I have updated the dbus-switchboard to version 1.2.4 in first post and repo.
I fixed case sensitivity, xmms handler, added debian java handlers, added FBReader support for certain ebook formats, and a few others. Also changed the 'temp' directory for Antiword->PDF and debian apps to /home/user/MyDocs for easier cleanup.
Additionally i reworked the filename/parameter system since i found one format would not work for all programs. Simple summary, continue to use %params% unless that doesnt work, then try %params2%
Advanced users: I have added more diagnostic messages when you run dbus-switchboard.py from xterm... where you can see what each of four filename parameters would evaluate to (params, params2, realparams, and realparams2), as well as the actual launch command.
This is probably overkill but for those who use this i wanted to leave open all options :
- Both params and params2 will force hex encodings for troublesome characters.
- %params% also forces file:// format, where params2 and realparams2 force volume format (/media/mm2/myfile.doc).
- realparams2 has no fixup.
- realparams and realparams2 both will probably require you add quotes around them to handle spaces, etc
