Add support for desktop links
Last modified: 2009-12-16 17:21:03 UTC
Sabayon should support adding and removing of desktop links to a particular profile (and making them mandatory if required).
Created attachment 90908 [details] [review] Patch to implement the feature Attaching patch which implements this feature. It works in a roundabout way since the Sabayon profile editing (which actually shows the session) does not have any root privilege. The basic plan is outlined at http://mail.gnome.org/archives/sabayon-list/2007-June/msg00003.html Note that this feature requires Nautilus to have the global desktop items patch (not included in Nautilus yet...)
Sayamindu, the patch looks interesting, but I think this one can be solved by implementing 374861, having the zip file store enough metadata to recognize a symlink. Then the links can just be created in the Desktop file as one would "normally expect" (for default values of "normal" :) I'm going to mark this as a dupe of 374861, which I've assigned to me. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 374861 ***
