#2221 Opening files from the OS

[ivcha]

When opening .mm files from the OS (e.g. Gnome 3 "Open with..", from file managers like Krusader), freeplane opens but not with the right mindmap opened. I believe the issue is only with filenames that contain space.
Note that dragging the file into freeplane opens the correct mindmap.

Not sure if preferences affect this (e.g. I have "Open all last maps" checked)

Some other people reported similar problems (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freeplane/)

This is an issue with freeplane.sh (/usr/bin/freeplane), which is fixed
in 1.3.16+. You can fix this by editing /usr/bin/freeplane:
Replace $* at the very end of the file by "$@" (including quotes),
or wait for Leonidas ("artafinde") to include the patch.

@Leonidas: I created a patch in the 1.3.15 Debian package to fix
this, until 1.3.16+ is released:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-java/freeplane.git/tree/debian/patches/21_freeplane_sh_fix_spaces.patch
Do you want to apply this on archlinux, too?

Best Regards,

Nice, I think this fixes the problem. I will report this to the Arch package maintainer (possibly the best way is just to wait until this gets merged). Thanks!

Hello,

I updated the Archlinux package [1] (version 1.3.15-2) with the suggested patch [2]. I performed a small test: Use "Open With.." through nautilus and worked so I'd consider this closed.

Regards,
Leonidas
