http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=998136 Bug ID: 998136 Summary: gedit cannot open file if path contains colon ':' Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME Assignee: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: rdodopoulos@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Reproducer (file) -----------------
# echo "hello" > my\:file.txt # cat my\:file.txt hello # gedit my\:file.txt
** (gedit:10942): WARNING **: The specified location is not supported
Neither single nor double quotes work. Also, the same happens if the colon is in the directory instead of the filename (gedit tmp\:dir/file.txt fails). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
