Bug ID: 436374
Summary: KDE Connect run command plugin on windows problems
with quote
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: common

SUMMARY
I'm not sure exactly how broken this is, but when i try to run a command with
quotes in it (parameters with spaces) the command doesn't run successfuly.
I tried running nircmd.exe (https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html) program
to speak text with parameters:
nircmd.exe speak text "Hello world asd asd" 2
the command expects [speak] [text] [Text to speak] [speak rate] [volume]
but the computer spoke
Backslash Hello world asd asd Backslash
So it somehow understands that the text i put between the quotes is just one
argument (it doesn't overwrite speak rate and volume), but it adds backslashes
somewhere.
I tried editing the config file in the AppData folder and removing some
backslashes there, but it deleted all of my commands.
I also tried looking at the source code, but I don't understand much C++
For writing this report, I created a simple executable that just writes its
arguments to a file, with the following C# code:
public class a{
public static void Main(string[] args){
File.AppendAllText("D:\\args.txt", args.Length.ToString() + "
Values:\r\n");
for(int i=0; i<args.Length; i++){
File.AppendAllText("D:\\args.txt", args[i]);
File.AppendAllText("D:\\args.txt", "\r\n");
}}}
And now that program says it gets 7 arguments when i run with the same
commands. (It doesn't accept quoted string as a single command, while if i run
it from command line, it does.)
It says the third argument starts with a quote and sixth one ends with a quote.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Be on Windows
2. Create a Command that uses quotes in the command
3. Watch it break in different ways
OBSERVED RESULT
While the nircmd.exe program gets the argument with additional backslashes, my
test program gets each word in the arguments seperately.
EXPECTED RESULT
Both of the commands to work like executing with them with cmd /k as
runplugincommand.cpp tries to do
