I found that if I ran a command like this: liuxg@liuxg:~/Qt/Examples/Qt-5.4/quick/customitems/painteditem$ qmlscene textballoon.qml
The qmlscene does not take the QML file name, instead it prompts me to select a file from a FileDialog to choose a file to run. It is a little bit confusing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-ui-toolkit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1231558 Title: qmlscene prevents using default command line arguments after the .qml filename Status in Calendar application for Ubuntu devices: Confirmed Status in Clock application for Ubuntu devices: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When using defaultArgument to get one or many default arguments passed by the command line using QmlScene, it seems that it not take the arguments passed after the .qml file, but before. Currently pass a default argument you have to do : qmlscene argument file.qml It would be better to do : qmlscene file.qml argument But it don't work with qmlscene. Since a lot of linux commands work as the following : "command arg1 arg2", it would be great to make ubuntu qml apps work according to the same pattern.
