Kiview doesn't open previews when invoked via shortcut or context menu #7

Closed tam1m closed 5 months ago

I can't get Kiview to work on my machine. It just opens with the message "This name is not activatable".

Tested with v1.0.2 aswell as master (8c2c51b9886fa7b44dfaf9ea82ad0b8f598350dc) built by myself.

I'm not sure how to debug this.

That seems to be a QDBus error message and not one from Kiview specifically.

Try: 1)Open dolphin 2) Press F4 to open the built-in terminal 3) In the terminal write kiview or flatpak run io.github.nyre221.kiview --shortcut

Some more information should appear.

What distribution do you have? Kiview currently uses the system clipboard to take the path from Dolphin and it is possible that some calls are not working. I'm wondering if you have any protection that is blocking QDBus and that's why it's giving that error.

Alright, it is because I had Klipper disabled (via tray settings), since I just don't use it After enabling it Kiview works fine. Didn't realise it depends on klipper.

Kiview will become an official KDE project and there will be no need for these tricks/hacks anymore.

Have a nice day.
