integrated beagle-search-results broken

[Leon van der Ree]

Binary package hint: deskbar-applet

results returned by the beagle-live plugin have corrupt urls:

A pdf for example shows up with this url in evince: 'file://file%3A///home/leon/PDFs/pdf-doc.pdf'

or an open office document:
 "/file:/media/leon"
not really complete, as you can see....

Thank you for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use?

[Leon van der Ree (lvanderree)]

Feisty

Confirming given the duplicate and the fact I can reproduce it myself.

I think I've the same problem with web URLs: when I search a web page indexed with Beagle Firefox extension, deskbar gives me the correcr URL, for example "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=414762". If I click it the URL opened by the browser is "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php%3Ft=414762" giving me a "page not found" error.

I'm using Feisty (stable version).

Thanks in advance.

It appears that the problem is in /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/handlers/beagle-live.py. On line 106, "file://" is added to the beginning of the path returned by Beagle. The paths already begin with "file://", so the result is a path like "file://file//home/user/pdf-doc.pdf".

I have made a copy of that file in ~/.gnome2/deskbar-applet/handlers/ and changed line 106 to:
  "action": lambda d: url_show_file(d["uri"]),

I also changed the name on line 63 to "Beagle Live (My Copy)" so it can be distinguished from the original in Deskbar Preferences. This step would not be necessary if you modify the original copy instead.

After removing and re-adding the applet, then choosing the new copy of Beagle Live in Preferences, the search results now work properly!

Kevin, this unfortunately re-opens another bug.
But changing the line to:

  "action": lambda d: url_show(d["uri"]),

seems to work fine. File names containing spaces work as well as file names containing unicode characters.

Thank you Kevin Mehall for finding the redundancy bug and Rudiger Diedrich for the enhanced fix. It works perfectly now!!

The bug should be fixed in gutsy, closing, feel free to reopen if you still get the issue though
