Bug#: 190289 Product:  Gentoo Linux Version: unspecified Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux Status: RESOLVED Severity: minor Priority: P2

Summary: app-editors/gvim desktop exec entry misses file
Keywords:  
Status Whiteboard: 
Opened: 2007-08-26 11:03 0000
Description:   Opened: 2007-08-26 11:03 0000 
Currently, gVim desktop file (/usr/share/applications/gvim.desktop) Exec entry
reads:
Exec=gvim -f
When using a file manager on which we assigned gvim to open a file, the file
manager will not pass the selected file's location.
gvim accepts URIs, so using %U is expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Assign a file type to gvim.
2. Open a file.
Actual Results:  
gvim opens with no file.

Expected Results:  
gvim should open the selected file.

Well, I originately only added %U, but here is modified version which should
address warnings and errors.

vim-7.1.123 which is in CVS uses a new gvim.desktop file. %U is known to have
problems with unicode filenames[1] so I changed it to gvim -f %F
Thanks for reporting ;)

Strange, it works for me whatever strange Unicode characters I use (UTF-8
locale) and Enlightenment's integrated file manager. Anyway, it should not be a
problem :)
