GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 166024
DnD --> gnome-pilot causes busy loop (w/fix)
Last modified: 2005-03-27 04:01:30 UTC
This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/6080 "When I drop a file (e.g., a pilot .pdb file) from Nautilus onto the gnome-pilot icon, I always get a busy loop and have to kill the applet. I have a simple patch, which I will attach here."
Created attachment 36861 [details] [review] patch from Chris Lee <chris@lee-gertner.net>
I can confirm this: when I drop a file on the applet and sync the file IS installed on the Palm (I have an m105), but the cpu goes 100%. If I manually kill the applet after some time I se briefly the icon of the dropped file apparently "going back" such as when you abort a dnd action.
Fixed in CVS, I copied g_uri_list_extract_uris from glib 2.6 (so we still work with older glib's). This does a few other things like ignore comments as well. Thanks for finding the source of the problem.
