GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 653470
Please add Unity Launcher quicklist to gedit desktop file
Last modified: 2011-10-08 22:47:15 UTC
The Ubuntu Unity launcher supports quicklists, progress bars and counts on the individual application launcher icons. The Unity Launcher API is documented at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/LauncherAPI . The attached patch adds a static quicklist to Gedit. The patch is written so that the quicklist items appear only when Unity is running. The change will have no effect in Gedit running under GNOME Shell/GNOME Panel.
Created attachment 190738 [details] [review] Patch to add Unity launcher quicklist
Review of attachment 190738 [details] [review]: this should be managed with gtkapplication, although as gtkapplication doesn't support it yet I am fine with it for now.

Reopening this, as it is producing an error: /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/gedit-3.1.3-1.fc16.x86_64/usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop: error: file contains group "NewDocument Shortcut Group", but groups extending the format should start with "X-" /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/gedit-3.1.3-1.fc16.x86_64/usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop: error: file contains group "NewWindow Shortcut Group", but groups extending the format should start with "X-" Error on file "/builddir/build/BUILDROOT/gedit-3.1.3-1.fc16.x86_64/usr/share/applications/gedit.desktop": Failed to validate the created desktop file I will revert the patch until I get a new one.
Well, feel free to provide a good patch for it. In the meantime I am closing this.
