Control Click > Open with Stanza is broken after Snow Leopard update?

Mon, 08/31/2009 - 07:49 — Anonymous

After upgrading to Snow Leopard I have lost the ability to right click a pdf and choose open with Stanza. Stanza comes back with a message that the file doesn't exist. I can open the same file in any other pdf viewer. Dragging the file to Stanza in the dock does the same thing. Is this a Snow Leopard problem?

Doesn't work for unicode filenames

I'm having trouble to open files with unicode (Chinese) filename under Snow Leopard, either CTRL-Click the file from Finder or type "open xxx.epub" in terminal (where xxx is a chinese string). However, it works fine with Leopard.

BTW. The Stanza version I am using is 1.00-beta 18

Odd. If you change just the filename to be something with ASCII characters, does it open? Can you let us know what the name of the file was?

It works fine when the filename contains only ASCII characters. I have tried several different filenames with chinese characters, none them works. Here is one of the example strings without .epub suffix, 中文 ("\xe4\xb8\xad\xe6\x96\x87" in UTF-8).

Still an issue

I downloaded the newest version yesterday, and still can't drag the file icon to the dock Stanza icon to open the file - which is by far the most convenient for me.

Problems solved

Downloaded the new version. Everything seems to work fine now. Thanks for your fast handling of this!
Just one more question, there are some minor bugs here and there (iPhone and Desktop version), where do I report them?
And, how to suggest improvements, is there a place for that somewhere?

The best place for feature

The best place for feature suggestions is http://www.lexcycle.com/forums/stanza/iphone_feature_requests. We frequently poll that thread for ideas of new features to add to future releases.

As for bug reports, the best option is to post a new thread to http://www.lexcycle.com/forum/stanza (although you may want to first search through the forums to make sure it is not already a known issue).

Bugs

Hi there Stanza team. These bugs (problems with open files from Finder and visible system files in Open dialog) are they recognized bugs by you? Should I open a ticket somewhere?

Yes, it is a known problem.

Yes, it is a known problem. We are working on releasing a version that fixes it.

Snow Leopard problems

I tried to open a book from Finder by clicking it and also got the message:

Could not open file Users/XXXXXX/XXXXXXX Download E%XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXX...etc. The file does not exist

I can however open the book by choosing "Open" in the menu but I can also see hidden and system files in the "open dialog" and that can not be right.

Seems to be a Snow Leopard Issue

I am getting a similar error when opening some books from their ePub icon.
Opening from within the Stanza app loads them with no problem.

It is not just spaces in the file names that causes an issue-spaces in the file path also will cause an error message, as will a file path that is too many characters long, with or without spaces.

same issue here

I have the same problem, as eregory said, if the file has no spaces in the name Stanza open it correctly, but if it has spaces we get the error "The File Does Not Exist.
This is quite annoying, i hope you can resolve this issue soon.

Same Problem

I know it's free software (and I love it), but it's not been a secret for some months that Snow Leopard is coming, and developer copies have been pretty easy to come by.

Like Plin, when I double-click the file in the Finder, I get the "file does not exist" problem, but when I choose the file from the File->Open menu, it works fine. That may be the solution to Anonymous' PDF problem as well.

In a different vein, for the last couple weeks I've been unable to open shared books from my MacBook unless I first disabled the firewall, which was very irritating. But something in Snow Leopard fixed that.

We haven't yet tested Stanza

We haven't yet tested Stanza with Snow Leopard, so I'm not sure if that is the cause of the issue. If you select File->Open from within Stanza to open the file, does it open, or do you get the same error?

Tue, 09/01/2009 - 21:18 — eregory

The problem seems to be related to spaces in the file name.

I can open files using rt-click "Open with... Stanz" as long as there are no spaces in the file name. It appears that there is some new form of URL encoding going on as the error message has a %20 wherever the space would be.

For example: "bova.azw" opens fine, but "bova copy.azw" gets the error message "Could not open the file /Users/me/Desktop/bova%20copy.azw".

Also longer names with spaces seem to have garbled chars at the end of the error message file name.

Same problem

Same problem here. Running Snow Leopard. After installation, when double click on the file, Stanza returns error message (Could not open file Users/XXXXXX/XXXXXXX Download E%XXXXXXXX/XXXXXXX...etc. The file does not exist). When open the file physically in Stanza, then the file appears to be okay.
