Openshot 1.0 opens twice

[sfantu]

If i have a instance of open shot open and i right-click a folder or a group of pictures and select open with open-shot .. the action will add the files to the first instance of openshot and open another one with the files added as well .

[Jonathan Thomas (jonoomph)]

Very strange. Can anyone else confirm this behavior?

[Daniel Ellis (danellisuk)]

Confirmed on Ubuntu 9.10 UNR with OpenShot 1.0.0. Start OpenShot, browse using nautilus to Videos folder, right click on a video file and open with "OpenShot". A second instance of OpenShot is started and the video is added to both instances.

what have you in the terminal ?
And could you post the result of this command (just to see) :
ps -x
Thanks
(Heu just a stupid question : what is UNR ? )
What your version 32 or 64 bits ?
How have you installed Openshot , deb or ppa ?

okay i want severals things; Could you reproduce this bug. If yes, do it and when it's done, open a window and type the command ps -x and post it. After, you should see , normaly, two instances of openshot. Kill one by this :
kill PID (pid is the number of the software to stop for exemple for you pidgin kill 2214) and say us what's happen and the new ps -x.
Thanks.

[Daniel Ellis (danellisuk)]

Hi cenwen, I will attempt to answer your questions. UNR is Ubuntu Netbook remix, it is 32bit (it does not come in the 64bit variety). It is basically Ubuntu desktop but tweaked for netbooks, mostly to do with the smaller display size. It is an official Ubuntu version and is available from the Ubuntu home page.

My test is using OpenShot 1.0.0 from the ppa.

Here, I start openshot from the terminal:-

$ openshot
Added /usr/share/openshot to system path
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.0.0)
--------------------------------
/usr/share/openshot/windows/SimpleGladeApp.py:340: GtkWarning: gtk_toolbar_set_icon_size: assertion `icon_size != GTK_ICON_SIZE_INVALID' failed
  return gtk.glade.XML(self.glade_path, root, domain)
A new frmMain has been created

Then run ps -x to show the PID:-

$ ps -x | grep "openshot"
Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
 2820 pts/0 Sl+ 0:13 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/openshot
 2869 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto openshot

I then browse to my Videos folder and right click on a video file (TestNtsc.vob) and select "Open With > OpenShot Video Editor". Another OpenShot instance is started and the video file has been added to both OpenShot instances.

Here is the output of ps:-

$ ps -x | grep "openshot"
Warning: bad ps syntax, perhaps a bogus '-'? See http://procps.sf.net/faq.html
 2820 pts/0 Sl+ 0:14 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/openshot
 2902 ? Sl 0:13 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/openshot /home/daniel/Videos/TestNtsc.vob
 2924 pts/1 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto openshot

I then kill the second instance as you requested:-

$ kill 2902

The second instance is closed as expected, the first instance continues to work fine. I am not sure what that test shows though.

[Olivier Girard (eolinwen)]

Hi Daniel
Thanks for all (explication UNR, tests, commands,..).
I have tried to reproduce it with severals type of files (flv, mov, avi, dv) but i can't, only one Openshot is open.
Strangely, with a mpg file it had been added at the first project and when i have closed the second, he is stay.
Only this file and i know that we have some problems (white output) with this type of files and the cause is MLT so i'm thinking that but i'm not sure.
For the moment, i have none solution. Jonathan i confirm this.

[Daniel Ellis (danellisuk)]

I have now tested this on my desktop machine (Ubuntu Desktop 64bit) to confirm that it was not an issue to do with Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I have reproduced the issue with the following file types: vob, flv, xvid, mpeg.

[Olivier Girard (eolinwen)]

flv and xvid too ? Strange i've reproduced it with mpeg but it's works fine, for me, flv and xvid.
Thanks to have checked if it was an issue own UNR :)

[moimael (moimael)]

I confirm this bug with an .ogv file. And for me (version 1.1.2), the second instance of openshot doesnt load fully but crash.

[Jonathan Thomas (jonoomph)]

I have finally reproduced this bug. Currently, it's not possible to open files with nautilus, since it freezes up OpenShot. This will be fixed very soon. =)
