The hash causes syntax errors: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/meld/task.py", line 131, in iteration ret = task() File "/usr/lib/meld/filediff.py", line 671, in _set_files_internal set_highlighting_enabled( self.textview[i].get_buffer(), files[i], self.prefs.use_syntax_highlighting ) File "/usr/lib/meld/filediff.py", line 51, in set_highlighting_enabled mime_type = gnomevfs.get_mime_type( os.path.abspath(fname) ) RuntimeError: there was an error reading the file
At the command line the brackets also need to be escaped but I don't think that is your problem when meld is called from perforce. The hash is most likely the problem. And since it looks like the hash is indicating a version number, you are stuck. Looks like a bug in the function gnomevfs.get_mime_type to me. -- Meld syntax highlighting does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152913 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
