Uh... I checked the strace log (thanks to David for providing it), and it's the index file that can't be opened. With a name like "stargate.2008-02-28.23://./31:02.mpg.idx" one probably had to expect that. ;-)
After a little digging I found out that it's the file dialog that causes problems. It treats the starting directory as an URL, and the stupid parser thinks that everything up to the first colon is an access method. That alone would have been easy to fix by prepending "file:" to the filename passed to QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(), but there's another Qt "feature" that prevents the dialog from entering the right directory and selecting the file: the filename portion of the path is treated as an URL *again*, but this time it's done inside QFileDialog which we can't change. Therefore, I had to work around the stupidity of the Qtrolls. I hope this doesn't break the Windows port... Apropos: my "A:B.mpg" test worked fine because Qt thought the "A" were a drive letter. Yeah, it's that dumb. How was that ancient Chinese curse again? "May you live in interesting times!" Anyway, welcome to r118 (there also was r117 but it only added some beauty patches that were not worth mentioning ;-). -- Michael "Tired" Riepe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
