    I am running Mepis 11 with KDE and I have set up the menu item for UEX to load any files I select and right click via the following command:

    Code: Select all

    uex -- %f
    This does not work there, nor does it work from the command prompt when feeding it a literal file. I generally have to drag and drop the files into UEX unless I want to go through the open dialog box.

    Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

    I had previously tried "uex %f", "uex %F", "uex %U".

    The last parameter is what Kate and KWrite uses.

    I got the idea to use "--" from UltraEdit for Linux Command Line Support

    I'll keep trying to get it working.

    Thanks.

      Solved!

      With the help of Troy from IDM, I found the issue.

      I had used the IDM page instructions except that I installed to /usr/local/uex/ and created the new uex file in /usr/local/bin/.

      Instead of the suggested uex shell script file contents:

      Code: Select all

      #!/bin/sh
export UEXROOT=/usr/local/uex/uex_2.3.0.9
$UEXROOT/bin/uex.bin
      I read the bash shell scripting manual and changed the above to this:

      Code: Select all

      #!/bin/bash
export UEXROOT=/usr/local/uex/uex_2.3.0.9
$UEXROOT/bin/uex.bin $@
      I was missing the $@ for any parameters that I pass to UEX.
