Public bug reported: Double clicking a hdf5 file sometimes results in hdfview opening but not displaying the file. This happens when there is a space somewhere in the filepath. It can be fixed by changing one line in the launcher /usr/bin/hdfview from:
run_java ncsa.hdf.view.HDFView -root /usr/share/doc/libjhdf-doc/ $* to: run_java ncsa.hdf.view.HDFView -root /usr/share/doc/libjhdf-doc/ "$*" ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: hdfview 2.6.1-2 [modified: usr/bin/hdfview] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-14.23-generic 3.0.9 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-14-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Jan 20 11:44:53 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release amd64 (20111012) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_AU:en PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: jhdf UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-12-20 (30 days ago) ** Affects: jhdf (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug oneiric -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/919000 Title: hdfview launcher doesn't escape spaces in filepaths To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jhdf/+bug/919000/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
