Description Tim Lee 2006-08-31 18:57:05 UTC 
In the recorder script has the path to the glade and icon files hard coded in the script. For example:

x = gtk.glade.XML('/usr/share/dogtail/glade/recorder.glade')

Which causes problems if you install to a different prefix.

So I worked around this by adding code like this (admittedly not very elegant):

        exec_root = sys.argv[0].split("/bin/")[0]
        if exec_root[0] is not '/':
            exec_root = "/usr"

        try:
            x = gtk.glade.XML('recorder.glade')
        except RuntimeError:
            x = gtk.glade.XML(exec_root + '/share/dogtail/glade/recorder.glade')

Thanks for the report, and the fix. I modified it very slightly, and committed it:

        try:
            x = gtk.glade.XML('recorder.glade')
        except RuntimeError:
            import sys
            exec_root = sys.argv[0].split("/bin/")[0]
            if exec_root[0] is not '/':
                exec_root = "/usr"
            x = gtk.glade.XML(exec_root + '/share/dogtail/glade/recorder.glade')
