Disable a PATH program match for a desktop app when no arguments are guiven (780 bytes, patch)
2005-10-08 09:05 UTC, Joao Inacio 		none Details | Review

Description Joao Inacio 2005-10-08 08:59:35 UTC 
Any application with a desktop entry, and with a name equal to the binary
(gedit, gaim, nautilus...) will show two matches:
one from (Desktop) programs and another for (Path) programs.

Example:
When typing 'gedit' only the "Launch Text Editor (gedit)" match should show, and
when typing 'gedit myfile' another match should come up: "Execute gedit myfile".

Thanks !

I fixed this slightly differently, since not all programs are named
executable.desktop. (at least that is not mandatory, so we shouldn't rely on it)

Instead i index the .desktop files a second time, but only reading the
executable value, and create a list of known desktop programs which i can use to
match against PATH programs.

Please test.
Comment 3 Joao Inacio 2005-10-09 23:09:05 UTC 
Much better now, but (don't know if this related) i just see apps in window
mode, not when the applet is in panel.
Comment 4 Raphael Slinckx 2005-10-09 23:17:18 UTC 
I'm seeing this too, how weird..
Comment 5 Raphael Slinckx 2005-10-09 23:37:52 UTC 
Ok, i forgot to add the new file to makefile.am, fixed in CVS
