Re: [kde] Kmenu editor - launching files

No don't think it's a bug as such. It seems that if a file such as a pdf is
launched from Kmenu it isn't passed on to to the application it's associated
with.
There also seems to be some inconsistency in this area. For example
a command - wine "some win application with it's full path" - needs the
quotes and does work where as - acroread "some pdf file with it's full path"
doesn't (kpf and kghost too).
The solution is to put - acroread filename.pdf in command and the pdf file's
full directory in the working directory.
The file name can be in quotes or not in quotes. In the wine case the quotes
must be added.

Hi
I'm try to launch pdf files from the Kmenu using Kmenu edit. I expected
to just have to launch the file together with it's path but that doesn't
work. I've also tried acroread " path --- file name". That just launches
acrobat and it complains that the file doesn't exist. If I drop the
quotes it complains that several files don't exist. Just what do I need
to do?
Kmenu Edit help has no information on this sort of thing at all.
Editing in the command - wine " path -- file name " causes wine to start
up and then load the program. I'm using a gp windoze magnetics simulation
program as there doesn't seem to be anything simular available on linux
only general FEA. The pdf's are tutorials etc but wine will not launch
them from the apps window. Everything else is ok.
I'm not quite sure I understand the problem, but perhaps it's another
manifestation of http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130709 ?
