Can't drag thumbs to gimp. I can drag to other xnview windows, but fails on gimp. I get the following 3 messages when trying.
Code: Select all
Opening 'file://media/Elements/Backups/H-Drive/Graphics/Anime-Manga%20Graphics/Anime%20Art/%5BSeries%5D/Karas/CoolAnime.jpg' failed:
Could not open 'file://media/Elements/Backups/H-Drive/Graphics/Anime-Manga%20Graphics/Anime%20Art/%5BSeries%5D/Karas/CoolAnime.jpg' for reading: No such file or directory
Calling error for procedure 'file-jpeg-load':
Could not open 'file://media/Elements/Backups/H-Drive/Graphics/Anime-Manga%20Graphics/Anime%20Art/%5BSeries%5D/Karas/CoolAnime.jpg' for reading: No such file or directory
I can drag from other programs to gimp, so I'm pretty certain the problem is not there.

I don't know where's the problem. But I find very suspect that %5BSeries%5D chars...
Put your jpegs in a plain-vanilla directory (eg. 'test' in your root) and try to drag the images from there. It works?

Tried from my home folder 1 level deep. No special characters or spaces in path or filename.

Not at home for the weekend but I could always drag from my file manager Thunar and from Chrome or Opera browsers without a problem.

Inkscape:
Code: Select all
Failed to load the requested file /My-Media/Anime/Karas/logoHD2.png
I can drag to chrome browser and thunar though.
Gimp & Inkscape are usually the only programs I'm dragging pictures to.
I did some more investigating and it seems it might be related to the
setPathname variable...
For home folders it uses a single forward slash:
Code: Select all
setPathname </home/akovia/Pictures/Funny/>
For any drives under media it uses double forward slashes:
It was failing under home folders last time I checked, but now it's working every time. Even with filenames that include spaces, but it has never worked for any file under my
/media directory.
Let me know if you want my full command line log with it working and failing in the different directories.

Thanks for checking but I can't imagine what could be wrong with my system. I can drag just fine into gimp from other image programs.

gwenview

Is there any debugging procedures you can recommend? I really want to get this working if at all possible.
