I did some tracing through, and have found where things go wrong.
At the start of the code listed above,
cmd = "c:/progra~1/sumatrapdf/sumatrapdf.exe %s"
file = "c:/dropbox/org/personal.pdf"
(convert-standard-filename file) returns
"C:/dropbox/org/personal.pdf"
So far so good...
However,
(shell-quote-argument (convert-standard-filename file)) returns
"c\\:dropbox/org/personal.pdf"
That's where the problem occurs. After this block of code is completed, cmd
takes the value
"c:/progra~1/sumatrapdf/sumatrapdf.exe c\\:dropbox/org/personal.pdf"
This command causes sumatrapdf to squawk with an error. It's the "\\:" that
causes the problem. If, after this block of code executes, I manually switch
the "\\:" back to ":/", so cmd goes back to
"c:/progra~1/sumatrapdf/sumatrapdf.exe c:/dropbox/org/personal.pdf"
and then press "c" to continue, the PDF file pops up just fine. Could we just
drop the call to shell-quote-argument? It seems like everything would work fine
without this call.
