Description Loïc Minier 2008-10-14 18:19:46 UTC 
Hi,

in bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgnome/+bug/185171 Jonathan Carter provided a man page for gnome-open (which I tweaked slightly); could you consider adding it?

Thanks,

gnome-open man page

Needs Makefile.am magic too, do you have a patch?

Add gnome-open.1 man page in gnome-data/

Here you go; I initially pondered a man/, then went for doc/, but in the end noticed that there's already a gnome-options.7 man page in gnome-data/.
Comment 4 Christian Persch 2008-10-14 20:03:39 UTC 
Makefile.am looks good to me. 

About the man page itself, it seems kind of useless to document all those stock command line options that are completely unused in gnome-open (no bonobo, no session mgmt)...

Kjartan?
Comment 5 Kjartan Maraas 2008-10-16 14:09:11 UTC 
Yeah, agree that documenting unused command line options is suboptimal. Other than that I think this could go in.
Comment 6 Kjartan Maraas 2009-05-04 22:13:27 UTC 
Should move this to gvfs-open now that gnome-open has been deprecated I guess.
Comment 7 André Klapper 2019-02-23 02:41:36 UTC 
libgnome and libgnomeui were only used in GNOME 2 and are not under active development anymore. Their codebases have been archived:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/libgnome/commits/master
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/libgnomeui/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality.
