I found that if I ran a command like this: liuxg@liuxg:~/Qt/Examples/Qt-5.4/quick/customitems/painteditem$ qmlscene textballoon.qml
The qmlscene does not take the QML file name, instead it prompts me to select a file from a FileDialog to choose a file to run. It is a little bit confusing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1231558 Title: qmlscene prevents using default command line arguments after the .qml filename To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-calendar-app/+bug/1231558/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
