GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 86169
panel application launcher does not display back advanced settings
Last modified: 2006-03-25 16:29:45 UTC
GNOME 2.0 Add to Panel -> launcher.. menu ( This can be invoked by right clicking on the panel ) In the "Create Launcher" dialog box that comes up Fill in the name and command columns with a name and a valid app. name. In the advanced input a valid locale name (in the and the first text box in Add/Set button row) and a name in that locale for the next field. Here you can add more than one locale and name Click OK and the corresponding icon appears in panel Right click on the icon to bring up the property window, you can see the current locale name and the command name in the basic tab and in the advanced, though the entries made for the locales should appear, it comes up blank. So once the user enters something, there's no way of seeing the data again. This must be modified.
Also some other issues in the same area. When info. is stored under $HOME/.gnome-desktop directory, the encoding part of the locale name is cut off, this means that in Solaris zh_CN.GB18030/zh_CN.UTF-8 locales entries are folded into one. Also the same thing seems to happen for locales which are sym. links. The info. gets foled in under a single locale.
This is very borderline high; I'd have no objection to pushing it back down.
The problem is in the GnomeDitemEdit widget, not gnome-panel
The way it works now is as follows: Name: The same in the basic and advanced tabs Common name: Same as above Comment: Same as above Language: Only specified in the advanced tab, but entering no_NO.UTF-8 makes it cut off everything after and including the dot. The latter is the only bug I can see here. Please describe further if I'm missing something.
After creating this entry: [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Application Exec=gnome-terminal TryExec= X-GNOME-DocPath= Terminal=false Name[es_ES]=Prueba es GenericName[es_ES]=Prueba es Comment[es_ES]=Comentario es Name[fr_FR]=prueba fr GenericName[fr_FR]=prueba fr Comment[fr_FR]=comentario fr and bringing up properties --> Advanced I can see only the es_ES one, no the fr_FR
(In reply to comment #4) > Language: Only specified in the advanced tab, but entering no_NO.UTF-8 > makes it cut off everything after and including the dot. > > The latter is the only bug I can see here. This is not a bug since .desktop file should be in UTF-8 anyway. However, I can see the original bug too...
This is fixed in HEAD, now.
