Description Eugene O'Connor 2002-07-31 16:43:04 UTC 
In the Create launcher dialog, there are six types of launcher:
Application, Link, FSDevice, MimeType, Service, and Service Type. From a
thread on desktop-devel-list, it looks like the last four of these are not
relevant to a user adding a launcher. Should these four types be removed
from the Create launcher dialog?

Here is the thread:

Will do.
Comment 2 Kjartan Maraas 2002-10-27 18:38:57 UTC 
Still there in 2.1.x.

        switch (type) {
        case ONLY_DIRECTORY:
                add_menuitem (menu, "Directory", _("Directory"),
                              select, &selected);
                break;
        default:
                add_menuitem (menu, "Application", _("Application"),
                              select, &selected);
                                                                     
          
                if (type != ALL_EXCEPT_DIRECTORY)
                        add_menuitem (menu, "Directory", _("Directory"),
                                      select, &selected);
                                                                     
          
                add_menuitem (menu, "Link", _("Link"),
                              select, &selected);
                add_menuitem (menu, "FSDevice", _("FSDevice"),
                              select, &selected);
                add_menuitem (menu, "MimeType", _("MIME Type"),
                              select, &selected);
                add_menuitem (menu, "Service", _("Service"),
                              select, &selected);
                add_menuitem (menu, "ServiceType", _("ServiceType"),
                              select, &selected);
                break;
        }

Removing the four last entries is easy, but what does the "Directory"
entry really do? It doesn't show up in my menu at least.

Hmm, the whole dialog needs a re-think. See bug #95331

Everything in this bug is covered in bug #95331
