Open Image in external Viewer

[ThomasSeeker]

Hey there,

I'm trying to open images in Gwenview with an App Launcher. This command works some of the time:

curl "{searchTerms}" -o /tmp/image & gwenview /tmp/image

But it doesn't work on some images, e.g. here: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/sattelstuetze-rs-lite-concept-rs-bikes-31-4mm/2792055486-217-9294

What is causing the command to fail on the example image?

The url to the actual image is https://img.kleinanzeigen.de/api/v1/prod-ads/images/2f/2fae58c4-5ec9-4fe5-8a9f-5e4252dc27dc?rule=$_59.JPG and I think the dollar sign ($) may be causing problems in a terminal command

I'm trying to figure out if the problem is with this addon or not. I'll let you know.

Thank you ssborbis!

I tried to only grab the url of the image via:

echo "{searchTerms}" > /home/user/file

The result is:

https://img.kleinanzeigen.de/api/v1/prod-ads/images/2f/2fae58c4-5ec9-4fe5-8a9f-5e4252dc27dc?rule=.JPG

This url does not even work in the browser. Whereas the slightly different url you shared, works at least in the browser. And if I escape the dollar sign ($) it even works with gwenview. ... How did you get your url?

[ssborbis]

The problem appears to be with python. Apparently dollar signs ($) are special characters in python strings. The latest ContextSearch.py corrects this, and has some additional improvements ( maybe ) . Try clicking the gear icon in the edit modal for your native app engine to update to v2.20.

Thank you so much, ssborbis!

Now it works beautifully!

No problem The python code hasn't been thoroughly tested (obviously) so if you notice any weirdness with launching other apps, let me know.

[ThomasSeeker]

I gladly will!

In my early linux-days I was very hesitant to report bugs etc. And even these days it is kind of hard for me to wrap my head around the idea, that my complaining is not a burden, but actually of help for a project.

:-D
