[Bug 261526] New: Other applications to edit the photos cannot be added in the "open , "others" - error: path is not correct

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261526

           Summary: Other applications to edit the photos cannot be added
                    in the "open , "others" - error: path is not correct
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.7.0
          Platform: MS Windows
        OS/Version: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: [hidden email]
        ReportedBy: [hidden email]


Version:           1.7.0 (using KDE 4.4.4)
OS:                MS Windows

Other applications to edit photos (like GIMP, RAW Therapee etc.) cannot be
added - they are not found, but there exist and the path is correct (it works
f.i. in Irfanview and other applications perfectly. It does not work if I am
logged in as administrator neither as other user.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Go to thumbnail, right click, "open with", "others" ( or "other application" -
I use the German version. Click to the correct path - an error message occurs:
'C:/Programme/../gimp-2.6.exe' not found, please type a valid program name.' -
regardless of which application and (correct) path you choose.


Expected Results:  
It should add the application to the same menu where "showFot" or
"DNGConverter" are. If you click on "The Gimp" for instance, the foto would be
opened by the progamm "The Gimp"

Without this feature, digikam has no use for my workflow - what a pity, it is
such a nice piece of software !

Version:           2.3.0 (using KDE 4.7.2)
OS:                MS Windows

It works under Windows too. But you have to replace the unix directory
separators (slash, "/") by the windows directory separators (backslash, "\")
manually. And you have to quote the complete path, if it contains a space.

So far so good, but there is still a problem: If you check "Remember
application association for this type of file" and click ok, digiKam will
freeze. I think this is an other bug and belongs to an own report?!

This works for me now on Windows in 3.1.0 except that the path is incorrectly
displayed to the user (i.e. still using unix paths). However, it does not crash
and the image is opened correctly. Also, you can click the 'remember' button
and it will add the program to the list of available 'open with' programs (I
see that the icon of the program is not pulled in to the context menu, I'll see
how hard that is to fix - also when you open with the open with menu, the
opened application does not come to the front, i'll see if I can fix that too).
Can you try this out and I will fix the path display for the next version? Here
is the new installer:

For me, with version 3.1.0, it's exactly as you described it :-)
