| Summary | 0007350: on os x the preferences contain paths to files in the application bundle | ||||
| Description | if you move the app from the location where it has been started for the first time, some of the preferences in ~/.scribusrc keep on pointing to that location. the xml descriptions for the rendering frame are concerned by this bug. | ||||
| Additional Information | on most system, this is really not a problem. but on os x, scribus is located in a virtual disk, from which you can run it. it's a bad habit, i know it. but many users will first try the app when it's still on the virtual disk and copy it afterwards in the applications folder. and i don't think that we can expect from a mac user, that he likes to delete her .scribusrc folder :-) | ||||

|
So, suggestions on ways to handle it? |
|
|
if scribus can't find the xml files at the location specified in the preferences, it could try to find them in the same location, but relative to the current instance of scribus. a notice / confirmation to the user may be optional. this would also enable us to run scribus from a usb stick :-) |
|
|
Assigning to Herm to fix the references to the latexconfig options for xml file locations to be relative to the share directory |
|
|
Could you provide examples of the path before and after moving the file? I'm not a mac user and therefore can't test it on my own. |

Herm, eg, I have: <LatexConfig command="" file="/Users/craig/Applications/ScribusIntel.app/Contents/share/scribus//editorconfig/100_latex.xml" /> <LatexConfig command="" file="/Users/craig/Applications/ScribusIntel.app/Contents/share/scribus//editorconfig/200_gnuplot.xml" /> <LatexConfig command="" file="/Users/craig/Applications/ScribusIntel.app/Contents/share/scribus//editorconfig/300_lilypond.xml" /> <LatexConfig command="" file="/Users/craig/Applications/ScribusIntel.app/Contents/share/scribus//editorconfig/400_dot.xml" /> <LatexConfig command="" file="/Users/craig/Applications/ScribusIntel.app/Contents/share/scribus//editorconfig/500_povray.xml" /> but if I move the application from my applications dir to a Desktop/test directory, then the preferences would have to be: <LatexConfig command="" file="/Users/craig/Desktop/test/ScribusIntel.app/Contents/share/scribus//editorconfig/100_latex.xml" /> <LatexConfig command="" file="/Users/craig/Desktop/test/ScribusIntel.app/Contents/share/scribus//editorconfig/200_gnuplot.xml" /> <LatexConfig command="" file="/Users/craig/Desktop/test/ScribusIntel.app/Contents/share/scribus//editorconfig/300_lilypond.xml" /> <LatexConfig command="" file="/Users/craig/Desktop/test/ScribusIntel.app/Contents/share/scribus//editorconfig/400_dot.xml" /> <LatexConfig command="" file="/Users/craig/Desktop/test/ScribusIntel.app/Contents/share/scribus//editorconfig/500_povray.xml" /> or just not use absolute paths Craig |

Fixed in r13404. Only the filename but no longer the pathname is stored for the default config-files. |
