Sunflower and Gedit
Hello. Sorry for my English. I use Sunflower and Gedit as a text editor. When I open any .txt, .html, and other files that are processed through Gedit by double-clicking, Gedit show the error "Failed to process e ~ / text.txt". But when I use Nemo, all works. OS - Archlinux.
Hi,
Thanks for reporting this issue. Can you please take a screen show of error message?

Sorry, russian localisation.
Just in case, translation:
"Could not open file /home/safron/bookmarks"
"Unable to process this address"
Did you configure your editor manually trough preferences?

This is really strange. Sunflower uses GIO do detect applications and way to open them. Did you press F4 to edit or right clicked and then selected GEdit from the list?
this bug again around schema in local provider. Look on this line https://github.com/MeanEYE/Sunflower/blob/develop/application/associations.py#L212 Sunflower send paths without schema. Some apps can recognize this and run normally. For gedit gio send uris via dbus and gedit cant open it witout schema. So i suggest dont use lauch_uris or append 'file://' for local paths
Hm. We can't keep adding and removing schema around the code like this. Perhaps we should create provider method that does this for us. After all each provider knows its own schema and formatting.
I experience this issue on Debian Jessie Stable. What is weird that files opened by pressing F4 (Edit) work fine in gedit, but run by double clicking cause the above error.
@MeanEYE This issue probably was fixed by migrating to GTK3, as I cannot reproduce it in latest develop version.
It's not fixed @joshas just hard to reproduce. It revolves around how applications specify they want file path in. GIO applications usually use %U or similar thing and expect full URI in form of file:///home/.../.../file.txt. While some applications just ask for regular relative of absolute paths without schema. Issue comes from URI which requires URL escaped string, but Sunflower half-supports this. We do handle schemas but not uniformly in all parts of the code.
At first this was to avoid parsing and messing with path and needlessly make slower code but it has cause many issues since. Best approach would be to universally support it everywhere and treat every path as URI. For that, we need to modify providers and few key functions which deal with paths.
