GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 88899
gedit cannot open files starting with %
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
pisces:~/src/gedit$ touch %file pisces:~/src/gedit$ gedit "%file" gedit then responds "file:///home/hosehead/src/gedit/-1.998119ile" is not a valid location. This semms like a printf-style string formatting error; I think that guarding the filename by doubling the %s (or no longer running the filename through sprintf or the like) would fix this.
Which version of gedit are you using? This bug should be fixed in CVS HEAD.
2.0.0, just like the report says. I'm creating 2.0.1 packages now and will test them once they're built.
gedit 2.0.1 is broken too. I fixed this bug today in CVS HEAD. So compile it from CVS or wait for gedit 2.0.2
