i assign it to correct component Looking at the code, I can't even begin to see how this could happen. What if you don't rename to TEST.desktop? Very strange. Idea - maybe konsole.desktop is overridden by another konsole.desktop with the same name, so isn't really used? Hi, I'm going through bugs assigned to me and attempting to clean some of the older, fixed ones up. This bug hasn't changed in over a year old now. Are you still seeing the problem? (This a batch message is being sent to all my bugs that haven't changed in a year) Hi, This bug has been in the NEEDINFO state for at least a couple of weeks now. I'm going to close the bug, but if you can provide the required information feel free to open a new report. Thanks. (This is a mass message being sent to a bunch of bug reports) |
Description of problem: When running 'desktop-create-kmenu', it complains about assorted desktop files being invalid when found in one of the alternative directory locations (e.g. /usr/share/gnome/apps/) The exact same file is processed quite happily when located in the main /usr/share/applications directory Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.1-13 How reproducible: Very Steps to Reproduce: 1. cp /usr/share/applications/konsole.desktop /usr/share/gnome/apps/TEST.desktop 2. /usr/bin/desktop-create-kmenu 2>&1 | grep TEST 3. Actual results: Warning: ignoring invalid desktop file /usr/share/gnome/apps/TEST.desktop Expected results: Corresponding entry created in menu structure Additional info: This is with Ximian XD2 installed. It may well be that there is some incompatibility there. I'm quite happy to investigate further, but some advice as to where to look would be appreciated.
