Bug ID: 445833
Summary: custom hotkey command with "~" in path does not work
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: g...@netcologne.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have placed a command in my ~/bin/ directory and wanted to configure a hotkey
to execute this command with a parameter. So I configured the command/URL like
"~/bin/foo --bla". When invoking the hotkey I have got an error requester that
the command "/home/gert/bin/foo --bla" could not be executed: "Unable to run
the command specified. The file or folder "/home/gert/bin/foo --bla" does not
exist. So the "~" was correctly expanded but somehow not correctly executed.
When changing the "~" to "/home/gert" everything did work fine.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Place a programm in ~/bin/. E.g. a symlink: ln -s /usr/bin/xeyes ~/bin/
2. Create a custom hotkey to envoke the command: ~/bin/xeyes -distance
3. Press the hotkey
OBSERVED RESULT
The mentioned error requester occurs.
EXPECTED RESULT
xeyes should open
4. Now change the command to: /home/XXX/bin/xeyes -distance
(Where XXX is your user's home directory)
=> The hotkey does work
