Calibre fails to open pdf. xdg-open problem ?

Post by iainrs »

Since upgrading to 17.2 xfce I cannot open pdf books in Calibre

Code: Select all

Failed to open "/home/xxx/Calibre%20Library/Unknown/Book%20of%20GIMP(pdf)%20(68)/Book%20of%20GIMP(pdf)%20-%20Unknown.pdf".
The pdf opens quite happily in Evince.

Looking round I found :
https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=23502.0
Topic: [SOLVED]Bug: xdg-open failed to unquote %20 in xfce

which puts the blame on xdg-open.
The Workaround code given is not applicable to my system

Has anyone else found this (or a cure) ?
