Opening BibTex file (doubleclick) from Folder with spaces not working #6487
Comments
I have the exact same problem. I am also running Windows 10 and have the same behaviour as @MrJoposranchik and @cpsychal. |
Regarding Drag and Drop: I think the Drag and drop listener is installed on the tab bar. That would explain at least the opening of files. Must be probably moved to JabRefFrame or so. |
Doube clicking on a bib file works and opens JabRef fine in the latest development version |
JabRef 5.0--2020-03-06--2e6f433

Doube clicking on a bib file works and opens JabRef fine in the latest development version
@cpsychal <https://github.com/cpsychal> Can you please give us a bit more details, e.g. which OS you are using and if you have tested the latest development version?

The behaviour I experience is that JabRef opens but it gives an error message. One can close this error message and the application does not close, but it does not load the bib file. One then has to go and open the bib file from within JabRef. |
The drag and drop should be fixed by @MootezSaaD now in the latest development version: Edit// I could not reproduce the issue with the double clicking on Windows 10 Please remember to make a backup of your library before trying out the new version. |
I was checking the previous dev version for 5 minutes when a new update appeared. Drag and drop works well now! Thank you, @MootezSaaD ! |
Could you please completey uninstall JabRef and then reinstall the new version? It might that the file asociation is somewhat broken |
I have completely uninstalled JabRef and installed the latest development version at https://builds.jabref.org/master/. This is the behaviour I get now:
|
It seems that we have exactly the same symptoms. However, I didn't try to reinstall from scratch yet. May I kindly ask you to try to place a .bib file on Desktop and open it with double-click to confirm or disprove that Desktop location is somewhat special? |
I tried opening a .bib file directly on the desktop but the behaviour I get is exactly the same as with a .bib file placed elsewhere on the system. So I don't seem to get the special behaviour you described @MrJoposranchik . |
Same issue here. JabRef version 5.0 on Windows 10 Opening .bib files from within JabRef is fine but clicking on a .bib file in Windows Explorer results in a blank page on JabRef. Steps to reproduce the behaviour: double click on a .bib file icon. |
Same issue above |
I have exported my Windows 10 registry settings for the file association and open with application. WARNING: TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK |
Tried that, didn't fix the issue with double-click. |
I think I noticed something important: I hope this info will help to fix the issue! |
Thanks! Indeed that information could be helpful. |
I did a test and got the same behavior as @mr-j-s . If the file path to the ".bib" file has any spaces in it at any point, then when double clicking on the ".bib" file JabRef opens to a blank page, but it does not open the ".bib" file itself. If there are no spaces in the file path. Then JabRef opens the ".bib" file as would be expected. This file path did not work: "D:\New Folder\References.bib" |
I have a space in the path to my desktop which explains why this did not work for me earlier. |
I could reproduce this as well using a space in the folder. I checked the registry,, there the open with is correctly wrapped in spaces. Maybe an issue with our commandline parser |
If the path contains Chinese characters, it will have the same error. |
Same issue. Jabref 5.2 on Windows 10. Cannot open a bib file by double clicking on it when the full path of that file contains spaces. If is is copied to a location with no spaces in the path then it works fine. I hope this bug gets fixed soon as I remember experiencing this annoying behavior of Jabref for quite some time. |
I'm trying to fix this. Got some clues already. |
…h spaces not working (#7551) * Fix #7416 * sync with origin * backtracking file path argument who invoked the method sendMessage(type=SEND_COMMAND_LINE_ARGUMENTS) when double-clicking * fix #6487 (draft) * fix * moved encoding to sendMessage created a new test in RemoteCommunicationTest * move clone to sendMessage
Thanks to @XDZhelheim this should now finally be fixed in the latest development version. Could you please check the build from http://builds.jabref.org/master/. Thanks! Please remember to make a backup of your library before trying-out this version. |

When double click a BibTeX file in the file browser, then JabRef opens with message “File not found”.
The file opens only through the menu of Jabref: File–> Open…
That happens after the last upgrade.
