fix for capplet compliance (1.79 KB, patch)
2002-09-17 21:00 UTC, Ali Akcaagac 		none Details | Review

Description Ali Akcaagac 2002-09-17 19:28:58 UTC 
there used to be a preferences dialog thingy in
applications->desktop_preferences this somehow magically disappeared the
past couple of days (from a new re-compile) using gnome-2-0 branches. could
it be that some schemas or structures got changed ? i would be thankfull to
get a fix for that.
Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2002-09-17 20:03:07 UTC 
Not sure why it isn't showing up in your menus; you can
run it manually as 'gnome-cd-properties'
Comment 2 Ali Akcaagac 2002-09-17 20:59:42 UTC 
but i know why... after investigating into it and creating this patch.

magicdev puts its desktop file into applications instead in
control-center-2.0/capplets. seems that the old way got changed
recently. so you cant put capplet material into applications anymore.

my patch changes this stuff:

- put the desktop file into the control-center-2.0/capplets dir where
all the capplet related material should go.
- put the glade file into control-center-2.0/interfaces where all the
capplet glade files should go.

please review it and change the specs file if necessary.

Comment 4 Ali Akcaagac 2002-09-19 23:48:18 UTC 
yeah looks like you were right, i talked with hadess about that and he
thinks that applications is the right place so no problems with
magicdev (i think) but i opened a bug for the vfolder stuff now #93712
let's keep an eye on that and the reply of the vfolder programmer.
until then i would be thankfull to have that one kept open...
Comment 5 mike 2002-09-27 18:47:07 UTC 
On this one in particular - it is a gnome1.4 capplet and these are
specifically excluded in the file 
/etc/vfolders/preferences-all-users.vfolder-info
see line exclude mergedirs

This happened when vfolders-rewrite branch landed in gnome-vfs-2.0.4
Comment 6 Ali Akcaagac 2002-09-27 19:06:54 UTC 
sorry partially my fault but i am refering to the CVS HEAD version of
magicdev which is a GNOME 2.x port and follows all valid GNOME 2.x rules.
Comment 7 Owen Taylor 2003-01-09 20:48:45 UTC 
Applying the fixed .desktop file installation. Not making
the rest of the changes ... just because magicdev is
installing a capplet doesn't mean it should be putting
it's data files (other than the ones that the control
center looks at) into the control center's directories.

Thanks.

This bug was marked RESOLVED without a resolution, which Bugzilla does not allow (and so I am fixing it). It is assumed that the bug was intended to be marked as FIXED. If the bug should have some other resolution, please change its resolution.
