Description bakhtiar 2009-11-21 07:37:05 UTC 
I try to preview a webpage in browser and I have change the command in preference and ensure it has no spaces in path. But it still failed. gspawn-win32-helper.exe seems looking for sh.exe and then exited.
Comment 1 bakhtiar 2009-11-21 07:39:34 UTC 
oh its the same for 1.3.7 unstable
Comment 2 Olivier Sessink 2010-01-11 22:08:32 UTC 
the issue with sh.exe is fixed in 2.0.0-rc1, can you see if it works now?
Comment 3 bakhtiar 2010-01-21 09:35:53 UTC 
In 2.0.0-rc1, it freeze Bluefish immediately. I can't even track what it looking for using filemon like previous version..
I have add firefox.exe inside PATH enviroment but no good.
Comment 4 Olivier Sessink 2010-01-21 14:24:14 UTC 
what does the external command preference you are using look like?
Comment 5 bakhtiar 2010-01-21 16:19:10 UTC 
for Firefox

fullpath:
C:/programs/mozilla/firefox/firefox.exe "%p"
C:\\programs\\mozilla\\firefox\\firefox.exe "%p"
using PATH:
firefox.exe "%p"
or argumentless
firefox.exe

all didn't even fire up a blank firefox (immediately freeze). Filemon doesn't even detect anyfile that Bluefish read/open/write right after previewing
Comment 6 Daniel Leidert 2010-01-21 17:17:22 UTC 
Can you see something via procmon or procexp (not sure - that one that replaces filemon and regmon) and attach the log to this report? I will check myself asap.

Comment 8 bakhtiar 2010-01-21 23:52:09 UTC 
BTW I created C:\Users\qwerty\Locals\Temp\bluefish-qwerty-0\WinSta0 because bluefish expecting it to be exist. Just to make sure whether it's related or not (like creating tempfile for previewing, maybe) but it seems unrelated.

Comment 10 Olivier Sessink 2010-06-06 07:58:18 UTC 
In 2.0.1 most of the external commands work on windows. Can you test latest svn or 2.0.1-rc1?
Comment 11 bakhtiar 2010-06-28 17:58:20 UTC 
Where is those 2.0.1 binary? I can't find it at sourceforge neither I know how to build it with MSYS... Sorry for the late answer btw
Comment 12 Olivier Sessink 2010-06-30 21:42:52 UTC 
go to the bluefish website, go to download, choose a mirror, go to binaries go to win32
