Description

See subject, while it has been working with me, now I do not get the 'File Explorer' opened anymore here on Debian Testing.

In my terminal it says:

This tool has been deprecated, use 'gio open' instead.
See 'gio help open' for more info.

Not sure if this is Qt Related, or OS related:

History

#1 Updated by Nyall Dawson about 7 years ago

It must be an upstream/distro issue -we just call a standard qt method for opening folders. Does the open project folder button in project properties work for you?

#2 Updated by Richard Duivenvoorde about 7 years ago

Nope, same message...

Same msg when I do it in the Python console:

QDesktopServices.openUrl(QUrl('/tmp'))
or
QDesktopServices.openUrl(QUrl('file:///tmp'))

Mmm, a true url is working:

QDesktopServices.openUrl(QUrl('http://qgis.org'))

Will google for Debian/Qt issues.

#3 Updated by Bas Couwenberg about 7 years ago

According to the docs you should use:

QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl::fromLocalFile('/tmp'));

#4 Updated by Richard Duivenvoorde about 7 years ago

  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from Open to Closed

Ok, after a restart all is working again :-(

Apparently a hickup of the Qt/Desktop glue after an apt update.

Sorry for the fuzz

fyi: either use, both work:
QDesktopServices.openUrl(QUrl('file:///tmp'))
or
QDesktopServices.openUrl(QUrl.fromLocalFile('/tmp'))
