[SailfishDevel] Local desktop files

[Matthias Fehring]

Hello,

is it somehow possible to install local desktop files in locations like 
~/.local/share/applications that are shown in the launcher?

Trying to put some in that path or in ~/Desktop (with xdg-desktop-icon) does 
not show them up in the launcher. Seems that the launcher only observes 
/usr/share/applications for desktop files. Copying one there as root shows it 
up in the launcher. But that is not really good practice. Especially when the 
icons should be shortcuts to web pages.

Best greetings

[SailfishDevel] Haptic feedback for silica components, or lack thereof.

[Luciano Montanaro]

Hello, everybody,

I have spent the afternoon playing with my calculator application.
Using it, I realised it needs some feedback to the user, since
pressing the keys obscure them, and the highlighting is mostly lost.

So I checked what is available, and found that QtFeedback is what I needed.

Now the calculator has its feedback, which is ok.

I am using ThemeEffect.PressWeak, which feels right.

However...

I am not sure using a Button together with the effect is right:

it is possible that in the future Buttons will ue haptics feedback on
their own, so my usage would interfere. So I fear this change will not
be acceptable in the Harbour.

Since haptic feedback is already used in the pulley menu, I expect
more silica components will get it in the future, can someone confirm
this?

Should I spin my own custom buttons?

Best regards,
Luciano
