zeus 3.97i open file from cmdline bug

gwgs · Post by **gwgs** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 10:33 pm

Since the upgrade when i open a file from the cmdline, it opens a blank version of the file. If I open the file with the open dialog it opens correctly

seems to be trying to open up the filenames passed in as if they're located in the root of C: drive, not the current directory where zeus was called from.

so I get C:\test.py instead of d:\source\test.py

also not opening files if wildcard in filename specified

backup files also get written to C:\ even if you provide the path\filename from the cmdline

The command line parsing code was changed to fix a bug reported by another Zeus user. That change introduced this new bug

This bug should be fixed in this beta: http://www.zeusedit.com/z300/ze397j-beta.zip

more information, if you start zeus from the cmdline it gets the filename/path incorrect.

if you call zeus from the cmdline when it is already open, it will open the file correctly
eg:
zeus test.py
doesn't work

zeus
zeus test.py
does work

It is working fine at this end. Make sure you are in fact running the latest beta version.

For example a dir g*.txt of the c:\temp folder results in this output:

Code: Select all

At the c:\temp folder command line prompt this command:

Code: Select all

C:\temp>zeus good.txt

works with or without Zeus running.

Definitely v3.97j beta.
New info:
It works for anything opened on C: drive, but not for files opened on any other drive

eg:
C:\python27\readme.txt works
D:\pythonsource\readme.txt doesn't, just opens a blank file of C:\readme.txt

Hope this helps
