Severity: important Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer, I use calibre for organizing my perosnal ebook library. Calibre store ebooks in filenames containing spaces (plus possibly special characters) and uses xdg-open to open these ebooks. Unfortunately, under lxde, any attempt to open any of these ebooks fails with a message (from pcmanfm, I suppose) such as "/home/judicael/calibre/John%20Doe/A%20book.pdf: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type" (i.e. "...: No such file or directory"). According to http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2724944&postcount=15 the problem lies in the open_lxde function. Indeed, if I patch it with the code from open_generic, it works perfectly. Here is the patch, could you apply it to the debian version or forward it upstream? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --- /usr/bin/xdg-open 2015-02-20 16:30:32.000000000 +0100 +++ /home/judicael/scripts/xdg-open 2016-12-20 16:12:42.359019656 +0100 @@ -676,14 +676,22 @@ open_lxde() { # pcmanfm only knows how to handle file:// urls and filepaths, it seems. if (echo "$1" | grep -q '^file://' || ! echo "$1" | egrep -q '^[[:alpha:]+\.\-]+:') then - local file="$(echo "$1" | sed 's%^file://%%')" - + local file="$1" + # Decode URLs + if echo "$file" | grep -q '^file:///'; then + file=${file#file://} + local printf=printf + if [ -x /usr/bin/printf ]; then + printf=/usr/bin/printf + fi + file="$($printf "$(echo "$file" | sed -e 's@%\([a-f0-9A-F]\{2\}\)@\\x\1@g')")" + fi # handle relative paths if ! echo "$file" | grep -q '^/'; then file="$(pwd)/$file" fi pcmanfm "$file" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yours, J.
