cannot open file with lxterminal -e vim

Post by smellsource »

Hello, I'd like to make vim my default application for text files (so that I can launch it from PCManFM), but I'm running into trouble. I hope someone here can help!
lxterminal -e vim
works as expected, but
lxterminal -e "vim ~/blah.txt"
does not open blah.txt

Thanks.

Hi

It should work, but seems to be buggy. Please try "--command" as option. You also can try the latest svn version.
