Description Jean-Yves Lefort 2008-04-30 16:48:06 UTC 
If I remember correctly, it used to work in GNOME versions prior to 2.22.

the fix

Here's the fix. Note that you also need to pull in gio by updating configure.ac and Makefile.am.

Comment 3 Michel Alexandre Salim 2008-06-01 21:21:14 UTC 
Is there any reason to keep gnome-open? What does it do that gvfs-open does not do?
Comment 4 Christian Persch 2008-06-01 22:28:55 UTC 
Programmes call gnome-open so we need at least install a symlink...
Comment 5 Kjartan Maraas 2008-06-02 23:22:35 UTC 
I agree. If gvfs-open does everything that gnome-open does, why not just let gvfs install the symlinks then?
Comment 6 Christian Persch 2008-06-03 14:38:45 UTC 
Agreed. Let's move this to gvfs and remove the gnome-open code once the symlink exists.
Comment 7 Sebastien Bacher 2008-06-03 15:32:35 UTC 
couldn't gnome-open have a one liner doing the call rather? that would make the distributor job easier than having to add logic to handle the upgrade between components

Comment 9 Christian Persch 2008-09-08 20:02:37 UTC 
I committed the patch porting gnome-open to GIO, so we don't have to wait for the symlink to get a working gnome-open.

Comment 11 Alexander Larsson 2008-09-25 10:30:17 UTC 
Closing since gnome-open now works fine.
I don't think it hurts keeping gnome-open...
