Open with -> External script isn't working from digiKam

[AndriusWild]

Hello,
I have added few bash scripts to the system "Open with" menu.
Normally I select files - right click - "open with" - select the script.
Everything works just fine from my file manager (dolphin) but it is not working
from digikam.
Any ideas on why is this happening?

Thanks,
AG

[AndriusWild]

I execute "/path/to/script.sh" %F when open with scipt.
Maybe digikam does not pass selected files as %F ?
However if I drag selected files from digikam and drop them in terminal as
"paste location" I do get /PATH/TO/FILE1 /PATH/TO/FILE2 etc.
...

Did you use AppImage ? If yes, it's know that KService and KIO are
definitively complex to run due to plenty runtime dependencies...

The open With use these frameworks in background, and personalty the
design of these comopents is bad and not adapted to bundle
application. This include also MAcOS and Windows (OpenWith support is
disabled while compilation for these OS.)

Gilles,
No I am not using the appimage.
In fact, Open With - "VLC media player" works.
Only shell scipts seem to have the issue.

To reproduce the issue you can creat a test script test.sh and make it
executable:
----beginning of the code---
#!/usr/bin/env bash
for file in "$@"; do
echo "File is "$@" "
done
----end of the code----

then create test.desktop file, copy it to $HOME/.local/share/applications/ and
make executable.

---beginning of the code----
[Desktop Entry]
Categories=AudioVideo;Video;
Comment=Test
Exec="/PATH/TO/test.sh" %F
GenericName=Test
Icon=
MimeType=video/x-msvideo;video/quicktime;video/mpeg;video/mp4;
Name=Test
NoDisplay=false
Path=
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=true
TerminalOptions=\s--noclose
Type=Application
Version=1.0
X-DBUS-ServiceName=
X-DBUS-StartupType=none
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=
----end of the code----

Then open Dolphin - select few video files - open with - Test
which will work.

Then open digiKam - select few video files - open with - Test
it won't work.

Because of portability, we do not use the  function from KF5::KIO. We use its
own function to start programs, %F is supported. I'll check it again.

Sorry I made a mistake in the test.sh. Here is the correct code:

 

----beginning of the code---

#!/usr/bin/env bash

for FILE in "$@"; do

echo "File is "$FILE" "

done

----end of the code----

Problem is now fixed for digiKam-5.6.0, the script is running. The quotes in
the command line were the problem. Another thing is, we do not support the
function open in the terminal.

Yes, is fixed, script is now running. We not support the function: open in the
terminal from the *.desktop file.

How can I open with shell script if "open in terminal" is not supported?

For some scripts I need them just to run, for others I need to have the terminal window open after finishing to be able to review errors and warnings
