Bug 251761 – sci-visualization/grace-5.1.22-r1: doesn't work with xdg-open under gnome and gedit

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dirk Goettel 2008-12-20 16:56:36 UTC]

snipp...
    --enable-grace-home=/usr/share/${PN} \
    --with-helpviewer="xdg-open %s" \
    --with-editor="xdg-open %s" \
    --with-printcmd="lpr" \
    $(use_with fftw) \

In Gnome xdg-open starts gedit in background and this doesn't work for me. I must xmgrace start like this 
 
  GRACE_EDITOR="gedit" LC_ALL="${LC_ALL:0:5}" /usr/bin/xmgrace 


Reproducible: Always

Start xmgrace with gedit and new localization

  GRACE_EDITOR="gedit" LC_ALL="${LC_ALL:0:5}" /usr/bin/xmgrace

Hi,

Thanks for reporting.
The solution you proposed doesn't help for non gedit users.
Would adding something simple like "export GRACE_EDITOR=gedit" in your .bashrc help?

No answer for 11 month.

Yes, "export GRACE_EDITOR=gedit" in my .bashrc works fine.
