[Qgis-user] Action does not work unless "Capture" is true

[Don MacQueen]

Running QGis 0.10.0, also 0.9.1, on Mac OS 10.4.11

I have defined an Action which is simply to open a file (a photo, as 
it happens). Here are two slightly different ways of defining the 
Action.

The first one, with capture="1" works. The other does not.

<attributeactions>
     <actionsetting action="/usr/bin/open "/Volumes/otd/%%"" 
capture="1" name="Open photo" />
     <actionsetting action="/usr/bin/open "/Volumes/otd/%%"" 
capture="0" name="Open photo no capture" />
</attributeactions>

I find this surprising, enough so that I suspect that I myself am 
doing something wrong. But I've turned the capture option on and off 
enough times now that I have become convinced I've got an accurate 
description of the behavior.

Is this intended? Or is something not quite right? Can it be changed 
so that it works in both cases?

I suspect that back in version 0.8.1 it was not necessary to set 
capture = "1", but I can't verify it.

Thank you
