Package: amule
Version: 1.2.6+rc8-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Preview feature seems to be waiting for the preview process to finish, and
amule (or at least the GUI) freezes as a consequence of this.
This appears to be a bug in WxWindows. According to the documentation, the
default behaviour in wxExecute() is to _not_ wait for child to finish. I tried
to force it with:
diff -ur amule-1.2.6+rc8.old/src/DownloadListCtrl.cpp

*/
command.Append(wxT("\""));
- wxExecute(command);
+ wxExecute(command, wxEXEC_ASYNC, NULL);
}
but this doesn't seem to work either. I think this is an wxwindows bug.
(i'm putting the wxwindows maintainer on CC, please reassign if adequate)
For what amule is concerned, this cheap hack using fork worked fine here:
diff -ur amule-1.2.6+rc8.old/src/DownloadListCtrl.cpp
