[SOLVED]:fluxbox+foobar+wine:scans home directory, wrong

[Flemur]

Howdy -

Every time I start foobar (via wine), it apparently scans my home directory, even including the "trash", and lists the media files in the default playlist.

It's not "supposed to", and AFAIK, didn't do so in the past. While it's doing this a small window pops up too quickly to read (looks like it says "scanning", not an error).

The sound "library" is set to two directories in another parition, NOT the home directory.

Any idea how to get foobar to only look for multimedia files in the defined library, and not anywhere else?

I discovered that fluxbox causes this problem: starting from command line ("foobar") or from thunar "Open WIth foobar" on a file, it works fine; when I start it with a fluxbox key-mapping, it scans the home directory.

Starting from thunar/"Open With" mp3 file:

$ ps -ef | grep foobar
... 2293 1 0 14:26 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /home/me/bin/foobar /home/me/Downloads/Bo_Diddley--LV--Old_Smokey.mp3
... 2300 2293 6 14:26 ? 00:00:00 c:\Pgms\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe Z:\home\me\Downloads\Bo_Diddley--LV--Old_Smokey.mp3

Starting from fluxbox (line in file "keys": "87 :Exec foobar":

$ ps -ef | grep foobar
... 2323 1290 0 14:27 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash -c foobar
... 2328 2323 15 14:27 ? 00:00:00 c:\Pgms\foobar2000\foobar2000.exe Z:\home\me\

So the fluxbox's "Exec foobar" is sticking "Z:\home\me\" on the end of the command, and foobar scans it.

SOLVED:
"foobar" command line or thunar/"Open with":

Code: Select all

 #!/bin/sh
QUICKPARLOCATION="c:\\Pgms\\foobar2000\\foobar2000.exe"
PARAM=`winepath -w "$*"`
wine "$QUICKPARLOCATION" "$PARAM"
exit 0

foobarflux for "Exec foobarflux" from "Keys" file:

Code: Select all

 #!/bin/sh
cd /home/me/.wine/drive_c/Pgms/foobar2000/
wine foobar2000.exe /add "$*"
exit 0

The latter version doesn't pass any arguments to foobar.
