Description Tom Whipple 2006-06-06 11:25:32 UTC

When the xdg-file-dialog util is run as documented, we get the following error:

tw@linux:~> xdg-file-dialog --openfilename --title 'my title' 
Unkown command my title

This happens for all four types of dialog.

The command works when --title precedes --openfilename. Options should work in
any order.


Environment: Suse 10.0; Gnome 2.12.0

I instead get the following error:

  my title:  Invalid parameter/option

But if I run with ./xdg-file-dialog openfilename --title 'my title' things
appear to work as expected.

gentoo w/ kde 3.5.3

Syntax has changed from
    xdg-file-dialog --openfilename --title 'my title'
to
    xdg-file-dialog openfilename --title 'my title'

Error message was wrong though (Fixed in CVS)

Options (like --title) may currently not precede the command (openfilename)

Considered fixed
