Subject: bug#19141: Emacs 24.4: ShellExecute fails in one case under Windows 7
Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 12:30:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <11076914.28ELNyjCxI@linux-4qrv.site> (raw)
Windows 7, Emacs 24.4 from GNU, cmd.exe, `emacs -Q`
I opened this file in Emacs from a local HDD "shell-bug.org":
============================
#+LINK: foo //SBS2011/Emacs/%s
#+LINK: fuu C:/texlive/%s
#+LINK: faa u:/Emacs/%s
* A Heading
This is an orgmode file. Such files can contain links. We have to make
a difference between links to files, which can be opened by Emacs and
files, which have to be opened with a browser or a pdf viewer.
What works:
[[fuu:baz.pdf]] - a link to a local file, which has to be opened in a pdf
viewer, using an abbrevation for the path.
[[faa:baz.pdf]] -- a link to a file on the server (SBS 2011), using an
abbrevation for the path.
[[file://SBS2011/Emacs/baz.tex]] -- a link to a file on the server, using
a share name, but no abbrevation for the path.
[[foo:baz.tex]] -- a link to a file on the server, using an abbrevation
for the share name and the path, but the file will be opened in Emacs.
WHAT DOESN'T WORK:
[[foo:baz.pdf]] -- a link to a file on the server, using an abbrevation
for the share name and the path, but the file will be opened in a PDF
viewer.
[[foo:baz.html]] -- same case, but html file, which should be opened with
firefox.
===========================
If I put the cursor on one of the links below the line "WHAT DOESN'T
WORK" and try to open it (C-c C-l), I expect that Emacs opens the file
with -- depending on the file type -- a pdf viewer or a browser.
But I get an error message, see below ("ShellExecute failed:...") => file
can not be found.
This used to work with Emacs 24.3. The share //SBS2011/Emacs and
U:/Emacs are the same folder on the server.
tl;dr: ShellExecute fails, if
1. the path uses an abbrevation for the file name +
2. the abbrevation contains a share name +
3. the file has to be opened with an external software
This used to work under Emacs 24.3
