XnViewMP-0.60 : Drag and drop to LibreOffice - No news here

[Elias]

I am using Chakra Linux 64 bits, LibreOffice 4.0.3 and XnViewMP 0.60.
When I try to drag and drop an image from XnViewMP to a LibreOffice document, I get an "Insert Section" dialog from LibreOffice and I can't insert the image.
When I try to drag and drop an image from XnViewMP to a Kate document I get a "The file or folder smb://####### doesn't exist" message from Kate and I can't insert the image.
It works perfectly when I use Windows 7 and I think it worked when I was using Kubuntu.
And what means the message "smb://" when the file I am trying to drag and drop is in my local disk?
Someone can help me to fix or understand this?

The file that you drag&drop is on a shared folder?

[Elias]

Hi Pierre. No, nothing special. The files are in normal folders in my HD.
I don't understand why the "smb://" appears. The files are in normal and common folders in a local drive installed in my PC.

I updated to XnViewMP-0.60 with new drag and drop capacities.
I was happy. But my little problem remais the same.

[Elias]

I'm using Chakra Linux 2013.05-Benz, KDE 4.10.4, Dolphin 2.2 and XnViewMP 0.60.
When I try to drag and drop an image
from
/home/elias/images-2/LG-109.JPG
to
/home/elias/images/
I get the message
"O arquivo ou pasta smb://home/elias/images-2/LG-109.JPG não existe"
or in english
"The file or folder smb://home/elias/images-2/LG-109.JPG don't exist"
I'm sending a snapshot to ilustrate.
Thanks in advance.

And with another software than LibreOffice?

Hello,
FYI: Strange ... Drag and drop to "LibreOffice 3.5.7.2" works here. (from XnViewMP Linux x64 v0.60 under Ubuntu LTS 10.04)

Hi Pierre
As I posted on 06 Jul 2013, it's not working even with the official KDE file manager Dolphin.

And even more strange. I works perfectly on another machine runing Chakra Linux 32 bits.
The only difference I could note was: Working on a 32 bits machine - Don't working on a 64 bits machine.

PS.: And what about the mysterious "smb://" appearing in the dialog boxes?

Hi Pierre

...So it's probably a system configuration problem ??? ... you should do a try with/from an other location like /home/$USER/folder1/file1.jpg ... ?

[Elias]

My dear (new) friend oops66, en fait, vous êtes probablement un génie.
Pardon, it's only a joke.
Well, I don't know how you did this but you are completly right.
I create a new user and tried to use XnViewMP to copy an image from a folder to another directly on Dolphin.
It worked!!!!
So I tried to copy from XnView to a document on LibreOffice and so....
It worked perfectly.

So I will have to abandon my normal user to fix the problem.
Thanks very much, merci bien, but...

What kind of @#%#$#$$##@@ configuration problem can cause this?

Elias

PS. I'm feeling happy cause there was no problem with XnViewMP at all.

[Elias]

But.... as the problem occurred only with XnViewMP (I think), it would be interesting to find out what happened?

Perhaps a problem in the smb.conf file?

[Elias]

I give up.
I tried all I could and nothing.
I created a new user and the drag and drop works... and so, suddenly stops working.
I created a new user again... and works again. I tried to isolate all possible parameters, from smb, from user, from XnViewMP, LibreOffice and nothing seems to explain when works and when stops working.
I tried to copy several parameters from a good user to a user that doesn't work... and nothing.
So, suddenly the good users stops working too, without any warning.
And... it's too much for me. I am not an expert, only a curious.
For while, no more drag and drop from XnViewMP for me.
I can't live without XnViewMP but I can live without this feature.
Thanks for helps. If someone find out something...
