The program might be outputting to stderr, in which case you need to use
gtk-update-icon-cache --force --ignore-theme-index --source
builtin_icons stock-icons 2> temp.file
Sorry for the delay in replying Jernej, I got diverted onto a different
project.
Just to recap.... I was having problems when using the utility
"gtk-update-icon-cache.exe" as I couldn't make it redirect its output to
a file. I tried your suggestion about trapping stderr instead of stdout
but unfortunately, that didn't work either.
I did discover though that the only way to redirect the utility's output
successfully is to run as an Administrator. If I run as a normal user I
consistently end up with an empty target file. However, even running as
an Administrator isn't foolproof. It only works if I run from a Windows
Command Prompt. If I attempt to run gtk-update-icon-cache.exe from a
script of some kind, redirection immediately stops working again. It's
incredibly frustrating.
Is the source code for gtk-update-icon-cache.exe available anywhere?
Maybe I could get some clues about the problem if I could read the
source code.
John
