I want to open any folder throw open with by git-cola but it didn't work by default because it needs current path parameter. I tried to use "%f", "%1" and "%U" but they didn't work

What's the parameter of current path in KDE?



P.S. May you please guide me the rest of parameters in KDE

the %U and such are not KDE specific but from Freedesktop http://standards.freedesktop.org/deskto ... atest.html

did you try $PWD

But I noticed that File Association uses them!

did you try $PWD

Didn't work

should you be doing this in systemsettings - file associations -> inode -> directory -> add ?

you want to open a folder in Dolphin with git-cola?

Man, I already added it, it doesn't work as I mentioned above because it needs current path parameter as shown in the screenshot.

did you try the git-cola mailing list?

no idea if it will work but what about changing the command to

Code: Select all

cd %u; git-cola %u

Nop, I thought this issue related to KDE because open with works fine in Cinnamon!

When I run it from terminal it worked fine but when I configured directory to be open by it (as mentioned it the sheceenshot above) it didn't work!

if you use advanced options -> run in terminal, do you get any useful feedback?

in Cinnamon you used %u for work path and it worked fine? my understanding is that .desktop files and it's variables are supposed to be standard (but that's my understanding)

Oops when I configured it to run interminal it worked!!!


This partially fixed the issue but I don't want to see damn terminal window!

In Cinnamon worked without passing any thing

So it seems it's not the missing "working path" but something else for it to have to be using "run in terminal?

I have one program (gnubg) that will only "run in terminal" and I have no idea why

maybe a new thread entitled "why program will only run when "run in terminal" is enabled" or such

Do you've any idea how to fix this issue in KDE?

none - that's why I suggested a new thread

if you always have a Konsole window open you can use the --new-tab option so that a new Konsole window doesn't open but then each run of git-cola will add another Konsole tab

not quite correct - the new tab will automatically close when you close the git-cola instance (at least in by test not using git-cola)

I think I'll ask git-cola guys then I'll post the solution here. Any way if any one find the solution don't hesitate to post it here.

Thanks

Thanks to David Aguilar he gave me the right solution:

command: git-cola --repo %u
working directory : %u
