I’m running a Lucid desktop, but with UNE as the interface.<\/p>\n
In UNIX, the tilde character ~ usually refers to the user’s home directory. However, the run dialog doesn’t seem to support this.<\/p>\n
Steps to reproduce:<\/p>\n
1. In a terminal:
\n$ echo ”hello” > ~\/foo
\n$ cat ~\/foo
\nhello<\/p>\n
2. Press Alt+F2 to bring up the run dialog. Enter:
\ngedit ~\/foo<\/p>\n
Expected result: have ~\/foo open in gedit with the content ”hello”.<\/p>\n
Actual result: a file called foo opens, but it’s empty and obviously not the one created. From gedit’s title I’m guessing the run dialog passes ~ as the name of a directory residing within the actual ~, user’s home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
