I have been using Hiri recently for my MS-Exchange email, a really nice
interface (https://www.hiri.com/)
If I right-click on the executing application window title bar I can

you know you can also DND it into ibar to place it exactly where you like?
that's what i do... :)
But drag and drop *what*? I tried with the title bar but that very
obviously doesn't work. The pop-out menu items (from right-clcik on the
title bar) don't drag. The block which appears in the dock (sorry, I
don't know the right terminology for this) while the program is
executing is also not draggable.
What do I drag and drop?
this should work if a .desktop file was installed for the app
No, definitely not. Installation is by detarring into /opt. You run it
with /opt/hiri/hiri.sh
AND enlightenment
matches up the window to the app desktop file instance. this tends to work
correctly for pretty much everything... except for me for steam apps/games.
I could probably edit up a .desktop file if there is a single place in
Bodhi to put it. Most distributions are bedevilled by there being a
dozen possible places and you have to know a priori which is the right one.
i'm going to go into steam a bit as this is something i have ready access to,
and i don't know what hiri sets/does or puts in its desktop file, but i do know
that "cross platform apps" often do things poorly on linux (x11) and it leads
to little nasties like "can't find desktop file" or "find wrong one" or
something and that may lead to not being able to add to ibar directly via menu
or dnd.
Yep. This is a classical instance. I can forgive them: it's new and
under dev (although very stable)...
...BUT on my other systems (Xubuntu running E), Hiri *does* appear in
the list of apps available from IBar » Contents, whereas in Bodhi it
doesn't.
I'm afraid I have no idea what Steam is. I know it's something to do
with games, but I haven't used computers for games since Advent was a
console game :-)
... you get the idea.
Nope, 'fraid not.
I'm now running Bodhi instead of Xubuntu, and snap appears to be
so you're not running enlightenment then?
No idea, it doesn't say.
running moshka
Yes.
bodhi's fork of our
release from 2012 (5 years old)? so 5 years worth of bug fixes, improvements
etc. wouldn't count? in which case... I'm not sure we'll be on the same page.
It didn't say. It looked like E and quacked like E :-)
or did you nuke moshka and install E 0.22 etc.?
Only just barely coaxed Bodhi into installing on this laptop, so I want
to go VERY slowly otherwise it's likely to fail. I might even trash
Bodhi and try Mint (the only other distro which fired up without hanging).
From what you say I should definitely trash Moshka. Why on earth are
they still using it I wonder.
.desktop files is how it works.
Amen.
