Got a problem with a script that calls a system command from a UI. I'm on Fedora 12 w/xfce and trying to browse to a folder with a system command doesn't work and I'm not sure quite why. If I run this from the script editor (thunar is the window browser on xfce):
{
string $path = "/MAYA_RENDERS/";
system("thunar "+$path);
}
It opens up that window as expected. Calling it from a UI doesn't however; it pins Maya until I ssh in from another box and kill the thunar process. I've tried using the full system path for the command, wrapping it with an eval() command, passing the path to a shell command to open it, using Dolphin instead...no dice. We run a lot of different shell scripts here in our pipeline, so I have a feeling I'm missing something simple here so if anyone has an idea what that is, I'd be very grateful.
