We just have to pass a list where the first element is the command-name. The following works for me using your 'textconv = odf2txt --width=40' test and also a 'textconv = od -t x1' that I tried for a hex dump output. I couldn't make run-mailcap do anything useful for me. diff --git a/lib/blame.tcl b/lib/blame.tcl index 2137ec9..c06ef04 100644 --- a/lib/blame.tcl +++ b/lib/blame.tcl @@ -460,7 +460,7 @@ method _load {jump} { } if {$commit eq {}} { if {$do_textconv ne 0} { - set fd [open |[list $textconv $path] r] + set fd [open |[linsert $textconv end $path] r] } else { set fd [open $path r] } -- Pat Thoyts http://www.patthoyts.tk/ PGP fingerprint 2C 6E 98 07 2C 59 C8 97 10 CE 11 E6 04 E0 B9 DD -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
