Transmission-gtk: "Open Folder" opens Gwenview instead of... (Solved)

This might be a silly question.
I'm running KDEmod. I recently switched from vuze to transmission-gtk, and when I click on "Open Folder" in the context menu of a torrent, the folder opens in Gwenview instead of Dolphin. There's nothing in Preferences about pointing to a file manager, so I'm stumped.

To answer your question, I get a "Launch Application" window allowing me to choose which application with which to open it, and giving me the option to have my choice be remembered by the system.
However, your solution worked
Now I just have to figure out how to get Firefox to handle file links properly without bringing up the annoying window--or decide whether or not to make the effort.
EDIT: Scratch that . . . it just took some playing around in Preferences. Now, no more annoying dialogue box

Gvfs-open $file opens nautilus instead of the file

Hi. This happened after some pacman -Suy, but I noticed just now.
gvfs-open, xdg-open, clicking on a downloaded file in Firefox or transmission-gtk opens a containing directory in nautilus and highlights the file instead of opening it.
Clicking the file in Nautilus does open the file.

So you just plugged your external drive iwith the library into the new computer?
Then it may be a permissions problem. Are you using the same user name as previously for your user account?
Do you have the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag enabled? If not, try this to avoid permission problems. You set the flag from the "File > Get Info" panel for the drive.
When the permissions on the drive are set correctly, use Aperture's First Aid Tools to repair the permissions in the library.
See: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Also check, if the drive has the correct formatting - MacOS Extended (Journaled)
If the filesystem should be wrong, you need to reformat the drive with Disk Utility, but that requires to remove the library to a different drive, because reformatting will erase the drive.

Hi there Br0x,
You may want to try rebuilding the iTunes library as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Transmission-gtk fails to open new torrents properly

Using transmission-gtk and transmission-cli on both 2.22-1 and 2.22-3 I receive a "Transmission is already running" error when trying to add a new torrent when the client is already running. The default application is set to use transmission-gtk and it happens with every new torrent that I add. Reverting back to 2.21-3 resolves this issue and new torrents open properly. Any ideas, possible bug?

GNOME nautilus 2.32.2.1
transmission depends:
curl : 7.21.4-2
libevent : 2.0.10-1
libnotify: 0.7.1-1.1

"Preview this File" Does Nothing + Blinding GTK+ open file dialogs...

...I have two problems in KDEMod4...did anyone have these problems and how do you fix them?
Right clicking a file and clicking "Preview this File" does nothing...including folder views, Konqueror, and Dolphin.
GTK+ open file dialogs alternate between the normal background for my text box and blindingly white background.

Hi,
I also have the same problem, but with my JNI and C++ expertise, I was able to isolate the problem.
My platform:
- Microsoft Windows XP, Family Edition (French), Version 2002, Service Pack 3
- JRE 1.6.0_21
In the source of the JDK6 (Src/windows/classes/sun/awt/windows/WDesktopPeer.java), the Desktop.open(file) calls the native method
ShellExecute(*uri.toString()*, "open")
For example, if you try to open "c:\helloworld.pdf",
uri.toString() = "*file:/c:/helloworld.pdf*"if I call ShellExecute("C:\\helloworld.pdf", "open"), it works
but if I call ShellExecute(" file:/c:/helloworld.pdf", "open"), it doesn't work on my platform.
In both case, the ShellExecuteW or ShellExecuteA function of the Windows API return the integer 42 (> 32), saying that the functions succeeded. If the file object is not correct, the function should return a value <= 32.
=> The bug is not due to Java implementation, but to a bug in the Windows API.
Other remark:
I also tried the "ShellExec_RunDLL" entry point of the Shell32.dll library using RunDll32 utility. Both commands below are running correctly:
rundll32 SHELL32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL "C:\hello.pdf"
rundll32 SHELL32.DLL,ShellExec_RunDLL "file:/C:/hello.pdf"My conclusion:
1) A workaround could be implemented in the JRE: use the file path without the "file:/" protocol prefix.
2) This bug seems to be present only one some version of Windows XP (to confirm).

Firefox does not open, but instead gives the error message, "Failed to read the configuration file." It has worked in the past, but not now.

I REINSTALL 10 TIMES SO DON'T TELL ME THAT!!!
I'm piss because i need firefox working again so i can finish reseaching my speech in 5 days.

Which files do you have in the defaults\pref folder in the Firefox program folder?
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
See also "Other solutions":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 22.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

How can I remove viruses off my computer? I have mac OS X, but I clicked on a website on google and it didn't open. Instead the security program popped up and said that my computer is at risk of a crash and has detected several viruses!?!?! AAAAHHH!?!?!

It's probably the MacDefender scareware trojan horse. If you have this here is how to remove it.
1. Open Activity Monitor look for MacDefender process double click on it and hit quit or force quit.
2. Go to System Preferences, Go to accounts, Go to login items look for anything related to MacDefender hightlight it by clcking on it once. Then hit the minus sign to remove it.
3. Go to applications folder and drag MacDefender to the trash.
4. Open finder and do a search for Macdefender and remove anything you see related to MacDefender.
5. Open Spotlight (the little magnyfing glass in the menubar far right corner) and do a search for MacDefender.
6. Restart your computer and empty trash.
7. If you feel you need to have virus protection for your Mac use ClamXav. It's the recommended AV program for MacOSX. Hope this helps.

I click a link but it doesn't open. Instead I get a popup saying "Open the link in a new window," "Open link in a new tab," etc. How can I kill this popup or whatever it is forever?

That happens if the server sends the file as text/plain.
You can see this if you open "Tools > Page Info > General": Content-Type: text/plain
Files send this way will always open in a tab.

When I connect my iPhone, iPhoto opens automatically instead of iTunes

When I connect my Iphone to my MBPro running Snow Leopard, Iphoto opens automatically instead of Itunes. When I manually open Itunes, my Iphone appears in the sidebar as normal, nut how can I change the settings so that Itunes is the default open program for syncing?
thanks
Doug

If you don't want iphoto to launch, open the image capture app, & under preferences select what you want to happen when a camera is connected. iPhoto will only launch if you have pics in your camera roll.
When your phone is connected, on the summary page there will be an option to check to open iTunes automatically when iPhone connects.

Muse Accordion tab - opening up instead of down.

I have a working accordion widget with about 10 tabs.
Suddenly noticed that two of the tabs are opening UP instead of DOWN....
meaning that the tab is at the bottom of the open panel instead of at the top as I would prefer.
At one time all were opening DOWN with the title tab at the top of the open panel...
but now those few are different and I dont know what i did and cannot find
a MUSE control for the behavior.
Dreamweaver help articles refer to controls that do not seem available in MUSE.
Any direction appreciated.
Thanks.
MP

Hello,
When you say the tabs are opening up UP instead of DOWN, are you talking about the design view of Muse or in the preview/publishes site?
Could you please provide us a link to your site where we can see the issue?

Sachin
