Dooble releases-Qt6
Paul Smedley:
<sigh> build stops regenerating .gn files and trying to work out what's going on, git diff is giving a SIGSEGV. Why is everything so hard?

In Ancient Times folk would have said something like, "God is testing you for a Great Task, so go with it." These days, dunno. Maybe you're due to have one of those life-rebooting Road To Damascus Warpstock experiences in due course.

There is a long standing bug in Dooble on OS/2 where if you try to open an HTML file, it always says 'Your file couldn't be accessed' even though you just clicked on it. However, if that file is on your %UNIXROOT% drive (say C:), and you remove 'C:' from the address bar with that file name on it, the file is displayed. If it is not on the %UNIXROOT% drive, removing, say 'D:' does not help and can not be displayed.
The implication is the code is using a Linux standard to find the file (no drive letters) so it works this way only on the %UNIXROOT% drive. But the Windows version of Dooble does use drive letters and it does work, so it seems there must be a code path available to use drive letters when displaying files if needed.
Are you familiar with this? Has it been looked at in the past? The reason it is important to me is I would like to use Dooble to display e-mail messages from PMMail, but it doesn't work because PMMail is not on %UNIXROOT% so even removing the drive letter doesn't help in that case. Seems like there should be a straight forward solution to this, if the proper code was identified...

I vaguely remember that Dmitry already had a fix in place that went into a test version of one of the Qt5 DLLs. I just cannot remember which one that was ...

Hey, thanks everyone for looking into this bug. Too bad it isn't as straight forward as I hoped. I have other QT apps (like Scribus) that handle drive letters just fine, but I guess the QT Webengine complicates everything. Unless Lars' recollection leads to a solution, I'll probably just break down and move PMMail to %UNIXROOT% and delete the drive letter when I need to see HTML emails (usually for paying bills)...

Thanks for the tip.

This may have been applied by Dmitry after I created my diffs... I certainly don't have it in my branch...
