Since some versions (now 21.0.88) Locate--> On Disk (external) no longer works. Nothing happens.
Cover Art -> Add from file: works and I have access by the file manager to the directory where the file is stored.
It's the same in Debian Testing Xfce and Cinnamon
-
What is the path name of the file you are trying to locate?
Can you try some without spaces and or quotes (double and single)?
-
it does not matter whether with or without space. Both does not work:
This:
/media/Musik/(Multiple Artists)/Blue Notables Vol.12 _ Blue Note's Six Vital Organs - Home Of The Hammond/Larry Young - Blue Notables Vol.12 _ Blue Note's Six Vital Organs - Home Of The Hammond - 06 - Plaza De Toros.flac
or this
/media/Musik/Albert Collins/Frostbite/Albert Collins - Frostbite - 08 - Snowed In.flac
or This:
/media/HD753LJ/Import/Neu/larry_carlton_and_robben_ford-unplugged-cd-flac-2013/08-larry_carlton_and_robben_ford-rio_samba.flac
Nothing is working

Interesting.
I found the issue where the space or single quote breaks it but without those it works as expected.
It's most likely that xdg-open is broken on your system.
You can test it from a command line.

Xfce is a fresh install of yesterday (without ~ / directory)
xdg-open http://www.jriver.com
---> works (opens firefox) (file)

---> works to (opens VLC After mime-type mapping: -. Opens MC21) (file)
I tried the same thing in a VM (Stretch / Mate) -----> the same poor result

How about:
xdg-open file:///media/HD753LJ/Import/Neu/larry_carlton_and_robben_ford-unplugged-cd-flac-2013/
or
xdg-open file://media/HD753LJ/Import/Neu/larry_carlton_and_robben_ford-unplugged-cd-flac-2013/

~$ xdg-open file:///media/HD753LJ/Import/Neu/rory_gallagher-stage_struck-remastered-cd-2000
this directory does not exist ---> rename :-[
but this works:
xdg-open file:///media/HD753LJ/Import/Neu/rory_gallagher-stage_struck-remastered-cd-2000
This did not work:
~$ xdg-open file:////media/HD753LJ/Import/Neu/Sharon Lewis & Texas Fire - The Real Deal
[1] 20407
bash: Texas: Kommando nicht gefunden.
hans@sparkyxfce:~$ xdg-open: unexpected argument 'Lewis'
Try 'xdg-open --help' for more information.
I made a log file in the VM (Mate / Stretch)
I can only say that it worked until recently. And I can also say that I will not rename 60,000 files
/// ---> works
// ---> dont't work
//// ----> works ?
~$ xdg-open /media/HD753LJ/Import/Neu/rory_gallagher-stage_struck-remastered-cd-2000 --> works

success:
I have the directory
/ Otis Clay - Truth Is / renamed to
/ Otis_Clay _-_ Truth_Is /
have newly imported directory ---> MC opens the directory
But that is no solution:
My default location is:
[Artist] / [Album]
and the Filemane - rule is:
[Artist] - [Album] - [Track #] - [Name]
When the album name or artist name consists of more than one word , I had to rename the real name:
instead Truth Is -> Truth_Is
-
For sure there are problems with spaces in the current build. We are working on that right now so don't rename stuff!
I'm pretty certain this should work:
xdg-open 'file://media/HD753LJ/Import/Neu/Sharon Lewis & Texas Fire - The Real Deal'
or
xdg-open 'file:///media/HD753LJ/Import/Neu/Sharon Lewis & Texas Fire - The Real Deal'
should work.
-
xdg-open 'file:///media/HD753LJ/Import/Neu/Sharon Lewis & Texas Fire - The Real Deal'
only with three slashes works
with two slashes: I get this:
The address "file: // media / HD753LJ / Import / New / Sharon Lewis & Texas Fire - The Real Deal" could not be opened.
Failed to get information for file "/ HD753LJ / Import / New / Sharon Lewis & Texas Fire - The Real Deal": file or directory not found.
It must be three or more slashes.
Seven slashes works as well ? ? ? ?
-
Correction:
It appears that only two slashes do not work.
One slash works
And that too:
xdg-open '/ media / HD753LJ / Import / New / Sharon Lewis & Texas Fire - The Real Deal'

Ok. Thanks.
I think it was doing 3 slashes already but not quoting. Should be a build later today...
