This bug is about how QCad treats URL-type command line arguments: How to reproduce:
1. create a DXF-file with QCad and save it somewhere (say /home/user/Desktop/test.dxf) 2. use Nautilus to locate the file 3. using Nautilus, start QCad on the file 4. QCad tries to open /file:/home/user/Desktop/test.dxf Similarly, from the command line: 1. $ cd /home/user 2. $ qcad file:/home/user/Desktop/test.dxf 3. QCad tries to open /home/user/file:/home/user/Desktop/test.dxf ** Summary changed: - I cannot open a file with spaces in its name from Nautilus + I cannot open a file from Nautilus ** Changed in: qcad (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- I cannot open a file from Nautilus https://launchpad.net/bugs/50488 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
