[pkg-lxqt-devel] Bug#1034067: PCManFM-Qt is not using "x-terminal-emulator" from Debian Alternatives System

[Julien ROBIN]

Package: pcmanfm-qt
Version: 1.2.1-1
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: julien.robin28 at free.fr

Hello,

After having removed "qterminal" and replaced it by "lxterminal" for some
reason (bad handling of line splits when resizing), PCManFM-Qt was still trying
to open "qterminal" when pressing F4 or "Open in terminal", giving a "Failed to
execute child process" error.

It turns out Edit > Preferences > Advanced is allowing to manually replace this
behavior, but would it be a good idea to use "x-terminal-emulator" by default?
This would avoid users the need to repair PCManFM-Qt configuration when using
anything else than "qterminal", based on which one is the default one, using
the "Debian Alternatives System".

For now this is what I've done and it seems to works (at least with lxterminal,
but it also works when going back to qterminal as x-terminal-emulator).

Hoping this idea may help,

Best regards,

Julien ROBIN
